'''Giuseppe "Joe" Patti''' ([[1901]]-[[1992]]) was a Sicilian fishing boat captain who founded the [[Joe Patti Seafood Company]].

Born in [[1901]] to a fishing family in [[Wikipedia:Riposto|Riposto, Sicily]], Patti voyaged to New York City in 1919 and moved to the Pensacola area, where he found work on snapper boats and eventually became captain of his own ship. In [[1928]] he met [[Anna Patti|Anna Patane]], another Sicilian immigrant, and they married in [[1930]]. In [[1931]] Joe and Anna began selling seafood — mainly bait shrimp — from the back porch of their home, and in [[1935]] they opened [[Joe Patti's Fish Market]] in a shop on [[DeVilliers Street]].
