Enjoy a frosty drink and the freshest seafood this side of the reef!

Set in the heart of the Historic Seaport at the Key West Bight, the Half Shell Raw Bar is an authentic Key West fish house. Once a shrimp packing building, it has stayed true to its blue-collar harbor front heritage.

One of the Half Shell's Greats, Greek had her employee shirt stolen that was hanging in the Half Shell's Sail Fish Bar. Over the years we sometimes hang up an employee tee shirt, apron, hat that has retired and moved on to bigger and better things. Thanks to Sandra & Victoria we have a new Greek Tee Shirt to hang up and it is purple Greek's favorite color.
