Half Shell Raw Bar

Half Shell Raw Bar on Margaret Street is as old-school Key West as it gets — a no-frills waterfront seafood joint at the Historic Seaport where the focus is entirely on fresh fish and shellfish straight from the boats nearby. Plastic trays, paper napkins, cold beer, and great seafood sum up the experience. It's an institution that locals and repeat visitors love precisely because it hasn't tried to be anything other than what it is. If you want the honest, unpretentious side of Key West seafood culture, this is your spot.
