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.

Every oyster has a story beyond the shell. 🦪♻️

At Half Shell Raw Bar, we’re proud to partner with the City of Key West -- Government and Everglades Oysters to recycle roughly three tons of oyster shells each month. Once collected, the shells are transported to the mainland for curing and beneficial reuse, helping support our local environment one shell at a time.

Join us for fresh oysters and be part of a more sustainable future in the Keys. Stop by, grab a seat, and raise a shell to oyster recycling. 🌊

Come for the sunset, stay for the stories.

Step inside and you'll find a taste of old Key West still very much alive, from local fishermen unloading the day’s catch straight into our fish market to the rhythm of a place that's never lost its edge.

At The Half Shell Raw Bar, it starts with the view and ends with a story worth retelling. 🌅
