Half Shell is a modern, relaxed seafood restaurant that cleverly blends casual Cajun-style seafood boils with traditional Japanese Teishoku (set meals).Located right opposite the historic Queen Victoria Market, it is known for its interactive, hands-on dining experience and a menu that focuses heavily on fresh, market-sourced seafood.

I had a wonderful time! The service was excellent, and everything from the food to the ambience and overall atmosphere was fantastic. I was celebrating my birthday, and both my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It’s such a beautiful venue, and I’ll definitely be back, hopefully with seating in back half if the venue next time! Highly recommend. 😍👌🏿
