HALF SHELL RAW BAR – Seafood
An old shrimp factory on Margaret Street, still wearing its working-waterfront bones, with boats coming into the marina a few metres from the table. Half Shell Raw Bar keeps it simple: broiled garlic oysters, peel-and-eat shrimp, steamed middleneck clams, conch ceviche and fish and chips, with a fish market on site and a daily catch board. Locals mix with visitors, dogs are welcome, and the late-afternoon happy hour is when the place hums. Casual to its core. Sit near the water and do not dress up.
