SHELLS OF MELBOURNE – Seafood
Three decades of fresh, local seafood on West New Haven Avenue in Melbourne, plating shrimp pasta, skewers, crab, swordfish, oysters, and clam chowder in a quiet, family-oriented room. Online reservations, private parties, and catering run beside daily service to 9 or 10. Reviewers salute quality ingredients and friendly service across the thirty-year run. It suits Melbourne seafood traditions, chowder-first orders, family celebration tables, and locals who count restaurant decades as references. The room's understated pace makes it the corridor's default for anniversary dinners that want seafood without the tourist markup.
