★★★☆☆ 3.0 Larry “Madeira Larry” B · Jan 2026

Have been coming to this location for many years for their Infamous Shrimp Pasta and this was the very first time being “underwhelmed” with the signature dish. The shrimp didn’t seem much larger than salad shrimp being the first visual note and the color of the Alfredo Sauce had a darker brownish tint to it and while didn’t taste bad wasn’t the normally FANTASTIC flavor that keeps bringing me back. Normally when getting this “Signature Dish” I usually wonder why I waited so long to re-visit them as it is THAT GOOD! This time after the first bite was actually a little disappointed. I normally use the fork to cut the jumbo shrimp in half but not this time. The small shrimp were a little rubbery as if slightly overcooked. We started with the Calamari Appetizer which was delicious. Definitel

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seashells on Gulf Boulevard — St. Pete’s splashiest seafood stop! If you’re after that proper Gulf Coast vibe — the kind that hits you with salt air, sunshine, and a hint of “should I move here?” — Seashells has it in absolute buckets. 🐚🌊 First off: Angelica. An icon. The kind of server who makes you feel like you’ve been coming here since the dawn of the pelican. Warm, quick, and on it — she’s the reason customer service standards elsewhere suddenly feel… under-seasoned. Now the menu? Huge. It reads like a marine census. If it once swam, floated, or scuttled, it’s probably here — and cooked better than anywhere else on the strip. I went for the grilled shrimp, my all-time favourite, and honestly… chef’s kiss. Fresh, juicy, perfectly charred — the kind of shrimp that makes y

Great food with great service! The portions are generous and the prices are still very reasonable for the location. Would definitely come back here again if I were in the area.

Great soup find!The clam chowder was thick with clams and a delicious find. The lobster bisque was creamy and buttery with chunks of lobster throughout. Bang boom Shrimp tacos were spicy and delicious. We enjoyed the crispy flour tortillas they are served in.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shaun Marosy · Jul 2025

If you’re visiting St. Pete Beach and looking for a memorable seafood experience, Shells Seafood is an absolute gem — a true local treasure that delivers everything you’d want from a coastal dining experience. We had the pleasure of dining here recently and were blown away by both the food and the service. Rachel W., our server, was outstanding — warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made our evening even more enjoyable with her welcoming energy and expert recommendations. We started with the crab cakes, which were perfectly golden on the outside and bursting with fresh, flavorful crab on the inside — no fillers, just quality. The grilled shrimp skewers were tender and smoky, grilled to perfection and served with just the right balance of seasoning. The shrimp
