Perfect place to stop after a day at the beach. We ordered the garlic clams, coconut shrimp with the potato salad and coleslaw, and flounder sandwich. Service was good, staff was very friendly and attentive, and atmosphere was nice.

This place was phenomenal! Eat outside! Blackened scallops were like butter, Thai calamari was a party in your mouth, anything crab was a dream come true. Our waitress, Megan was the GOAT. So friendly, had the best suggestions and went above and beyond! 100% recommend Ship Bottom Shellfish!

The food here is great. I recommend the crab cake and the blackened scallop appetizers, the seafood bisque soup, and the oysters. Others at my table had the soft shell crab and loved it. The key lime pie was decent.

A fun place that we don’t visit often enough. The food is always super yummy, the staff is always, friendly, attentive and fast moving, it’s BYOB and we always leave satisfied. The linguine with red clam sauce is so good. Buffalo calamari is super good, just ask for extra blue cheese. Just be prepared to wait a bit before being seated.

Everything was delicious as always, we had a large table and ended up with a long wait but that was understandable. There was a mix up on our order and we got the more favorable price without asking. If you have more than 4 on a busy night expect a decent wait. We had 7 and we’re there nearly an hour before seating.

We came for dinner just before 8 on a Wednesday; the wait was about an hour. The hostess was honest, courteous and professional even in the face of some guests who had a hard time with waiting. It’s BYOB and there is a liquor store across the street. We sat outside. The service was prompt and friendly and our 2 appetizers came very quickly. The Thai calamari was light and crisp and the seared tuna was amazing. We shared an entree (blackened tuna and crab cake) and were both very satisfied with our portion. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent seafood restaurant on the island.

Excellent seafood. It’s a bit of a wait, but worth it. I ordered the macadamia nut encrusted halibut. It was crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. My family also ordered the crab cakes, shrimp scampi, calamari, and bacon wrapped scallops. All the food was delicious, and the service was fantastic!

6/2022: The service at the counter was very pleasant and helpful. Keep up the good work. Ordered the soft shell crab sandwich to go for $23. The crab itself was simply okay and the fries were crispy and chunky. The bread buns for the sandwich was not good. I would not order this again, thus the three stars. The food coming out of the kitchen looked very mediocre. Enjoy what you can.

Got the 3 piece fried chicken to go. It was still raw. 1 star for the potato salad was good.
