Shell Shack is a Mexico Beach classic, even older than I am which I know because I spent many days there as a young child being babysat by the family owners and hanging out in the shop and home. When I visit now, I have to stop by still, though everything has changed. But it's still the best shrimp you'll find, and take a tub of the fish dip too. There are also shell gifts and fun finds, and it's a must stop for the true Mexico Beach. read more

First time staying in Mexico beach and stayed for 8 days. We went to shell shack 4 times during our stay and it was phenomenal! Nick helped us out every time and told us how much we needed (just my boyfriend and I) and how to prepare it. They also steamed some snow crab, oysters and shrimp for us with different seasonings. Steaming only took about 20 mins even on their busiest night and it went by even quicker as we got to browse the store. Golden tile and snapper were delicious. We will definitely be back next year!!! read more

There is a reason this place is an icon on the beach! Great fresh fish locally caught as well as shrimp. All surrounded by unique shell work and crafts. read more

A variety of seafood for purchase and lots of souvenirs to choose from. We got fresh grouper and they prepped the filets for us. The hush puppies were also great! read more

Came from PC with my fiancé for a beach day and wanted some seafood. Looked for nearby places that we hadn't been to before and found this gem. For a place that sells seafood you couldn't tell at all. The place was SOOOOOO clean. As you walk in you cannot smell any seafood at all which is so surprising. We got two lbs of steamed shrimp, they were very fresh and priced very well. They have a lot of souvenirs for tourists as well. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Very good experience and glad to support local. read more

OH MY GOSH. The steamed shrimp to order was fabulous. The fish dip was beyond amazing. Next time we get back to Mexico beach will return.

Much nicer than your typical tourist trap places. Wide selection of very nice items. Don't be afraid of the fact that it's also a fresh fish store - it doesn't smell fishy at all! Very pleasant shopping experience, friendly staff. read more

Great steamed shrimp! Price is the best you'll find around too! Plenty of choices for spice level as well. If you are coming off of the beach, this is your lunch spot! read more

Was on vacation in Mexico Beach with my sister and stopped at the Shell Shack to check it out . The owners are amazing . I think it's a Mother and son running their store working hard . They have all kinds of fresh seafood, good information about their products.. They also have a amazing gift shop !!! Everything was at least $10 less than other stores.. Now that made me smile. Definitely looking forward to go back and find some more treasures... read more

Snow crab seasoned with Old Bay was awesome. Very fresh and right on time. Ordered scallops, but will definitely come back for the shrimp.

We got snow crab legs steamed with Slap Ya Mama seasoning and the small shrimp steamed with Old Bay seasoning. Service was excellent, and he didn't mind our questions. Crab legs were so good and the shrimp was delicious! Tender, not over cooked, and perfectly seasoned. We stayed across the street, so transporting the food back to where we were staying was no problem. Will probably buy some more shrimp before we leave! read more

We had a lot of red snapper, they told us they would clean the fish for a dollar a pound, we had 80 pounds and they decided to take half of our snapper to resale including our 10 pound snapper we caught and we never got to enjoy it (cook it), don't let them clean your fish, they will rob you. read more

Excellent seafood! We bought a piece of snapper for grilling and it was delicious. Very nice business with lots of souvenirs.

Best steamed shrimp!! Wonderful, friendly customer service. We'll definitely return when we're back in Mexico Beach

Very clean, nice fish market. The fresh smoked fish dip is delicious!! I didn't have a chance to buy fresh fish or shrimp but it looked and smelled really fresh. The rest of the shop is mainly souvenirs. read more

Excellent steamed shrimp! Small unassuming place. Part gift shop and part fresh seafood. We will patronize again when in Mexico Beach.

Shell Shack came highly recommend by Mexico Beach regulars and it did not disappoint. Super friendly, super fast service, shrimp/crab legs/fish all looked super fresh. Had enough souvenirs to pick something nice but not too many to be overwhelming. We purchased shrimp and crab legs and had them steamed in-house with Old Bay and Cajun seasoning. We took them back to our condo to eat that afternoon and they tasted great! Highly recommend. read more

Outstanding fresh seafood. Had steamed shrimp and fresh grouper tonight. It was delicious!

Great place with reasonable prices,the staff are extremely friendly and very helpful.. Do not use gps it takes you to the other side of town to an empty lot with weeds and sand read more

This is my favorite place so far on my vacation. We have been here four times and can't wait to go back for more. The first day, we got shrimp and T-shirts. The second day, 2 pounds of shrimp and smoked fish dip. More shrimp and now a tuna steak! Everything is so tasty to the point of addiction. I love the staff A+++ personality! **** TIP - the smoked fish dip is only made on Thursdays and it sells out fast! It was ready and "2-ish" and almost sold out by 3:30!!!! Grabbed 3 pots to last us thru the weekend! read more

One of the best places to grab fresh seafood in the Mexico beach area, as well as plenty of seasonings and a light grocery selection. And, if you're into beach kitsch this place has a near limitless array (see photos). Racks on racks of tees, kissing dolphin statues, seashell nightlights and much much more! The people who run this place are pretty friendly, and if you can tell them a couple of good jokes they may even cut you a deal on some crocodile heads! read more

If you're into sea shells like I am, then the Shell Shack in Mexico Beach is the place to be! As its name obviously suggests, the Shell Shack sells shells. A lot of them. Tons of them. All kinds and all colors and all at competitive prices. They also sell all kinds of other gift shop type items as well as sea food. I can't comment on the sea food since I hate sea food. But if the shells that the Shell Shack sells are any kind of barometer, then I'd bet that their sea food is also top notch for those people who are into eating the things that live in the aforementioned shells (and, alternatively, that swim in the same water where the sea shells are located). Need a gift for grandma or for the rug rats back home? Need a shell to complete your bathroom seascape? Need some (ewwww!) sea food? You can't go wrong at the Shell Shack! read more

While on vacation we stopped in & grabbed some fresh shrimp to cook at the house & some souvenirs. The shrimp needed a lot of cleaning (part of the fun!) but was very fresh, large, & tasty! The store has tons of shells (hence the "shell" shack) & great prices on fresh seafood. A great benefit was that they didn't close down from 2-5 pm like 90% of the towns shops & restaurants do. Pretty sure they were cash only as well. read more

As the Yelp headline reads. "Woohoo! as good as it gets!" As a retired person, I eat out a lot, and have more disappointing experiences than good. Shell Shack is a happy exception to this rule. Of course, I don't eat there, but I carry out -- especially steamed shrimp -- at least twice a week when I'm in town. Fresh, high quality seafood, fair prices, competent, friendly staff. Headed there soon. Love it! read more

Fresh seafood at a good price. The gift shop was cute and had something for everyone.

Cool little place to get local fresh seafood. Bought two pounds of fresh large shrimp and they were delicious! Reasonably priced ($10.95/lb). Store also has gift shop items and sea shells. Staff was nice, quick, and efficient. read more

Bought fresh tuna and shrimp yesterday, cooked tuna steaks last night and they were amazing! The jumbo shrimp there were great also! The fishmonger had a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable and helpful! Also wonderful flounder and red snapper from there this week as well! THE ONLY retail seafood place around! A must for foodies and chefs! read more

Half gift shop, half seafood market. Never mind the kitschy gift shop half unless you're a tourist, or you're looking to buy a cute bumper sticker. Get on over to the delicious half of the shop and order some smoked fish dip, perfect on saltines or club crackers, and a few pounds of freshly caught gulf shrimp -- they'll even season it and steam it for you. They don't devein the shrimp though, heads up. Also, you'll have to take everything with you, there's no place to sit and dig in. read more

Really cool place with a good selection of seafood. Definitely worth a visit just to mess around, buy seafood, or get some fishing bait.
