This is my childhood favorite place to eat on the island. This family run restaurant may be
of the best kept secrets in all of Texas dining. Fresh and Professional are the first 2 words that come to mind.
The food is prepared, plated and presented beautifully. Their menu is a thoughtful expression of the Texas coastal fare with delicious steaks for a more traditional dinner. The open face tuna sandwich is a must have, and their homemade sauces and bread really make the meal.
The peach sangria had mango in it, so be careful if you have allergies as my wife found out.
The seared Mahi Mahi, with lime aioli sauce and steamed vegetables was very tasty. A bit over steamed on the vegetables, but the addition of jicama to the medley was nice. The sauce was as good as it gets and brought the entire dish together.
If you are ever in Port Aransas, Shells is a must visit. Fresh, thoughtful, and wonderfully food prepared consistently for well over 20 years that I've been eating there.
**they also serve some of the best Sushi.**
We never knew this place existed! I'm so glad we found it. Did not wait long to be seated and the server was so amazing and attentive. My son even dropped some of his canned soda and the waitress brought him a new one super fast. Everything looked so good we couldn't decide what to get but what we did get was delicious. Everyone was very satisfied with our meals. Definitely recommended if your looking for a seafood/pasta/with a tiny bit of Asian flair.
