From the local food press

Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Half Shell is an East Memphis seafood institution with oysters, crab, fish, and familiar Gulf Coast preparations served in a relaxed, dim room. Memphis Magazine continues to name it in seafood polling. Start with oysters if the day's selection appeals, then move toward a grilled or blackened entree for contrast. The restaurant's longevity and late-night rhythm make it different from the city's newer polished seafood dining rooms.
