Pioneering the Concept of Eating Seafood by Hand and Putting Away Phones
The founders of SHELL OUT believe that the bold and hearty style of hand-peeling seafood is a truly unique experience. A variety of generous seafood is served on the table, and diners can use their hands to feel the temperature and directly pick up lobsters, crab legs, and more, all coated in Malaysia’s signature sauce flavors—impressing many seafood lovers.
SHELL OUT’s Hand-Peeling Seafood Cuisine
The restaurant has developed five different sauces, including lemon pepper, butter garlic, black pepper, curry flavor, and its signature lemon pepper mixed with butter garlic sauce. The rich seafood pairs perfectly with these unique sauces, while milder options are also available for shrimp and scallops.
Five Different Sauces Created for Dipping
As you step into the restaurant, you’ll see eye-catching neon lights shaped like fish and shrimp on the walls, bubble lights with ocean motifs hanging from the ceiling, and nautical elements such as fishing nets, hemp ropes, and ship tools scattered throughout, creating a strong harbor atmosphere. In addition, a conveniently placed hand-washing station is available for diners to clean up at any time.
