Melshell Oyster Shack — Restaurant in Tasmania

They’re my No.1 🥇🏆 — seriously the BEST oysters I’ve ever had!! Located in the middle of nowhere 🤣 with just a food truck and a small factory next to it. They even recycle oyster shells as sauce containers — so cute! 😍 There’s also an oyster wall you have to check out! Besides oysters, they also serve other seafood and the quality is top-notch too 👍💯 Honestly, they’re one of the biggest reasons I’d return to Tassie 🫶🏻 Unforgettable!

🦪 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗢𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿💰$𝟭𝟴 (𝟭/𝟮 𝗱𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻) Their gold oysters are absolutely amazing! Super juicy, fatty, and fresh—you can literally taste the ocean! 🌊 We originally planned to try the silver ones too to compare, but they sold out so fast 😭

😳 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲💰$𝟭𝟱 This one surprised me in the best way 🥹 It was my first time trying mussels served cold, and they turned out better than expected! The sweet chilli sauce pairs perfectly. We wanted to order more, but—yep, sold out again 😭

🐟 𝗕𝗕𝗤 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗽💰$𝟭𝟬 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 They have a DIY BBQ option at your table where you can grill scallops, prawns, and oysters. Unfortunately, everything sold out quickly again, so we only managed to try the scallop. It was still delicious! The flavor is different from woodfire-grilled ones, but the BBQ version is still tasty—especially with the sauce and the bacon kebab on...

You HAVE TO visit this place if you’re in the area.

The experience was a whole nother level and the freshness of the oysters are unbeatable. The best oysters we’ve had throughout our trip💕

The lady (sorry I didn’t get your name) running the store was beautiful, she told us about the types of oysters that’s available and what she usually recommends. We went with half regular and half golden oysters.

These oysters are huge, like twice the size of your regular oysters. And the prices are extremely reasonable as well. You’ve got heaps of seating options, but we had to choose the one overlooking the sea.

The drive in was straightforward, you could either use google maps or simply follow the street signs that lead you there. Parking won’t be an issue.

We cannot recommend this place enough if you love...

So glad we found this little slice of oyster heaven. hands down the best oysters we’ve ever had! We loved it so much we came back twice: once on a sunny day with beautiful seating right by the water, and again on a rainy day where the cosy undercover setup was just perfect. The skewers were super tasty, and having the little BBQ at the table to cook them how we liked was such a fun touch! The gold oysters were buttery, flavour-packed, and all a great size. We also loved the thoughtful touches in the decor, loads of oyster shells, floats, and old buoys all cleverly repurposed instead of ending up in the ocean. The staff were absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. Totally worth the drive, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit, next time we’re...
