DJ’s Clam Shack was created in late 2009 when two Florida Keys restaurateurs decided to combine years of experience to create easily accessible fresh seafood for Key West locals. The newly formed partnership was steeped in rich northeast seafood tradition, with one partner hailing from Ipswich, Massachusetts and the other from Blue Point, New York. This rich tradition has made its way to the beautiful St. Augustine Historic District, one of Florida's most sought-after seafood destinations. As featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri in 2014 and again in 2020. Menu includes, lobster rolls, whole-belly clams, clam chowder, steamed clams, tacos, and more!
