There are a grand total of 69 different shells in Another Crab's Treasure. If you want to collect them all, it will take basically the entire game to get them all.
Where to find all shells in Another Crab's Treasure - All locations
If you are still stuck on where to find all 69 shells, I have included maps below of each location where you can find that specific shell. Many of these, like the Soda Can, have many locations, so there are other places you can find them as well. Others will be dropped from specific bosses or might have to be purchased from inside the shell store in town.
1. Home
This is your shell, the whole point of this adventure. You have it at the beginning of the game, and then you lose it to a loan shark. You regain your Home shell by completing the game.
2. Soda Can
Soda cans are strewn all over the place in Another Crab's Treasure, but the first place you can find them is in Nephro's arena, all over the ground and in the vending machine.
3. Bottle Cap
There is a Bottle Cap on the top of Slacktide's castle, on one of the carboard balconies you need to pass through. This is another lightweight shell with lower defense.
4. Tin Can
In the area heading out of Slacktide Castle, you can find a Tin Can shell on the rusty aqueducts. This can have a much higher defense than anything you've seen in the game yet, and it is only medium in weight, which makes it a great swap for whatever you are using in the early game.

5. Shot Glass
Once you are in the Moon Caves, you can find the first Shot Glass Shell near the first shortcut. There will be a crab wielding a Q-Tip nearby. There are several other shot glasses in the area as well.
6. Banana Peel
The Banana Peel appears west of the Nephro fight, in the sand. This is a lighter weight shell with less defense than the others. The Munch Umami power is pretty helpful in this area.
7. Party Hat
This shell is located on a rock with a hair-comb-wielding crab in the Moon Caves. This is the first shell I found that had a bonus on it; the Party Hat gives you additional MSG, which is a little wave icon on its stats.
8. Coconut
You can find the coconut in the courtyard of Fort Slacktide? where there are two lobster knights; this can be found only after claiming the pearl.
9. Teacup
The first teacup shell I found was in Dushess Magistra's arena where you fight her after returning with the Pearl. There are several on the floor located around the fighting area.
10. Sauce Nozzle
The first time you can find one of these is on the road to the Big City. It is located next to the Moon Snail Shell, which is this game's version of a bonfire or save point, in Reef's Edge.
11. Thimble
This one is found along the route to get to the Big City; it can be found after killing crabs in Reef's End. It's in a couple of other places, but this was the first one I found.
12. Bebop Cup
This classic paper cup design is dropped after killing the boss of Sands Between, Pagurus, and The Ravenous. He will be wandering about in this location, chasing down any intruder to take them out.
13. Tennis Ball
A Tennis Ball can be found at the top of the ramp made of street signs in Reef's End where the NPC talks to you about speed. This will be used to roll down the ramp, so you really can't miss this one.
14. F
There appears to only be one of these in the whole game. It can be found in New Carcinia, one the sign for the Shellfish Desires. Look up at the sign and use the grappling hook in order to pull it down.
15. Mason Jar
The Mason Jar shell has the same Umami power as the shot glass; it creates spikes around you whenever you block with it. You can find one on a tall pillar that you have to grapple to near the Expired Knoll Moon Snail Shell.
16. Salt Shaker
The Salt Shaker has the same Shards Umami power as the Shot Glass and Mason Jar shells. You can find it near the Upper Swamp Moon Snail Shell in Flotsam Vale.
17. Conchiglie
The Conchiglie is on sale in New Carcinia, and you can purchase it for 750 microplastics. Just head to the Shellfish Desires to pick one up for yourself.
18. Bartholomew
Number 18 on the list of all 69 shells is Bartholomew, a Rubber Duck look-alike, but he has a pirate hat. In order to get him, you'll need 3,500 microplastics, and then you can buy him at the Shellfish Desires in New Carcinia.
19. Disco Ball
There is a crab rave going on, and if you speak to the NPC in this location, he tells you the music never stops. Float over to the platform where all the crabs are dancing, and kill them all. One of these crabs will have a Disco Ball on its head.
20. Baby Shoe
The Baby Shoe is Another Chance shell, and it can only be found at the Shellfish Desires in New Carcinia. It will cost a pretty penny; this one goes for 15,000 microplastics.
21. Lil' Bro
Lil' Bro is another shell that can only be purchased. You'll have to head to New Carcinia and go to the Shellfish Desires to pick this shell up for yourself.
22. Matryoshka (L)
There are three different sizes of Matryoshka shells: large, medium, and small. The medium and small ones are found inside of the big one, which needs to be purchased with microplastics in New Carcinia. It'll run you a staggering 25,000, but you get three shells in one.
23. Matryoshka (M)
The medium Matryoshka is located inside of the large Matryoshka; you need to use the Decoy Umami power of the large one to get the smaller version of it. Each time you use it, your doll shell will get a little bit smaller, which means the next shell is found the same way.
24. Matryoshka (S)
The small Matryoshka shell is found inside the medium Matryoshka shell, which is found inside of the large one. In order to get the smallest one, you need to use the Decoy Umami power of the large one and then use the Decoy power of the medium one.

37. Ham Tin
I found the Ham Tin shell hidden inside of a clam. It was located in a side room in the caves after the Village Entrance Moon Snail Shell. You will need to grapple up to this location to get it for yourself.

41. Spring
Close to the dumpster in the Sands Between's western edges, to the east of the Bobbit cliffs where you can get the Bobbit Trap Adaptation, there will be some Spring shells on the ground. Watch out for the Xs on the ground, as they hide Bobbit enemies that will grab you.

49. Ink Cartridge
The Ink Cartridge can be found on the ground while progressing through Scuttleport, shortly after lowering the giant propane tank.
50. Gacha Capsule
You can find a Gacha Capsule in the Mouth of the Drain. It will still be there even after the cutscene, so don't worry if you missed it the first time. Just head through the Moon Snail Shell here and look on the island you fast travel to.

In the beginning of the Unfathom area, you can find lightbulbs all over the place. This particular Lightbulb is very close to a shortcut door.

53. Going Under 64
In the Unfathom, in the darkened areas, you have to climb this mountain to find this N64 cartridge. It's pretty dark down here, so it can be pretty challenging to see very far away.
54. Sock

66. Knight's Helmet
There is only one Knight's Helmet in Another Crab's Treasure. You can find it in the Bleached Glade. First you need to ride the elevator up, then take the path to the left through a hole in the wall. You'll need to then do a very difficult jumping puzzle to get to this location.
67. Snail Sanctum
This is one of the eight Adaptations, and you get this by killing Petroch in the Unfathom. Head to the Moon Snail shell called Hermit's Plateau in the Unfathom.

68. Gun
The very first shell you can get in Another Crab's Treasure is the gun. This is an accessibility feature; in order to get it, you need to head into the settings menu and choose Assist Mode.

69. Plug Fuse
You need this shell to progress through the story when you find it to get into Scuttleport. It will be inside the pipe that was previously blocked by a tennis ball.
