It’s a dining term parody. Turtles on the half shell is an appetizer.

Didn’t know that, I thought it was comparing them to oysters.

They only have a half shell. Look at clams, they are fully shelled.

Jews don't eat shellfish, and probably not turtles either.

I always thought it meant something like...

Since m&m’s have a shell around the chocolate, and it’s covering all of the candy, and turtles have a shell that covers only their backs/retractable appendages, then it’s “half” of a whole shell.

'on a half shell' is term of presentation, the shell being a tray or dish, as is the case of oysters or other seafoods.
