7 fish dinner on christmas eve

[aarmando20]

Does anyone know if there are any restaurants that offer the traditional Italian 7 fish dinner on Christmas Eve?

No. I think that's sort of a region-specific tradition, I grew up on Long Island with all Christmas meals being cooked by my Italian immigrant grandmother, and I never heard of the 7 fishes dinner until I moved to the Philadelphia area.

You can try googling "seven fishes" and "orlando". There may be some off-property places that offer it.

There are many italian families that do the 7 fish thing. at least here in northern jersey

Where? At WDW? In the parks, in the resort? In Orlando specifically? All that to say, not that I know of.

I know Mario Battalli did a version of it in his NYC restaurant this past Christmas, but since it is not a universally traditional meal it's not something you are going to find at WDW.

Orlando doesn't do a good job of any type of ethnic food, since the restaurants are more concerned with feeding tourists, so you are going to find anyone of Battalli's caliber here.

At WDW you could probably assemble one at Bluezoo at the Dolphin, but it would likely cost you quite a lot and if you're looking to use the Disney dining plan, you can't use it there.

Never heard of any of the Disney restaurants offering this.

this is a question that made me smile because we are an Itlalian family that loves the tradition of the 7 fishes...no where in Disney does this...but maybe you can do the buffet at Cape May Cafe for some seafood choices or Tutto Italia for a couple of traditional fish choices but not all seven.

Another Italian, but I hate fish, LOL! I haven't heard of any either. That would be something cool for Tutto to do!

Oh Man! I was sooo hoping that this was done somewhere in Disney!! I am 100% italian and Christmas Eve without the 7 fishes just wouldnt be the same!!

Another Italian from Long Island here and couldn't imagine life without the traditional 7 fishes for Christmas eve (although I think we're past 12 at this point). I was so interested in this post.

What about the Cape May Buffet? Do they even still have it? Am I saying the right name. I remember there was a seafood buffet - would that at least get you through the traditional Christmas eve.

Cape May cafe has 5 fish I believe 2 short.
