Best place to get seafood

[jjarman]

DS16 and I will be back in March, 2007 and I am the planner in the family. He is giving me very little direction on the trip but did say he wants to eat Mexican, Italian and some seafood. I have the Mexican and Italian places I want but can't seem to decide on a good seafood place. We love all kinds of seafood, fish, shrimp, scallops, if it swims we eat it. What is your best suggestion?

Coral Reef at Epcot. I really dont like seafood but my husband does and he absolutely loved it. He has eaten there on 2 trips so far. Great atmosphere too as one whole wall is an aquarium.

I really want to eat at this place but the comments and reviews have been so bad. Do you remember what you husband got? Is he picky? We aren't incredibly picky but we live in the south and are used to good seafood.

Anyone else have comments on Coral Reef?

After reading thru these boards for weeks, we decided on Flying Fish. The menu looks great, and from everything I've read, I think we picked a winner. I too thought about Coral Reef, but I don't trust anyplace that has received as many bad reviews as they have!!

I thought the Coral Reef was just average.

We love Fulton's and go there every trip.

Never been to Flying Fish.

I love Flying Fish - the potato wrapped snapper is delicious! Service is great, and the atmosphere is fun. We just ate there again last month.

We are also from the coast and we did not like Coral Reef. I thought Fulton's was good, but we are trying Flying Fish this trip. We ate at Spoodles last year and while we waited, I walked down to FF and the smells coming from that place were wonderful.

Jaymie, I'm gonna give the nod to the Flying Fish. It's upscale and really more of an "event" than a simple restaurant experience. And we also like Cape May Cafe, if you aren't adverse to buffet food (some folks are.) A lot of table service restaurants have a seafood option. Check some menus at www.allearsnet.com and see what's out there.

It's just kinda odd ... here's WDW, in central Florida, and sometimes seafood selections here are sorta spotty.

It's always a treat to see a fellow Mississippian around here. We're an elite bunch, y'know? And you can even find fried catfish at the Garden Grill!

From what I've read, Blue Zoo is the best of all, with Flying Fish a close second. Coral Reef isn't as good as Flying Fish, but it is actually very-well regarded, and almost surely the third-best seafood restaurant at WDW.

I wouldn't recommend Fultons or Cape May. Fultons is pretty mediocre, and Cape May is downright poor, when it comes to seafood quality.

Nice to see another Mississippi citizen. Where are you from? We are in Hattiesburg. Much storm damage? (A favorite topic for Mississippians)

We were in McComb up until about a year ago, but now we live in Brandon, right by the reservoir. But DD is a student at USM, but she's home for the summer. We go to Hattieburg a lot during the school year.

Storm damage? No electricity for a week, and a couple of trees and a section of fence down, and that was 150 miles inland! Our old house in McComb had a lot of roof damage. I KNOW y'all got clobbered.

Good luck with the seafood hunt. I've given you my calls ... I haven't eaten at BlueZoo, but it gets some high marks. Personally, I've not had anything at WDW that was any better than seafood at Crescent City Grill or Chesterfield's. The preparation might be fancier, but the taste isn't any better.

We ate at Blue Zoo a couple weeks ago, it was one of the better meals we've ever had at WDW in terms of food and service.

Haw! When I was in grad school in Fort Worth, Tex., there was a chain called Pancho's ... I don't even know if it's still around. Back then, the buffet was $3.95. As a friend of mine would say, "It's not very good, but you can have all you want!"

Small world. DB lives in Brandon, near the resevoir and his oldest daughter, my niece, goes to USM and is home for the summer. Not much damage. Got a new roof. No power for a week but only out of water for a couple of days. We live in the country but on a main power line so we got power back much sooner than a lot of people down here. Lost lots of trees.
