Best seafood on property

[pkf4bucs]

I've done a search and didn't find anything and that's assuming I did it correctly. What are some of the top places for good seafood on property? Will be using the DDP and willing to use 2 credits for a great meal. I've got The Boathouse on the list but is there anything else?

Thanks!

Flying Fish at the Boardwalk resort or Narcoossee's at Grand Floridian are the two I would recommend.

No. They get their seafood from the same distribution center which supplies all WDW-owned restaurants. You may enjoy their preparations, but it's the same fish that Topolino's and California Grill (and Olivia's, Turf Club, Kona Cafe, et.al.) get, which you didn't mention, probably because you don't care for their preparations as much.

The BOATHOUSE sources its fish and shellfish from top purveyors around the country, hence the high prices. You get what you pay for, and not just the what-the-hell Disney "signature" mark-up. Theirs is the best quality, and this is not an opinion.

Let's all take a deep breath here and let's not begin to attack other people's opinions! I do not want to close this discussion.

Thanks!

I don't think seafood is really a specialty at Disney and wouldn't necessarily count on top notch seafood. But I do think you can find a decent meal at any of the above mentioned locations. I'm spoiled with good seafood being from Cape Cod and living in Boston.

It's nice you live in Boston and enjoy the freshest of seafood. In your case, you wouldn't care about fish or seafood in Florida.
But others of us are landlocked at home and love a good fish or seafood dish during our visit.
We can't wait to celebrate our anniversary at Flying Fish.

Agree, and that's why I said you can get decent seafood at Disney. Happy anniversary!

Don’t live in a landlocked city but do enjoy the fish and the way it’s prepared at Flying Fish and Boathouse. Narccoossee’s has fallen off the recommend list for me

Bluezoo over at the Dolphin is pretty good too though I have seen conflicting reports on its quality lately.

I've only eaten at Boathouse once and my server actually told me not to order the crab cake the minute he saw my Maryland ID LOL but it's a solid place for seafood.

Another vote for Flying Fish.

I'm originally from Plymouth MA, but now living near the parks for ~11 years. You're right about it being hard to find decent seafood here. The best we've had is Celebration Town Tavern.

Just out of curiosity, have you been to Celebration Town Tavern?

(It's a little offsite in Celebration but like OKW Lover, I am also a fan.)

Coming from NH where we have fresh seafood, no one in my family eats any at WDW now. Our family has tried O'Hana, Space220, Chef's de France that I can think of specifically and none were good. We've had issues with steak at O'Hana, Chef's and Le Cellier so equal opportunity for a very expensive, bad meal!

Hopefully someone has had better luck!

The Narcossee's redfish is my favorite piece of fish I've had at WDW in the last 5 years or so....including Flying Fish which I also love.

The Boathouse is my favorite for anything raw.

I don’t particularly care for the ambiance at Blue Zoo but every time I go, the food has been excellent. We went with a large group last year and everyone loved their meal.

Does the Celebration Town Tavern take reservations?

Yeah the vibe is kind of whatever but the food was good when I went. I have seen mixed reviews recently so unsure how it is now.

All terrible choices for steak. On property go to either Flying Fish or Jiko for steak. Slightly off property, Bull & Bear at the Waldorf Astoria in Bonnet Creek.

Thanks. We also like Steakhouse71 and Topolino's for filet mignon.

Vote for Boathouse. I like their tuna.

Ambience is good, especially if you sit out over the water and prices are decent. Narcoosees is overpriced in my opinion.
