Jaleo has lots of different seafood, not just fish.

The gambas al ajilo are butt kicking and a perfect tapa for newbies.
Move on to gambas al Zahara when ready for the next step.

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!

Morimoto Asia has exceptional sushi, other fish options are great.

I would think certain fish like the grouper would be freshest and most worth purchasing rather than say a salmon or cod or the like. FWIW I've eaten some of the best scallop dishes in Cape Cod but the Narcoossee's version is darn close.

It's interesting that you mention grouper. Is there anywhere at WDW to get good grouper? I remember the first time I had it (at Hilton Head), I couldn't believe how such an ugly fish produced such a great taste. Since then, I haven't found it anywhere except Hilton Head-not even at Cape Cod. Any chance of finding it at WDW?

I think it’s all in what you like/use to. Being from South Louisiana, seafood from Northeast is bland and tasteless in my opinion. Not only seafood being fresh is important but for us it’s how you season and prepare it. Just swing by New Orleans or Lafayette, La for the best of both freshness and taste lol!

Sea Shack has the best grouper. And I also loved Kenny Bs for grouper, just off Island. Poseidon had good grouper-we had it there 2 years ago, but last year they didn't have it. Hudson's also had it.

For us, Northerners, it’s important how we season our fresh seafood too but most of us like cool and warm spices

Does the Celebration Town Tavern take reservations?

not sure - I never have made reservations

Interesting perspective. My wife is from Lafayette before we got married ~27 years ago. She moved to Plymouth MA when that happened. She loves the seafood in both places. And so do I!

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.

I miss the Tavern! I lived in Celebration for a few years before I moved back here (Wild Elm Street).

I do like some spice with my food!!! I would definitely like to try some LA style!

@gmi3804 is right about the sourcing of fish at Disney. The Boathouse sources directly from a variety of locations. While Disney may or may not, the fish you get at Flying Fish comes from the same source that any of their other restaurants use.

Many people enjoy Flying Fish. I've always wanted to try them, but usually can't get a reservation at a time when we like to eat. We don't plan our trips too far in advance, so usually the available ADRs are around 9pm.

And now that I've read the rest of the thread... NOT a fan of Town Tavern. I really enjoy seafood and am happy that most places at Disney have some fish/shellfish on the menu but I was looking forward to going to a seafood place, where the majority of the menu is fish/shellfish. I had a combo plate and everything was just slightly overdone, and I felt their "fry" (breading) was too heavy.

They take what they call "preferred seating", which they explain as being seated ahead of people without "preferred seating" when you show up. I'm not sure if they would ever turn someone away completely, but they oddly do make sure to stress it is not a "reservation" (even though you pick a time for your "preferred seating")

All that said, it is a pretty big place. I have never had a problem getting a table, but also have never really gone during a prime dining time on a weekend or big holiday.

If lobster is your thing, I think they do a lobster special on Monday/Tuesday nights
