Chicken and fish with no bones

[Montegut]

In perusing the menus, I'm seeing lots of chicken and fish dishes, and I'm wondering which dishes are served on the bone and off the bone.

For instance, pan seared airline chicken. Is that a boneless or bone in?

The halibut and the salmon, bone in or boneless?

Looking for a nice anniversary dinner, but I'm not familiar with many of the entrees at the "fancy" restaurants and hope to get some feedback from those of you who have eaten there.

I would prefer to have a filet of fish or chicken and not have to deal with bones.

Thanks for any help!

I've eaten at most of the signatures and can tell you that the fish is boneless. I don't believe any of them serve the fish whole.

Narcoosee's has an item on the menu:

Crispy Whole Snapper - Basmati Rice, Charred Green Beans, and Soy-Lime Vinaigrette $35

It is indeed a whole fish. There are bones.

Except for the dancing fish at bluezoo which is served whole and then they filet it tableside for you, I've never had fish served bone in at WDW and I eat fish primarily.

I cannot answer about the chicken.

Airline chicken is on the bone. It's rare to get boneless chicken because cooking it on the bone gives it flavor.

Thanks for the response on the fish. I figure rotisserie chicken will be on the bone, but was wondering about the pan seared airline chicken at Artist Point, and some of the other chicken dishes at some of the nicer table service restaurants.


Thanks for any feedback!

As others have said, most of the chicken dishes were on the bone, while most of the fish dishes were boneless.

However, fish bones do sometimes show up, so if you're ally adverse to bones, be aware of that. We were having lunch at the Brown Derby and the lady next to us ordered the salmon. Ours did not have any bones in it, but hers had one and she panicked. She sent it back to the kitchen and skipped the rest of her meal.

I've had the salmon at Wolfgang Pucks and found two bones in it.

What about the fish at Kouzzina? Is it boneless?

Kouzzina also serves a whole fish, eyes and all from pictures.
By definition, an Airline chicken contains bones.
I agree with PP, most chicken dishes are on the bone.

There's always nuggets & strips.

Kouzzina serves a whole fish. The server will debone it for you, but it is served as an entire fish. Kouzzina is also not a signature restaurant.

Most chicken selections at signature restaurants are not boneless.

Technically (in most legal circles if someone tries to sue a restaurant), it is a 'reasonable expectation' to find some small bones when eating a fish which has been fileted....as opposed to finding a paper clip, which would not be reasonable or expected in fish

So, yes you might find one or two small pin bones in a boneless fish dish

An airline chicken breast is a boneless chicken breast with the lower thigh bone still attached (a handle, if you will) it helps it keep its shape and retains more moisture....

The only bones I've found in fish at signatures are in the whole fish dishes. If it doesn't specify that it is a whole fish, then it's a filet without bones. As a pp pointed out, there may be a few bones, which is a reasonable expectation when eating fish, but the filet is designed to have few or none. I've eaten fish filets at the signatures quite a few times and never found any bones.

Chicken will usually have bones. I've had a breast cut at Citricos before, but it was very easy to deal with the bones - I didn't have to use my fingers, I was able to easily cut the meat off with the knife and fork.

You can always ask the server about whether things have bones and what they are. Don't feel embarrassed if you don't know what some of the terms and foods on the menus are. The servers will be glad to help explain things and won't make you feel dumb for asking.
