We didn't get to eat there ourselves last week when we were there, but a CM highly recommended Cape May at the Beach Club to us. Said a lot of CM's eat there. It's supposed to be buffet style, with seafood down one side and American fare down the other. I've definitely put it on my list for next time!

One place I would advise you NOT to go for seafood is the Coral Reef. This place was not at all what we were wanting and expecting. No fried shrimp to be had there....it's all foo-foo-ey french-style dishes...you know the kind....a HUGE platter for your dinner which is all in a big MOUND in the center of your plate. I ordered salmon, and it came piled on top of some GREEN mashed potatoes...and I mean GREEN, like spinach-green. Probably due to some herb or something. Then there were some diced carrots "sprinkled" over it all. Would be a nice place for a fancy-schmancy meal (read: romantic) with my husband, but not exactly a great place to take the whole family including our almost-2-year-old daughter.

If you mean jumbo fantail or butterfly fried shrimp--then probably nowhere. I did read that a restaurant in Celebration has fried shrimp. Nearest I ever saw at WDW were those "rock shrimp"--pretty tasty, but not to be confused with the real thing.

Cape May is not a seafood buffet, per se. It offers steamed clams, and mussels with garlic herb butter poured overtop (a new recent addition-the butter) steamed hot shrimp (peel and eat, used to be chilled and seasoned, but no longer) baked fish, usually salmon, but sometimes mahi mahi. Crab legs are extra and once in a while there are fried clam strips on the children's corner. They used to serve fried shrimp at this corner of the buffet, but no longer.

For fried shrimp you may have to venture off site to Straub's or some restaurant of that type.

I can't remember if they have fried shrimp, they probably do BUT I highly recommend the Cape May Seafood buffet at the Beach Club. I'm not big on buffets but this was excellent. Great selection whether you like seafood or not and fabulous desserts to boot.

We also like Flying Fish.

Sometimes the Cape May buffet has fried shrimp in the children's section. It is not restricted just for kids. Adults can eat from that side also!
