Salmon on the Kids Menus

[Suellen]

Anyone else find it odd that the fish WDW chooses to offer on the kids menu is Salmon???

Last year we were at Coral Reef and my DD's (18MOs and 3YO at the time) ordered the Fish of the day..... well we got it and you know it is kind of dark in there if you have eaten there.... I asked my mom "Is that salmon" she said "noooo ~ its the kids fish of the day ~ can't be salmon" she tasted it and yup..... really, really fishy tasting salmon.

They both ate every bit of it so that isn't a problem.... I just think it is such a strange fish to offer as a kids option.

I noticed it is on a lot of the kids menus.

Am I the only one that finds this a little strange?

Actually I would find it strange if they had any other kid of fish. Salmon is the most common fish to find and it was the first fish my daughters tried. It is inexpensive for restaurants to buy as well. My oldest loves salmon as it is the fish she probably has the most!

Hmmmm maybe it is a geographic thing. We live in Maine and Haddock is the most common thing around here ~ and usually what is offered on a kids menu.

WDW was my kids first time trying Salmon ~ like I said ~ they liked it fine.

Well, I guess I would have been surprised, but it makes sense.
My semi-funny salmon story is that, for some reason, when DD was about 2, she didn't like the sound of the word salmon, even though she liked the stuff. I took to calling it "salmon fish" and she ate it and liked it.

Suellen, sometimes I feel invisible here too.

I should change it to "Almost Always feel Invisible" LOL!

I don't know why it is.... but my posts and thoughts tend to be completely overlooked. Unless of course someone can somehow figure out a way to be offended by what I have said.

Kids are funny aren't they? Just change what you call something and they will eat it.

Any fish that smells or tastes "fishy" has turned and needs to be replaced.
