Seafood restaurants

[buffettgirl]

can anyone recommend any good seafood restaurants in the general DL area? We will have a car.

I like King’s Fish House. There’s one nearby in Orange, CA maybe 10-15 min drive from DL. Although I have only been to that specific location once.

What style of seafood? There are some great Asian restaurants in Orange County. You can get seafood in Newport Beach, Huntington, etc. Joe's Crab Shack is a mile south of the parks on Harbor.

Fresh fish. No chains. Not sushi, but poke is fine. Mostly looking for Pacific Ocean fish- ahi, mahi mahi, opah etc. just your basic seafood, nice and fresh.

Try looking on Yelp.com -- the reviews should help you find what you want.

 

[buffettgirl]

Well yes, I understand how yelp works.

I think you misunderstood my post -- there are a lot of seafood restaurants in Orange County and not all of them are reputable or reliable. The most recent Yelp reviews will be very helpful when looking for someplace new to you. The last thing you want is to get sick on a DLR trip.

Which is why I was looking for something more current and personal than yelp.

Strangers here are more trustworthy than strangers on Yelp? I’m confused.

Weird attitude. Good luck in your search.

 

[buffettgirl]

Whatever. Because there ARE so many seafood restaurants and I found that out by already looking on yelp, I was hoping to narrow it down and maybe ask questions of people who have eaten. And I thank the one person who helpfully gave a suggestion.

But back to your reguarly scheduled menu of buzz lighhtyear posts and map obtaining.

Why not explain that, then? When you're asking a completely vague and general question, it's hard for people to give answers.

There's a Bubba Gumps at Garden walk but it's terrible unless you like totally over cooked shrimp with no taste and the consistancy of chicken.
Mimi's cafe has a few seafood dishes and although I have not had them, everything else I've had there was very good. It's also a nice cool break from the noise of the park.

Napa Rose will usually have 2 fresh fish options, which change often.

Napa rose, like much of the food at dL and WDW, seems highly overpriced. But it certainly looks yummy there.

I adore their diver scallop appetizer! Always cooked to perfection, we’ve taken to going to the NR lounge just for that dish and a wonderful glass of wine our last couple trips!

No problem. I know what you meant! And I stand by my suggestion!

Well yeah, it’s overpriced. There’s reasons for that. It’s on property, in the little bubble that Disneyland has. But I did have the best scallop I’ve ever had there, so there’s that.

One point of view to consider is that it might be possible that not many folks on Disboards go to seafood restaurants around DL. For example, our family has been to DL about 5 or 6 times. We always have a car, but we've never ended up venturing outside DL itself or the area around Harbor Blvd or Katella Ave. It's just how it's turned out. I would imagine that the Orange County area probably has a lot of good seafood restaurant options. I just have no idea what those would be.

When are you going? We are going to venture out for some seafood on March 10th while there. I would be more than happy to report back where we went and our thoughts if you are going after that date.

I love scallops. Thanks for the tip on the lounge. I’m snobby on scallops being from the northeast but I just love them.

I looked at the menu and it looks great ( and yelp agrees lol)
