Best Seafood Restaurant?!

[KristinV02]

I am trying to figure out the best seafood restaurant at Disney. I feel like I have looked at every one that Disney offers but just cannot figure it out on my own! What is y'all's opinion? Having Lobster on the menu would be a huge bonus; however, I know that can be a rare to find on Disney property. I am open to all suggestions!

Thank you!!

Don't know about lobster, but the 2 best seafood restaurants at WDW are Blue Zoo and Flying Fish.

I guess Fultons would be a distant third.

Awww, we love our meals at Fulton's (I am a huge fan of crab legs, and their King Crab Legs are outstanding)....but to each their own I guess . With that said, I do have to agree with Flying Fish as one of the best (love the Red Snapper) however we haven't tried Blue Zoo...yet. We also really like Narcoossee's, I like the Surf N' Turf which is a filet and a lobster tail. I know they also serve whole lobsters too.

BlueZoo has more selection of whole fish than any restaurant on property. The menu also has a lobster option. Take notice, this lobster is prepared 'Chinese-style', but can also be requested butter poached. Lastly, the seafood focused menu is rivaled by none other at Disney.....unless you prefer the sushi @ Kimono's......Shula's also carries large (over 2lbs.) lobsters which can sell-out early.

Narcoossee's has a whole lobster available, the kitchen removes it from the shell before serving. You can ask for the shells if you enjoy picking...like my dad. And of all the silly things, the Fried Calamari served with Spicy Banana Peppers may be the best I've ever had. Still hungry? Lobster Mac'n'Cheese. Fireworks are optional.

Flying Fish - honestly, I have no complaints, but I have no great praise of their food either. BlueZoo is around the corner (kinda') and is a preference. And the big difference is I always seem to get seated towards the front of FF and people are coming and going the entire meal; BlueZoo is a more discrete Signature experience. But if I were staying on B'walk, FF is a good seafood choice.....unless you want a whole fish at Kouzinna.....

Inside the Parks - Coral Reef for lunch. Not only is the uniquely Disney room inside inside an aquarium, the seafood is more refined than the typical review suggesting otherwise.

Qwik Service - tuna or Lighthouse Sandwich (hummus) are winners at Columbia Harbor House in MK, but some of us indulge in the fried shrimp basket. Avoid lobster roll at CHH, but recently read a review touting selection at Boardwalk Bakery.

Honorable Mention - Grand Floridian Cafe - hamburger with lobster. Nuff' said.

This person knows what they are talking about.

I would maybe rate Flying Fish a little higher, but our last meal there was not good. Maybe the first real loser after 5 or 6 great meals there. But it was a real turn-off. Of course every place can have a bad night.

You all are so wonderful!! I absolutely love DisBoards!! We have decided to try Narcoossee's!! Thank you to each of you for offering your opinions! I appreciated it, and it made me super hungry!! Is it time for Disney, yet?!

My family is partial to Narcoossee's.....

Likely because it is a fine version of the New England-style seafood house familiar to many of us. The food may not be 'Wow', but the quality and quantity (value, if you will) is appropriate. Alas, since it was removed from the menu a year or so ago, I can no longer recommend what was my personal favorite - whole fish with an Asian sweet & sour sauce. Not very 'New Englandy', I suppose.

You can opt to try and dine during the fireworks. Servers will work with you. And you do not need a seat by the window; you will be offered the option to simply stand outside (and block much of the view of the people seated inside those same windows).

Other than maybe the Polynesian, the fireworks are better seen here than from Contemporary (I experimented last year).

Of course, from Grand Floridian (or Poly & Bay Lake), you can always just hop into Magic Kingdom.
