Disney4me Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 There are some pretty serious debates about where in Walt Disney World you’ll find the best fish and chips. Today, we thought we’d throw a little fuel on that fire by taking a closer look at some of our favorites.Yorkshire County Fish ShopMention that you’re visiting Walt Disney World and you’re hankering for this traditional British fare, and it’s a sure bet that somebody’s gonna have an opinion. And chances are good that you’ll be told to make a beeline for the UK Pavilion in Epcot.When you get there, you’ll find two different spots that offer fish and chips. We’ll take a look at Yorkshire County Fish Shop first.Located just before you cross the bridge into France, Yorkshire is a walk-up window where they keep it simple: you can order fish and chips, a cookie, or your choice of a few beverages.Yorkshire County Fish ShopAnd thank goodness for simplicity, because even with it, the lines here can get loooooooonnng. But there’s a really good reason for that…the fish and chips are pretty great.Fish and Chips from Yorkshire County Fish ShopBecause this spot is so busy, the fish is usually pretty fresh. The crunchy batter isn’t too greasy or heavy, and the chips really are more chip-py than french fry-like.Cross-section of fishAnd since it’s counter service, you can score delicious, filling food with no advance dining reservation. We also hear from lots of you that a stop at Yorkshire is a WDW ritual worth keeping during every visit!BUT — seating can be hard to find on busy days. We’ve enjoyed our Yorkshire fish and chips sitting on a curb or while standing a time or two.Rose and Crown Pub and Dining RoomAnd that brings us to the next contender: Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room right next door.Whether you’re just after a pint or you’re looking to enjoy a meal, this traditional British pub is an extremely popular stop. If you’d like to dine here, we strongly recommend you book an advance dining reservation.Outside of the Rose and CrownAt Rose and Crown, you can order fish and chips off of the pub menu, or you can order them in the restaurant as well. Size and price vary depending on where you’re enjoying your fix. But having them served at a table service restaurant means that you have more choices. With a menu that includes other fish and chip shop standards, like mushy peas, you can round out the meal a bit.Fish and Chips from Rose and Crown Pub and Dining RoomSeating choices include comfy a/c inside, or gorgeous views of World Showcase Lagoon on the patio.Cookes of DublinBut then, there’s the relatively new kid on the block who has brought some serious fish and chips game. Yep, we’re heading to Downtown Disney for a trip to Cookes of Dublin.Cookes of Dublin Mirror SignThis counter service spot, located right around the corner from Raglan Road Irish Pub, offers a far more extensive menu than Yorkshire. With a wide array of savory pies, plus several other fried offerings, this could be the answer to satisfying everyone in your party — even if there’s a non fish and chips lover among you.Cookes prides itself on fresh ingredients and old family recipes.Fish and Chips from Cookes of DublinWe quite agree that the fish and chips here are some of the best we’ve had outside of the UK.Gluten Free Fish and Chips at Raglan Road Irish PubBut what if you follow a gluten free diet? Are your fish and chips dreams dashed for all time?They don’t have to be. Because neighboring Raglan Road Irish Pub offers not only customary fish and chips, but a gluten-free version as well.Gluten Free Fish, Pictured with Skinny Chips Substituted for Regular ChipsWe’ve tasted them side-by-side, and there’s absolutely nothing missing from the GF experience in terms of flavor or texture. Of course, you can also get the customary recipe, too.Fish and Chips at Raglan RoadBut how awesome is it to know that everyone can have their fish and eat it, too??Columbia Harbour HouseOur final stop on our quest for the best fish and chips takes us to Columbia Harbour House at Magic Kingdom.Known for offering some interesting counter service options, the restaurant, which straddles Liberty Square and Fantasyland, is another spot that ranks highly on the “must visit every trip” list!Columbia Harbour HouseTechnically, they don’t call it “fish and chips” here, but rather the Battered Fish Plate. I suppose that’s more accurate, since the potatoes are definitely more french fry like, and less chip-py.Either way, the fish here is tasty. But if you’re looking to change it up a little, you can get a combo of fish and the world’s best Chicken Nuggets!Fish and Chicken Combo at Columbia Harbour HouseThat fact alone makes Columbia Harbour House a major contender in this battle.And for even more great seafood recommendations, be sure to check out our DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining!
