We’ve also ordered the Char Siu Pork and enjoyed it. If it had been just one fish this may not have been very filling but with two there was plenty here. One other little note on this dish is that they give you two fishes to eat instead of just one. My only complaint with the dish was that it could have used a vegetable of some kind alongside it. The sauce on the bottom was comparable to soy sauce but slightly sweeter.
The fry on the fish was pretty light and not greasy at all. Even the quills on the fish were edible and tasted somewhat like potato chips. It was easy to pull apart and get the juicy part of the fish without getting stuck with bones. Despite the somewhat jarring appearance, the fish was delicious. One of my favorite entrees on the menu is the Whole Fried Fish. That’s not to say they’re bad, just that it wouldn’t be my top choice among the offerings here. These weren’t nearly as good as the Cachapas as I didn’t love the filling, finding it a bit heavy and dense without a standout flavor. Shu Mai appetizer which is Pork, Shrimp, Edamame and Spices wrapped in Gyoza. The other ingredients helped tie everything together to make an excellent appetizer. The star of the dish is the pork, incredibly tender and juicy. The Corn Pancakes were soft, warm and rich with flavor. All of the ingredients complimented each other. These consist of Corn Pancakes with Beer-braised Pork, Corn, Salsa and Avocado Cream. The Orinoco Ida’s Cachapas are our favorite thing on the menu. We’ve tried several appetizers so we’ll start there. Moving on to the food, the menu is adventurous as I’ve already said. Neither were out-of-this-world good but I did enjoy them. I liked both drinks and would recommend them, especially if you are on the dining plan. It’s a mix of frozen apple juice and passion fruit with green apple boba in it. The bottom drink is the Schweitzer Slush. The top drink photo is the Punch Line Punch which tasted like a mango punch. It’s a nice little addition that furthers that story. In with these details are several nods to S.E.A., the secret (and make believe) society that Imagineers have created starting in DisneySea. There are plenty of details to enjoy – maps, books and pictures are scattered throughout these rooms. The other rooms in Skipper Canteen are a little more secluded than the main dining room. Not to mention, the restaurant is also beautiful and has a ton of personality. Skipper Canteen isn’t that place which means it’s fairly unique. There are plenty of places to go for those that want cheeseburgers, chicken strips, and fries. I think that’s part of the charm of Skipper Canteen though and makes the restaurant unique and endearing. From the amount of joking done by the wait staff (which shouldn’t bother anyone unless they were looking a romantic date night and came to the wrong place) and the fairly adventurous menu, this isn’t a typical theme park restaurant. Truthfully, I can see why Skipper Canteen has been a somewhat polarizing restaurant since it’s opening. Not that I’m complaining, the jokes were pretty funny and the waiter worked hard to make sure we were having a good time even if this wasn’t a typical dining experience. That didn’t stop once our waiter came to the table. On our way to be seated, the hostess wasn’t afraid to drop puns at a speed that would make the Gilmore Girls blush. With that in mind, it should be no surprise that there are visual gags and puns everywhere. The restaurant’s back story is that they serve the skippers who just finished giving their Jungle Cruise tours. There are several different dining areas and we were seated in the main dining room. The pastels match the South Pacific theme of Adventureland. Walking into Skipper Canteen, you are met with an array of colors that all compliment each other well. Skipper Canteen several times and this review will cover those experiences including photos, thoughts on several dishes and the restaurant’s value. Skipper Canteen counts as one credit if you are on the Disney Dining Plan and they also offer 20% off to those who have annual passes or Tables in Wonderland. Skipper Canteen serves a variety of different cuisine that is fairly exotic (at least for a theme park restaurant). This restaurant sits in Adventureland, across the way from the world-famous Jungle Cruise. Skipper Canteen is a table-service restaurant in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
