jayscore Posted January 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I understand some ships have replaced the "fish and chips" with some sort of "Barbecue". Mind you, the loss of "F&C" doesn't bother me in the least. What I want to know is what is on the "barbecue" menu? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwglenn25 Posted January 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2017 the Magic had the bbq menu and everything on it was fantastic. Only downfall is that it was only open for a couple hours on sea days only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted January 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just of "Conquest" where I found the BBQ to be O.K., but IMO, very dry. I personally, prefer the fish-n-chips. Oh by the way, I NEVER in eight days, saw anybody paying extra for the seafood? Looks like a stupid decision to do away with the fish-n-chips to me? :rolleyes: "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downfall is that it was only open for a couple hours on sea days only Should also be opened on the day you get on the ship.

Rare crewsweeper Posted January 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Vista also has the Seafood Shack. Which has great lobster rolls ($, not included in cruise fare). But I found the Pig and Anchor to be spotty. Brisket was very fatty, no char. Pork was flavorless, until sauces were added. Curious if these were even smoked or just cooked ion ovens and given a brush through with smoke or smoke flavorings. Andouille sausage was so-so; better bangers in the Lido buffet in the mornings. DW like the chicken thighs. Sides were okay but not stellar. Bun was greasy buttered bun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabaster Cruiser Posted January 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Conquest baroque was very good. Enjoyed the coleslaw also. Much better than the Capt. D's fish and chips. Sent from my VK700 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearose Posted January 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Does anyone know if the Freedom still has the Fish and Chips? I was looking forward to that come October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raxter54 Posted January 25, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Does anyone know if the Freedom still has the Fish and Chips? I was looking forward to that come October. It's been changed to bbq, but it's not the Pig & Anchor. And the Seafood Shack has been added Sent from my Galaxy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearose Posted January 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Well phooey. Looks like they charge extra for the Seafood Shack, so probably won't try it. It doesn't look like anything I would like going by the menu. Where was the BBQ? Was it every day or just sea days, and is it extra too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in TX Posted January 25, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2017 We were on the Conquest in November and had the new bbq that was upstairs where the fish & chips used to be. We got a plate with pulled pork, macaroni & cheese and beans just so that the 7 people at our table could sample it. Everyone thought it was pretty good. My husband did try the fish & chips from the Seafood Shack one day and thought that the old fish & chips that was free was much better. He said he wouldn't be paying for them again. The Seafood Shack was always busy and I heard that the lobster rolls were pretty good but we never tried them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cr2zCr8zy Posted January 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Love the pig and anchor and the seafood shack.

DW like the chicken thighs. Sides were okay but not stellar. Bun was greasy buttered bun. The Pig and Anchor was put on the Magic at it's last drydock in early 2016. It is associated with Guy Fieri, and they put actual wood smokers on the ship to make the meats. It was also put on the Vista, but it was not functional until they got to the U.S. It also has wood smokers for meat preparation. We tried it on the Magic last April and it is far better than the BBQ that is on other Dream Class ships. I believe it is scheduled to be put on other ships as they go into drydock through the next several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agree that Fish and chips have always been greasy. When I had them I just removed the breading and put the fish in a plan tortilla from Blue Iguana. Add the condiments for the salsa bar and Presto! Fish Taco with papas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HectorAchilleus Posted January 27, 2017 #23 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Splendor had the BBQ on deck 10. I used to really like the Fish and chips, but this was MUCH better. The pulled pork was my favorite, but I also enjoyed the Beef Brisket. Did not try the chicken. Greta choice of sauces too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
