I had lunch today at a neighborhood fry shop. A huge portion of fries, topped with breaded fried scallops, onion rings and a side of cole slaw. If it’s going to kill me, it’s a great way to go. The plate was $14.99 and I’ll wager it’s a dozen times better than Long John Silver’s.
We only eat the hushpuppies from there. They’re fresh, anyway.
Flounder, tarTAR sauce from Red Lobster, cole slaw from Sea Island, baked tater from Bill Miller’s.
It’s not fresh caught, but it’ll do in a pinch.
I went to a LJS not to long ago, and was really amazed at just how salty the batter is now, but more to the point, I couldn't believe how greasy the fish and chicken were. I even tried blotting the fish and chicken 3 times, using fresh napkins, and they would be soaked with oil.
I felt really queasy after eating it from all the grease. I won't be going back.

First time I ever hear of these jack-off they were waring of the dangers of beef chimichangas. How many beef chimichangas can one eat as a habit in the course of living, to cause a problem?
As far as Long Dong Silver’s goes their food is marginal at best and if the grease makes it taste better then it can use all the help it can get.
To this bunch at the “center for science to be a pain in the ass”, screw you.
this stuff is so good. It wont kill you as long as you eat it once in a blue moon.
Popeye’s used to have catfish — YUM YUM eat em up.
Fried in soy or canola oil, and guaranteed to contain no food whatsoever.
I love LJ’s chicken planks - I could eat a dozen of them in one sitting. They are, however, loaded with a TON of salt. Surely not the best thing to eat healthwise.
There is a local restraunt chain from my home town of Tucson, AZ called The Lucky Wishbone. They can outdo anyone on the planet for greasy food! LJS cannot even begin to come close!
About once a year I crave the fried food at Silver’s. The rest of the time the oily food has no allure.
So there go half my day’s Weight Watchers points. That’s ok, it was worth it.
