Way different markets. It's like having Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and McDonald's on the same beef list together.
The York (PA) area here had 3 Long John Silvers, all next to 3 KFCs, but they’ve disappeared. Did the chain scale back nationally? Anyone know what might have happened?
All good and well but worthless info for the majority of us.
I used to like Long John Silver’s but the one in my college town shut down.
Can I still find an Arthur Treacher’s?
Who's regulating the Seafood Supply System?
We buy fresh caught cod and cook it ourselves. Cheaper and better for the pocketbook.
I skimmed the article. No thanks. Some of these places apparently use farmed fish.
When I have a fish supper it is usually one that I have prepared using wild-caught American process fish. I do not trust most restaurants to sell me such.
Culver’s has pretty good fish. I think it’s the best thing on thier menu.
This is the bee, right? Because all these places are a joke if you’ve ever eaten fresh caught and properly prepared wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Yello fin tuna, salmon, walleye. Etc.
On east side of Seattle - Big Fish Grill! YUM YUM. Wild caught salmon. Oh so good!
Wherever you can get fresh walleye or halibut is the best place!
45 years ago I worked in Houston and had a friend who owned a shrimp boat. You’d be surprised at what comes up in the net besides shrimp. I got spoiled with home cooked fresh caught fish.
L didn’t even know Legal Seafood was a chain. I went to the one in Boston with BlackElk (RIP) after a Ralph Reed led Catholic Alliance conference. It was VERY good.
For true “fast food” seafood, Long John Silver has been bad for decades, being mostly cheap breeading and cheaper vegetable oil.
Captain D’s, which is based in the southeast, is a VERY good value in chain seafood.
In Connecticut, I used to like Royal Guard in Meriden, until some near east Asians bought it, and the quality nose-dived. Captain Seas’ in Wallingford is great fast food seafood, but the hot dogs are even better.
I never eat at CHAIN shops . Always seek a family run shop for my sushi , yakitori , or whatever here in Japan . Thankfully , many still exist .
Bonefish Grill sucks. McCormick & Schmick’s and Ocean Prime are excellent but you have to finance the price.
Bonefish is tops locally. Long John Silvers is still in biz? Not around here.
Like their ‘forefather’, Ivar in Seattle, they buy the cheapest cuts available [ usually one step above cat food ], spice them up, and sell for premium prices.
You’d have to work around or be in a cold storage facility to see what really goes on with fish products.
Guaranteed fresh seafood can be had directly from the fishermen - many online outlets - product is direct from boat, packed in leak proof boxes, dry iced, and flown to customer.
