I have never seen a fish place that did not also sell chicken. Many have a surf and turf plate. Changing the logo is stupid.

Brilliant move. Everybody associates the character of Long John Silver with chicken farms, never with the ocean.
To: DFG
You associate a pirate with fish, not chicken.
To: DFG
Stupid. You can get chicken anywhere. That said, Culver’s cod is better than anything you can get at Long John Silver’s.

“Chicken Planks” always struck me as the most bizarre name.
Who doesn’t automatically associate easy-to-eat chicken entree’s with gruesome pirate executions?
(note to self: check to see where caterers got the mushroom hors d’oeuvres they served at the marketing meeting)

"Might as well just add roast beef and cover all the bases." Early Spanish explorers to the New World were of course Catholic and scrupulously observed Lenten dietary rules.
They became particularly fond of manatee, described in some logs as, "the fish that tastes like beef."

Also known as “sea cows”?

If I'm not mistaken that's the origin of the name...vacas de mar.

Does anyone know why?
“Chicken” and whatever fillers they put in it is cheaper.

They might even throw the name overboard, if more people start reading the original Treasure Island

To be fair, they never served seafood.

“One roast manatee, please!”
“Certainly. Will that be a small, medium or huge manatee?”
