I'm thinking it was around around 2003 that I last gave them business.

No, but Long John Silver might give the business to you.

For how many years now have they been offering breading with no noticeable fish?
Since Cod went extinct. Must be a money laundering place now. |

The only one here is a combo Taco Bell/Long John Silver's. Last time I ate there I had the shits for three days. Never again.

I ate there once when I lived in the Pacific Beach neighborhood of San Diego in the 1970s. I saw no reason to go back.
It was a lot more fun buying McDonald's burgers when they were on sale and handing them out to meat-starved Hare Krishna kids. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Must be a money laundering place now. There are a few chain restaurants by me that get almost zero business from what I can tell. I think people who own places like this probably have a bunch of businesses or are very rich and use it as a write off. Any restaurants that are family owned have to be almost booming to stay in business it seems. |

Back in the 1980's, LJS was great! I even know of hard core foodies who lament the passing of that level of LJS. IDK what changed, but nothing there tastes the same any more. It's trash. |

The one in town has been closed for a while. Looks like the closest still open in NC is in Winston-Salem?
I always liked their food. It was a treat back in the 80s.

Not once in 10 years at least. The one here is (was) pretty bad. Still in business, though. Been in the same spot for 40 years or more.

cod collapse, and the species is currently considered vulnerable to extinction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_the_Atlantic_northwest_cod_fishery Atlantic AND Pacific closures. In an unprecedented response to historically low numbers of Pacific cod, the federal cod fishery in the Gulf of Alaska is closing for the 2020 season. The decision, announced Friday, came as little surprise, but it's the first time the fishery has closed due to concerns over low stock. It's not like we didn't see it coming, e.g. 1972: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_Wars The huge asian fishing factories the took everything off the bottom probably were the most devastating.  |

I actually like LJS.
The one in Sevierville on the Parkway is consistently the best one of any LJS that I have been to. I have noticed that the vast majority of their customer base is of social security age. I will say that as a corporation that their management policies are absolutely horrible and make me wonder how they are still in business. Many in the area have closed over the years but there are still a few of them left. The one in my town closed over 20 years ago. |

I have one down the street. I never see anyone there when I drive by. I don't know how they keep the doors open. Or the food fresh.
 I do like their chicken and fish planks. They are tasty. I just don't trust the food. Slow business = shortcuts and questionable food safety. |

Last time I needed to take the edge off a bad hangover, so probably 2003.
There was a Captain D’s for a very long time in a town north of Tulsa. I’m sure someone who lives there can correct me but I feel like it was open until probably 2018. It was right off the highway and I can’t recall ever seeing a car there. I grew up in that town and I never met a single person that ate there. I was always curious how it stayed in business. Is there still a Grandee’s in the Fort Worth Zoo? |

I agree they've changed in taste from earlier days. Not too many in my neck of the woods, so it's a moot point, IMO.
Captain D's seafood is rocking it in TN though. Good food. |

Watching them slather a frozen chunk of something in a bucket of batter before dropping it in the fryer is appetite killing
