Long John Silvers

While were on the subject of fast food, I don't see how LJS makes it after another 10 years or so.

I eat there now and again. Everytime I do, I am the youngest guy in there by about 15 years. I suspect once the baby boomers pass on, LJS will go with it.

We had one in Granbury, Chik-fil-A built next to it and it shut down.

LJS has great fish.

I go for the hush puppies and the pirate hat.

I used to like their fried clams but they changed the batter a few years ago. I could ask this same question about waffle house.

and chicken, love me some fish with malt vinegar

I have been to LJS several times.

We used the same ad agency as them years ago. According to them LJS did 75 percent of their annual sales during lent. That always amazed me.

Worked at Captain D's for a week in High school, but transferred to McDonald's for the better company structure.

LJS

The Waffle House is greatness! Try the vomit bowl (hash brown bowl) and load it up with tabasco sauce.

I ate at one about a year ago for the first time in 8-10 years. It will probably be another 8-10 years before I do it again.

I love LJS as well. I just dont see how it survives after the baby boomers die off.

That **** ain't good for our body and the younger generation wont touch it.

Love me some square fish!

You need to go back to geometry class. It ain't nowhere near square.

The old's will keep LJS rock'in.

In the meantime the youngsters can continue to enjoy.......

I used to eat at Long Johns once a week for years. Always stopped at the one in Florida City on way back from fishing Flamingo until it burned down and was never rebuilt. Now eat at LJS in Tyler on way back from Fork. I wouldn't drive anywhere to eat there but if its on the way, I'll stop.

"Jeez, doesn't anyone freakin' knock any more?"

Never!

Then and Now

I haven't eaten at one in about 10 years. I have eaten at a Captain D's, because I preferred them. It's been about 6 months, though.

Why did you have to go and do that?

Let's just go with the "then"

The Boss used to put that malt vinegar all over her fries. I knew as soon as I started the car, to roll down both windows for the drive home.

I'm here now

Where are the extra crunchies

Picked them while I was driving

If you are gonna do ljs right you get an extra cup of crunchies, cover all with Vinager, dip the fish in that tater like substance they serve then dip it in extra crunchies. That's how it's done.

A few years back I stopped at LJS never again.

You should get some sort of award for coming up with that.

I did, bp medicine and lipitor

You don't have much of a sense of humor do you?

Yes, I do. Apparently you dont :-).

I was “don’t seeing how” 25 years ago

I like LJS a few times a yr

I only eat at Captain D's and have to travel for it.

Malt vinegar ftw

Damn right I sill need to get down to your place

Capt D is about the same as LJS to me. Either one.

About 20 years ago I was visiting my dad in East Tennessee. He offered to take us out to eat some seafood. I was pumped ... let's go! He took us to LJS. At the time I was used to catching my own shrimp, crabs, and flounder and ate them routinely.


I was a bit disappointed.

My dad was from England, he slathered it all over everything, the smell throughout the house used to make my stomach churn. I like it now, in moderation

I’ve always thought the same about Luby’s. I’ve been the youngest in there for 53 years.

Haddock an chips with mushy peas

I'm gonna have to pass on the mushy peas

fries...

Looks good don't it

Real fries.

Mushy peas make it

prolonged island exposure syndrome (PIES)

Are the mushy peas just green peas or is it a relish or salsa type of thing?

Just green peas boiled down till they go mushy, great as they are or even with a sprinkle of salt and splash of vinegar on, really give you gas though!!

Served hot or cold? I like peas.

Served hot are best real easy to do at home and freeze good too, have a try you might like em

That place smells like Avon perfume.

Is that the one in Duncanville? Love me some green tomatoes.

I was there on Wednesday...they've done some freshening up on the inside and it no longer smells like that. Fish was great like it was a couple years back, and the cole slaw was the best I've had there. I had stopped going because the service and food just wasn't what it once was. It seems like they've gotten it back to normal.

Alright, so I am sitting in one now. I don't know what's more fd up, the crew or the customers.

There is a real live Forrest Gump talking to himself.

Good to hear. They needed to.

The opened up one these places near me about a year ago - Solid variety of good seafood at a reasonable price. The Catch is way better than Captain D's & LJS.

Opened a Catch near me in Arlington. Like it a lot and the best thing is they hired our bar tender away from the Chili's. Go there quite a bit. Hard to get a seat at the bar though.

All this fish food talk made me put a SeaPak Coconut shrimp in the oven.

Shuck Me in Southlake

And soon to be Hochatown Oklahoma

I still need to eat there and 407. might just do it in one round trip.
