They’re just weird because so many fast food chains come & ho thego in the US, it’s hard to even keep track - but Long John Silvers; a shitty fish & chips place which is never busy, never seems to have any customers at all, somehow stays in business.
you must be going to different longs johns silvers than any of the ones i’ve been to. i haven’t been in years, but it’s really a “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me multiple times over the course of my childhood because my dad fell in love with you and THAT’S IT no more chances”
It’s the cracklins. Little crispy fried pieces of dough? Who doesn’t want those? Just ignore the offerings of frozen fish patties and go for the craving food.
The hush puppies, yes, absolutely. I don’t know many places that have the little fritters available by the tubload though. They’re what potato chips dream of being.
The available food is mostly things they can pop into the fryer: Think fish and chips, except you can also choose “planks” of chicken breast, or breaded shrimp, or little balls of seasoned dough called “hush puppies”.
My wife hates them, and they’re an occasional guilty pleasure for me.
It’s fast food that’s almost all fried sea food. And they’re like the cockroach of franchises, the few that are around tend to be in weird locations that have killed off everything but Long John’s.
They are not. The food is deep fried. The fish and chicken look and taste alike. You have to really pay attention to tell the difference. I really miss the local one. I would only eat there a few times a year but it was a nice option.
Yeah, it’s very low quality. When I lived there, I’d get recommended LJS because I’m British, and they wanted to get my opinion on their fish and chips.
They stopped talking about it after all the complaints. I don’t think I’ve ever finished a meal when I’ve given them chances, always ended up tossing most of it in the bin.
Americans don’t eat a lot of bseafood fast food or even in general. These are also not in every city like other chains so the locations are really far apart. They have a reputation of being a little sketchy/dirty. As others have mentioned you almost never see cars in the driver through or parking lots. With all that combined it’s hard to imagine how they stay in business.
As a non-American, I’m assuming it’s a shitty restaurant?

But their food is actually good, tho.

yeah but you can get better hush puppies almost anywhere (disclaimer: i’m southern)

the last LJS I went to the fish was sopping wet in oil and still it was cold and the fish was semi-raw
never again
I’m guessing that they didn’t cook it at the right temperature. They probably would have wanted you to let them know so they knew there was an issue.
“come & ho the the US”
How do you fick up that badly and not notice it?
lol
Eek. I have no idea. I’ll blame autocorrect.
