    They’re just weird because so many fast food chains come & ho the go 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.

            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.
