"Seafood dinners run the gamut from fancy lobster to fish sticks, and luckily there are tons of restaurants around the U.S. to fulfill every budget and craving. Tasting Table reviewed and ranked 19 different seafood chain restaurants from worst to best, from fast food to fine dining. And the worst seafood chain not only failed to impress us with its fish meals, but also flopped completely in the side dish department."
"The fried fish was absolutely drowning in grease, the grilled fish was dried out and under-seasoned, and the chicken fingers were completely flavorless. Even more disappointing were the side dish options, which you could've pulled out of the frozen vegetable section of the grocery store. With options like steamed corn, broccoli, and green beans, Captain D's side dishes were some of the worst you can find at a chain restaurant."
"Customer reviews on TripAdvisor were quick to condemn Captain D's, with one warning potential visitors, "Save yourself and just go get some frozen food and microwave it. This has to be the worst, not even close to Long John Silvers." Considering Long John Silver's came second to last in our ranking, that's a scathing take. Other users complained about the quality and execution of the food as well as the dingy ambiance."
Captain D's placed last among a set of 19 seafood chain restaurants due to multiple food and side-dish failures. Fried fish was described as drowning in grease, while grilled fish was dried out and under-seasoned. Chicken fingers lacked flavor. Side dishes consisted largely of steamed corn, broccoli, and green beans that resembled frozen grocery options. The lobster bisque ranked low among fast-food soups. Customer reviews on TripAdvisor condemned the chain, calling it worse than competitors and criticizing food quality and dingy ambiance. Captain D's has nonetheless experienced recent sales resurgence and expansion efforts.
