Why Long John Silver's Is a Seafood Classic

When you travel, it's nice to stop off somewhere for a quick bite to eat. However, fast food has become increasingly unappetizing. Kentucky Fried Fish or Long John Chicken are two that I have a soft spot for. Well, several soft spots and not just because Long John Silver's got me out of the hospital when I was a kid.

The sad thing is more and more Long John Silver's are setting sail over the horizon and falling off our flat earth. While I'm not a fan of hybrid restaurants, I think they could do better to draw in more foodies. For instance, take the batter from Long John Silver's and infuse it with KFC's 11 herbs and spices. Take a couple of fish planks and cover them in mashed potatoes and gravy for a nice Irish fisherman's pie. The possibilities are endless!
