What do you think about Captain D's?

[Rob43]

Hi, I just love fish and cann't keep away from Captain D's. My doctor wants me to stay away from deep fried foods if I can. What do you think about this restaurant?

Thanks, Rob

Hi Rob, I love Captain D's, too. My husband hates it, so since he is the driver in the family, we seldom go there. I allow myself one fast food meal a month, and even then I am careful about what I eat....no fries, etc. When I do get to eat at Captain D's, I order a 2 piece with slaw and green beans. The hushpuppies are a problem, but the dog likes them. ;)

If I was trying to lose weight or trying to lower my triglycerides, I'd avoid it like the plague.

High Rob,

I quit going to Captain D's about 12 years ago when I found a small screw in the batter. I bit down on it pretty hard and luckily did not break a tooth.

Hi Rob43:
Looks like there are several TN folks on this forum.

As for Capt. D's....I haven't had fried fish since my diagnosis (Aug 06) but know what you mean about the food...it's hard to give up something you love.

Maybe you could try doing your fish at home with Shake-N-Bake (7 carbs/serving of the regular breading). Wouldn't be quite the same, but might take the edge off.

My fav fast food are Krystals...yet only 1 is over a serving of carbs...and who can eat only 1 Krystal?!

There's an excellent website, dietfacts.com, that gives most of the chain restaurants nutritional value, including carbs, calories, fiber, etc. It really helps in determining what the best choices are at each place. It also keeps me away from some places, as it's just not worth the anxiety I feel just before I take my readings after eating something like that. Good luck!

Personally I don't trust any meat that didn't originally have legs anyway.

Well most think legged creatures evolved from fish anyway.

It's called Fish & Chips around here.
I think I'll splurge on some soon. We have some very nasty, I mean tasty establishments around here :thumbsup: After all this is seafood country. Nothing national in nature tho.

I've never been to a Capt. D's...and I can only find one Long John Silvers up here, unless I'm totally oblivious to any others out there.

Personally, I like to prepare all my own seafood at home.(it's what I'm making for dinner Christmas day)...although not fish, but calamari w/ pasta and then lobster and alaskan king crab legs(thanks to my FIL!)...oh yeah, and scallops and mussels :) YUM :) Memories of my other Nana's Christmas dinners!
No turkey this Christmas...and Eri (and me included) can't eat ham(stupid reflux!)

[Cyborg]

Can I come for dinner? :biggrin:

Hi, This is weird because I can eat Captain D's fish and the smell of the oil that the fish is fried in bleeds out of my skin when I sweat for some reason. There oil has a funny smell. Why does this happen?

Thanks, Rob

:rofl: You may want to ask Captain D's!

[am1977]

I haven't heard of Captain D's either, but I rarely if ever eat fried food like that... it's not the healthiest choice.

[grace girl]

I loved it as a kid...now I think it's too greasy, too salty and just plain nasty.

[Eri's mom]

Always open seats at my house for dinner :)(although w/ seafood, you have to be fast b/c my kids can finish it off quick!).

...as for the ham, same w/ me w/ the bloat and the nausea(or vomitting when the gp was REALLY bad)...Eri gets sick quickly as well(and ham was her favorite!)

[Funnygrl]

I've never heard of Captain D's.

And interestingly enough, I have severe reflux and do fine with ham.
