things i would like to know

How does Captain D's stay open? Who actually trusts a $3.99 coconut shrimp platter from a drive-thru window? Lobster?! at a fast-food joint? seriously?! i must admit, i'm a bit of a seafood snob, preferring a fresh catch to, say, Red Lobster in landlocked Gwinnett, but i would not dare turn down crab legs unless i was reasonably sure that they were flavored rubber [see: Captain D's]. And I have quite enjoyed Red Lobster. I did not enjoy my last Captain D's experience. I remember the fateful day, despite the fact that it must have been at least 10 years ago. Let's just say, even my 11-year-old self had enough sense to order fishsticks and eat mostly just fries and hushpuppies. Alas, who IS their target customer?

Your problem is you're going too fancy. Captain D's is a magical place, as long as you take it for what it is and play to its strengths - which are simple, fried things. How do you fuck up batter frying a common white fish fillet? You don't! And that's what you order when you go to Captain D's because it's glorious.
