Does anybody have, or know anybody who has the ability to open a franchise up?
I miss LJS's. I think it's better than Captain D's.
Does anybody know of a"batter dip'ed" fish restaurant in this area that has great batterdip'ed fish, and shrimp, at a good price?
I know it's not good for you, I will eat in moderation!
So much for seafood lover's suggestions....
Umm, the yellow pages or googling seafood restaurants should help.

I don't think many "seafood lovers" go to Long John Silver's.

Isn't Arthur Treacher's still headquartered in Jacksonville?
The closest Long John Silvers is in Gainsville. There are Captain D's all over the place.

If you are looking for fish and chips you need to look elsewhere to find the good ones. Price will be more but most any of the Irish Pubs have good fish and chips. I hear the food and entertainment at 'Culhanes is good.

Shannons is usually good.

Do a web search and you find words like diaster, rent due, and other not in business articles on Arthur Treacher's Jacksonville activities. You can find them in Ohio and New York.
LJS brings back fond childhood memories. I remember it smelled so good and the kids meals were in paper sea chests, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I'm not a fan of Capt D's or Long John Silver's but it seems odd Jacksonville is the only city in Florida without one. Does anyone know why?
Jacksonville does seem to have alot of locally based seafood chains (St. John's, Cedar River, Crystal River, Sam's, Gene's).
^ I'd much rather have those local chains instead of a LJS.
A good "deep fried seafood" spot is Sharky's on US1 just south of 312 in St. Augustine. They have fantastic beer battered shrimp and great broiled fish as well.

When I was a kid, I missed fish & chips from Arthur Treacher's. I was too young. They had one at Arlington Rd, and Rogero Rd. (Next to the Carroll's Meat Market) , and yes (across the street form Long John Silvers!)
Are they still in business?
If so, where?
REEDNAVY, will you google it for me?
I like St. Johns, and Gene's, and Jax Beach Seafood. I wanted a fast food version of Long John Silver's, and if there is one, I want to know!

QuoteI wanted a fast food version of Long John Silver's, and if there is one, I want to know!
I always considered Long Johns to be fast food. Anything with a drive thru is fast food to me.
Unless you are paying for fillet's that are deep fried, your getting minced fish and uh, well, fish parts. Do you have ANY idea where the "meat" from crab cakes comes from? After the premium crab meat is scooped from the shell, and the claws tossed into a freezer, all of the crab guts and shell go into a food processor... the other end of this machine is your basic "crab cake meat". The minced fish, same thing, bone, shell, and god knows what go into the processor and come out as LJS deep fried, or Captain D's. Anyone remember the recent lobster promos on TV? "Real lobster" for under $5 bucks!"
You may now walk to the stern of the ship and spew!

Used to be one in the avenues mall food court years ago, and there was one off main street MANY years ago, but I don't believe they are in the southeast anymore.
Main Street location was Springfield/ North Springfield,
also there was one on University Blvd. (West).
My post from page 1....

Jason, can you run clockwise? If not, you should be driving a NASCAR. The way you take sharp lefts, you would be hard to beat on an oval track.

Is Long John Silvers that much better than Captain Ds?
Yes!
Real British Fish n Chips...Real whiting (or whitefish cod,haddock.etc) And potato wedges Both fried in the same oil,Sprinkled with Malt vinegar,wrapped in newspaper, and likely served to you by an OLD family business.
Can't be beat by some Americanized Processed SYSCO or corporate chain. Sigh..why can't some old Limey couple open a take away (out) in some empty strip mall space.
Yes it's greasy, but how do you think they can drink so much? ;D

While not old my other half is English and we have considered it.
This is making me crave fish n chips!
King's Head Pub, St. Augustine, on Philips Hwy, on the left - from the Aves it'll take you 30 minutes. They have malt vinegar, et al, although I've never tried their fish and chips - had other delicious items, though. The absolute best battered fish I've ever had is every Friday night at Cracker Barrel...you can get cod or haddock, but we like the haddock - (nice, thick pieces) with steak fries and slaw will get to your table the quickest- and they have malt vinegar, if you ask. The Cap'n D's the closest to Christ the King Catholic Church is best on Friday nights during Lent (seriously, Lent!) when they have tons of customers. The food is actually fresh and hot then. (but Lent is only 40 days and there are only 8 Friday nights when this happens....)
Maybe Long John Silvers will be built at the NE quadrant of I95, and IGP. I do not want another Wendy's!
mmmmm Long John Silvers is the BEST, there used to be one off of 95 in Georgia and YES we would drive up there to get some (best hushpuppies too!), sadly it is now closed.
Why do people get that crap when you can get the real thing here? It is so much better and bigger portions.
So predictable!

It's more crispy than Captain D's
Where do you get that good taste, w/ bigger portions @ a fair price?
BUMP IT BABY!!!

OMG, the troll strikes again!
Yeah, I haven't had either of them in over 5 years.
I'd rather go to St Johns, JL Trent's, or any other local establishment before dropping a dime on a national chain with over fried crap. I like better service, quality, and portion sizes, and I do not find it in a styrofoam box.
But LJS does not serve in styrofoam boxes, good old cardboard baby!
I went to St. Johns once and it was OK, and I mean OK. Maybe because I paid three times as much for a piece of fish.

Main Street location was Springfield/ North Springfield,
also there was one on University Blvd. (West).
I can barely remember as I was very young (maybe like 6 or 7) But there was one one Norwood across from Gateway and there was one in arlington at arlington rd/Rogero. I believe the buildings in both locations are still there and being used other companies. The close down some long years back.

pretend like its being said with a southern accent
but yes Clarks is slightly more expensive then LJS
but if it is a random craving for good seafood. Worth it. I go to Clark's weekly lol
LJS Fish and chicken meal with a boat of crums. yummy!!
They are advertising locally.
Does that mean they are coming to NE Florida?
Macy's was advertising too. Where is Macy's?
Closest Macy's I know of is Orlando
3 in Orlando

ORLY?!
Cool daytona is much closer for corp wear cloths ;D
Can somebody pull some strings, and bring LJS's back to Northeast Florida?
Duval, and/or St. Johns.
Starke has a LJS.
I've been all over the net for the past 2 years trying to find out why they left and why they've not come back.
While I prefer fresh fish, sometimes the quick and cheap fish will do just fine and LJS fit that bill while still tasting good. Captain D's is just nasty.
maybe you can convince The Landing to open a LJS.....
What's the fast food fish restaurant on lane and normandy?
Captain D's
How long till these restaurants take a page out of KFC's playbook and do an all fish sandwich with no bread? Yuk
what? no batter and grease? get real!

Need someone willing to go franchise with it. Corporate doesn't operate in Florida.
Never seen a food court style LJS, though I suppose it could be done.
The Gainesville Ale House on Archer Rd. has a Fish and Chips special on Friday that is really, really good. I'm not sure if the one on San Jose has the same special or not.
Come down to the Daytona Beach area and try the Down Under and my favorite...The Brig on International Speedway near Salty Dog's Surf Shop and the Tir Na Nog Pub..The Brig has some of the best fish (and chips) but it's not really on the menu, just ask for it...
Quote from: fsujax on May 21, 2010, 02:03:56 PM
Captain D's
Cap D's has more batter, that is soggy. The fish under the soggy batter is smaller too.
LJS's is crispier, and tastier.
Does BSC own a long john silvers, perhaps?

Small world, the guy who owned the company is a semi-retired attorney who lives at the beaches now. He was my contracts professor in law school, name of James Cataland. Hilarious gent.
I think there were Arther Treacher's at University Blvd. and out on Main Street.
Malt vinegar, anyone?
I remember going to Arthur Treacher's at The Avenues Mall. I also used to visit Long John Silver's on U.S. 17 in Orange Park...
Is there any LJS around here anymore? The one up by the GA border off 95 is closed now :-(

No, closest is Gainesville.
Oh Brother's had pretty good fish and chips and malt vinegar when we were there for one of the World Cup games. Need to try them again.
Please come back to Duval, and Saint John's County Long John Silvers..
Crispy fried fish, not greasy!
It's not LJS or Captain D's, but I can't believe we're this far in without a mention of Safe Harbor Seafood (http://www.safeharborseafood.com/). Good conch fritters and also a really great seafood market. It gets BUSY.
Bad news for North Florida LJS lovers, the Gainesville locale on Newberry Rd has closed. It was torn down to make way for a future Panda Express (building from the ground up on site). I thought that I was going crazy trying to find it before my VA checkup at the Hospital. Now the closest one to Jax is in Ocala.

Thanks for the news I have gone to that LJS for years when I was in Gainesville. :(
We live on the ocean and a major river. Fresh seafood is caught daily and served in a number of local spots for an affordable price. I won't lose any sleep.
I love the local seafood we are blessed with. And I enjoy going to several different restaurants to get it. Or bring to home fresh from a local seafood market to cook it at home. But I grew up on Long John Silvers and I loved the beer battered fish the most. I just find it sad that a lot of the fast food restaurants I once loved are gone. :(
But you may live longer without all that fast food, If I Loved You. (Or will it "just seem longer?" :-) )
