The Nashville, Tennessee, USA-headquartered Captain D’s casual seafood restaurant chain is gearing up for Lent, when many Catholics and other Christians refrain from eating meat on Fridays and engage in acts of penance. During the March 6 to April 18 period, demand for fish rises appreciably among adherents to the religious faith.
“We are bringing delicious seafood options to our guests this Lenten season with our Giant Fish Sandwich and North Atlantic Lobster Rolls,” said Bindi Menon, vice president of national marketing. “What could be better than taking our signature batter-dipped fish made from wild caught whole fillets and creating a sandwich so big that you need both hands to eat it?”
The sandwich combines two pieces of fish, tartar sauce and lettuce on a warm, toasted bun. Also available are a pair of lobster rolls that are loaded with North Atlantic lobster chunks and lettuce. Both offerings will be sold individually and as a combo that includes a side dish and a drink. The promotion ends on April 28.
In addition to seafood sandwiches, guests may choose from a variety of seafood meals that include butterfly shrimp and stuffed crab with a choice of two side dishes and Captain D’s signature deep-fried hushpuppies. Customers who want a little more can choose from Southern-style white fish, a 20-piece plate of butterfly shrimp or an Ultimate Seafood Platter. Fried Oysters will be offered as an appetizer or add-on to any meal.
Founded in 1969, Captain D’s currently operates more than 530 restaurants in 22 states. The Sentinel Capital Partners business, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, ranks as the leading fast casual seafood restaurant in the United States and has been named the #1 seafood chain in the QSR 50. Many components featured on its value-priced menu are supplied to operators in frozen form.
