I'm convinced LJS is Taco Bell for people who moved away from the coast. They know it's not sea food, but they crave it's badness for its own sake.
But taco bell is for when you want to see what new dorito thing they made in the past decade, or the bread taco hybrid (challappa) they have. LGS seems to have food that wasn't invented for gamers by someone that hasn't met a Mexican.
Here in the Midwest we even have some combined Long John Silver and Taco Bell restaurants. You can go through the drive-thru and order off of both menus. They've been slowly disappearing but for a while they were all over the place.
I’m from northern Connecticut and live in (southern, nowhere near any fished lakes) Germany. I tried seafood here a couple times when I first got here, but it’s just intolerably fishy for me, even in a taco bell sense.
Though I guess frying it does mask a lot of fishiness. And LJSs doesn’t try for the cachet of “never-frozen,” so it’s possible it’s actually fresher than what you get in a fancy inland restaurant…
I didn’t agree with you at first, but you might be on to something
