Long John Silver’s Menu Prices at a Glance
Jim Patterson opened the first Long John Silver’s in Lexington, Kentucky in August 1969, and it grew into the biggest seafood chain in fast food. The batter dipped fish, the round hushpuppies and the little crunchy bits of fried batter called Crumblies are still what most people come for. Today the chain is based in Louisville and runs about 374 restaurants in 25 states.
