Looking for something new to hook onto at Long John Silver’s? While there isn’t an official secret menu, there are tons of different add-ons and combos you can try if you’re looking for a new catch of the day. No need to surf the internet anymore — in this article, we’ll dive into all the popular menu hacks. Keep reading for fin-tastic recommendations!

Steps

Wild Alaska Pollock Sandwich

Ask for Baja Sauce on your Wild Alaska Pollock Sandwich. The Wild Alaska Pollock Sandwich is a favorite among regulars, and normally comes topped with tartar sauce and pickles. For a spicier spin on the classic meal, try swapping out the tartar sauce for their Baja taco sauce. You can also substitute any sauce with Malt Vinegar or Cocktail Sauce. In hybrid locations that mash Long John Silvers with A&W or Taco Bell, you can also ask for Ketchup, Hot Sauce, Ranch, or Honey Mustard to add to your sandwich.

Grilled Shrimp Tacos

Skip the Baja Sauce to make your Grilled Shrimp Tacos health-friendly. If you like juicy, flavorful shrimp but would like a healthier alternative, go easy on the Baja sauce or skip it completely. If you’re craving extra veggies, you can also order a side of corn or green beans.

Grilled Salmon Meal

Ask for chili sauce on the side of your grilled salmon for a little extra kick. Long John Silver’s grilled salmon rice bowl and tacos are available in Baja, Southwest, Sweet Chili, or Seasoned flavors, so why can’t their grilled salmon meal? You’re in luck! You can ask for Sweet Chili sauce (or any other rice bowl sauce) on the side so you can make your meal extra spicy.

Fried Clams

Find out if the location serves fried clams. Some Long John Silver’s restaurants don’t serve the fried clams, so if you’re lucky enough to find one that does, try it out! If you’re craving a salty, savory appetizer, the fried clams might be for you. These delicious clam strips are breaded and fried to perfection, served with a side of tangy tartar sauce.

Extra Crumblies

Compliment your meal with extra Crumblies on the side. Whether you call them crumbs, crunchies, or crispies, these fried bits are Long John Silver’s best-kept secret. Crumblies are fried bits of batter that come with all of their fried food dishes, and the restaurant staff is trained to treat them like a free unofficial side item. Just ask for extra Crumblies the next time you order! Dip your chicken or fish in whatever dipping sauce you’d like and then dip it into your crumbs for a crispy crunchy bite every time.

Surf and Turf Sliders

Order a Fish and Chicken Meal with biscuits on the side. If you have a favorite combination Kentucky Fried Chicken-Long John Silver’s restaurant, Surf and Turf Sliders might be your new best friend. Just order the Fish and Chicken Meal from LJS and a side of biscuits from KFC to create melt-in-your-mouth sliders with a fun fishy twist.

Double-Battered Fish

Ask if your fish can be double-battered. Some Long John Silver’s regulars might not know that you can request any fried dish to be battered twice. Are you craving more crunch on your Alaska Pollock? You’re in luck! Just ask them to batter your fish (or any fried delicacy you want) a second time.

Grilled Shrimp and Battered Chicken Platter

Combine the Grilled Shrimp and Battered Chicken platters. If you want more variety in your Variety Platter, look no further! You can order a Grilled Shrimp and Salmon Variety Platter and ask them to swap out the salmon for crispy battered chicken. You can also ask for a Battered Fish & Chicken Variety Platter and switch the fish with delicious grilled shrimp.

Cinnamon Sugar Hushpuppies

Ask for your hushpuppies to be dusted with cinnamon sugar. While Long John Silver’s hushpuppies are delicious on their own, you can take them to the next level by asking for them to be rolled in cinnamon sugar. Not every Long John Silver’s will be able to make this request, but if you have a combo LJS-Taco Bell restaurant near you, prepare for an explosion of soft, cinnamon-y goodness. Long John Silver’s served Cinnapups for a limited time in 2018, but if you missed the hype, don’t worry! This hack is virtually a replica of the popular bite-sized treat.

Free Chicken or Fish on “Talk Like a Pirate Day”

Every landlubber who talks like a pirate can be rewarded with free food. Long John Silver’s embraces Talk Like a Pirate Day every September 19th. In 2022, they gave away a free piece of chicken or fish to anyone who spoke like a pirate when they ordered their meal. For anyone who went all out and dressed like a pirate too, they gave a free 2-piece basket of fish or chicken. Ahoy Matey!
