Great point

Don't you know according to the food snobs on this board, you have to eat at an original establishment for every meal and have a craft IPA with it.

Also any trendy place that's popular or visited by tourists is automatically shite.

Also if an owner decides to maximize profits and open a second location or God forbid multiple locations it's also then shite and inedible.

I have a confession, took a client to lunch today and let him pick and he picked outback. I got a small filet with grilled shrimp and veggies and I'll be damned it was great.

Simply not true, but Captain D's is complete shite. It's a worse representation of seafood than the McRib is of barbecue. Look at that picture. You can get better fried shrimp from a box of seapak in the frozen section at Walmart. Seriously, it's shite.

Entirely different ballgame from eating seafood that probably came from some infected farm in Asia. No thanks, you can shovel that into your mouth til your hearts content. God only knows where the fish came from. Do a little bit of research on Asian aquaculture and you may be singing a different tune.

If you are defending Captain D's in a market it better be some place like middle of nowhere Eastern Montana where I would think you are so far removed from a seafood producing body of water that it's all gonna be garbage. You are talking about Baton Rouge. You are so close to the coast that fresh seafood is always viable. That's like defending a Panda Express in China. In fact, you should get right on that.
