What Is Captain D’s New Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish?
Captain D’s new menu feature uses wild caught Alaskan pollock, battered fresh daily in each restaurant. The fish is sourced through supply partner Trident Seafoods and is part of a broader brand push toward U.S.-based, sustainably sourced ingredients.

The wild caught fish is included in several existing menu offerings:

Why Is Captain D’s Switching to Wild Caught Alaskan Pollock?
The move follows months of consumer and focus group research. Alaskan pollock is wild caught — meaning it grows and reproduces naturally in the ocean — and harvested by fishermen operating under strict sustainability standards. Captain D’s says the initiative reflects a long-standing commitment to quality while keeping menu prices accessible for families.
Where Are Captain D’s Restaurants Located?
Captain D’s operates more than 530 restaurants across 23 states and three countries, with its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. The chain has been in business since 1969 and has ranked #1 in the seafood category in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 for eight consecutive years.
