Since Long John Silver's fried fish is light and crispy, we wanted to do everything we could to replicate it. Grab a medium-sized bowl and mix together all the dry ingredients. Once they're well combined, grab a whisk and get ready to add the club soda. As soon as you start pouring it in, it will react with the dry mix, foaming up and creating large bubbles, so you'll want to stir as you go to prevent it from overflowing over the side of the bowl.
Gently mix until all the dry ingredients are moistened by the soda. Don't try to mix the batter until it's smooth — it's okay if there are a few clumps — because overmixing can make the batter heavy. Now that the batter is ready, it's time to start frying. Grab a piece of fish and dunk it into the batter. The batter should be fairly thick, and you'll need to turn the fish over a few times to get it fully coated. After you can see batter on all sides of the fish fillet, pluck it out of the bowl using your fingers and let the excess drain off.
Now, here comes the tricky part. You don't want to get your fingers close to the hot fryer oil because it can burn your hands badly if there is any splatter. If you're inexperienced at frying, we suggest grabbing a pair of tongs for this part. Dangle an inch or so of the battered fish into the hot oil, waving it back and forth. This starts frying the edge of the fish, inflating it with all those air bubbles we talked about earlier.
After about 30 seconds, gently drop the rest of the fish into the oil. The partially fried edge will help the fish float in the oil. Fry the fish for 3 to 5 minutes, until it's golden brown on all sides.
Depending on the size of your fryer, you may not be able to fit all the fish into the fryer at once. If you are frying in batches, make sure to let the oil come all the way back up to degrees Fahrenheit before adding the next batch of fish. When the fish is golden brown on all sides, it's almost ready to eat.
The only step that remains is to transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate. When the fish is finished cooking, it's coated in excessive amounts of oil from the fryer. The easiest way to blot off the extra oil is to let the fish drain for a minute or two on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle the fish with kosher salt to add a little extra seasoning to your Long John Silver's fish. If you need to fry a second batch of fish, we recommend swapping in a baking sheet lined with an oven-safe rack instead of the paper towels.
As the fish sit on a plate, the bottom of the breading can become a little soggy. Elevating the fish onto a rack is a great way to keep airflow underneath the fish, keeping it as crispy as possible. If you are frying multiple batches of fish, you can also hot-hold the fish in a degree Fahrenheit oven for up to ten minutes. We got really, really close on this one.
The fish inside was juicy and tender, and the batter outside was light, airy, and crispy — just like Long John Silver's. It had the perfect level of spice from the paprika and white pepper, and the garlic and onion powders gave it a savory finish.
Some of our tasters even thought our batter tasted better than the fast-food restaurant's and one said it reminded him of how Long John's was back in the day. The one place where Long John Silver's definitely had us was the shape.
It is the easiest choice for a condiment or sauce, simply because it provides zero calories, fat, or sodium and provides a boost of vitamin C. Lemon juice is also a smart choice because it doesn't change the taste of your food—it just gives it a little zing. The creamy garlic butter sauce has calories, 11g fat, 7g saturated fat, 1g carbohydrate, 0g protein, and mg sodium. Eleven grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat is fairly substantial when you consider that the serving size is just one ounce.
There are only three dessert options on the menu at Long John Silver's. When you look at calories alone, the chocolate chip cookie is the easy favorite as the best choice. But when you consider serving size and nutrients, the cheesecake makes a better selection—but only if you eat half. A chocolate chip cookie provides fewer calories, less fat, less sodium, and sugar than the cheesecake, but it is less than half the size. If you split the strawberry swirl cheesecake —coming in at calories, 8.
But if you want dessert all to yourself, opt for the cookie. The chocolate cream pie has calories, 17g fat, 10g saturated fat, 28g carbohydrate, mg sodium, 19g sugar, and 3g protein. Long John Silver's is not known for its sweet treats. If you're going to indulge, it's probably best to "spend" those calories on the food that the company is known for—fish and chips. Skipping dessert altogether may be the best option. Bottled water is not offered as an option, but you can generally get it from soda machines.
Fast food tends to be high in sodium and the hydrating benefits of water can help reduce the bloating that can accompany a salty meal. A small Silver's tea unsweetened has 0 calories, 0g fat, 0g carbohydrate, 0g sugar, 0g protein, and 23 mg sodium. If you are going to choose something other than water, this is your healthiest bet. Tropicana Fruit Punch or Twister Orange has about calories, 0g fat, g carbohydrate, mg sodium, g sugar, and 0g protein.
Both of them adds about as many calories to your meal as an extra battered piece of fish, but you don't get the benefit of any protein or healthy fats. If you really don't like water or unsweetened tea, consider a diet soda or a small size of a sweetened soda.
Long John Silver's menu is more limited than many fast-food restaurants and it does offer menu options for gluten-free, low-carb, low-FODMAP, diabetes-friendly, low-fat, and vegetarian diets, but does not have many options for low-sodium or vegan clients.
These menu items do not contain any gluten. Long John Silver's does not offer any certified gluten-free items, but the restaurant does provide an ingredients list on the website.
The list indicates items on its menu that contain gluten and wheat. If you are sensitive to gluten or have Celiac disease, review this nutrition information carefully before you order. Even items that you might expect to be gluten-free such as broccoli cheese soup or clam chowder are listed as containing wheat as an ingredient.
Keep in mind that just because an item contains no gluten or wheat doesn't mean that it isn't subject to cross-contamination. The batter used to coat the fish contains wheat flour, so foods that are prepared nearby or with shared utensils may also contain wheat. Speak to the staff at your local Long John Silver's to see if there are any foods that may be safe for you to consume if you follow a gluten-free diet. For the healthiest option, choose the baked cod and a side of green beans to create a full meal.
If you follow a low-carb diet, the grilled or baked seafood items will be the best choices for your meal.
But you'll have to order the grilled shrimp or grilled salmon without the rice or tortilla. Also, be mindful of the sauces you choose.
Some are sweetened and contain added sugars. Lemon juice is your best bet. Cocktail sauce, marinara, sweet and zesty Asian sauce, and sweet and sour sauce will add between 4 and 12 grams of carbs to your meal. At Long John Silver's your options may be limited. Consider the baked or grilled fish, instead. But the Long John Silver's will be Gillette's only fast-food restaurant that will serve beer.
