Fried seafood is one of my guilty foods including fish & chips and fried shrimp. Living back in New England, there are plenty of independent seafood shacks which serve up fresh seafood dishes & items, but it can be pricey. Captain D's Seafood is a good place to go for fried & baked seafood at reasonable prices. This Captain D's in Seymour is an older looking fast food restaurant with drive thru offering a variety of seafood (mostly fried/breaded & battered) and chicken meals plus salads, sandwiches, sides, desserts (chocolate cake, cheesecake), Coke fountain drinks (self serve inside), and D's Sweet Tea. 3D Kids Meals also available here. There is ample self serve table and booth seating (red color) in the old school dining room. The prices here are pretty reasonable with meals starting at $4.99. This restaurant chain has similar menu offerings to other fast casual seafood restaurant chains including Long John Silver's and Arthur Treacher's. Before driving to Indianapolis, I stopped at Captain D's for lunch. I ordered The Sampler ($4.99 plus tax) which consisted of 1 pc of fried whitefish, 2 pc chicken tenders, 2 fried shrimp, 2 hush puppies and choice of 2 sides (I got fried okra and steamed broccoli). I was given a number to place on my table and a staff member arrived 5 minutes later with my hot lunch. The long piece of battered white fish was light and crisp on the outside (not too greasy) and very hot inside, as well as the soft breaded chicken tenders. The fried shrimp (2) were crispy. The hush puppies (2) balls were firm on the outside and not salty. The crab shell was filled with a soft seafood stuffing mixture. The breaded fried okra was standard, not too greasy. The broccoli was warm and soft. Overall, the food was pretty good, portion just right, and priced very reasonably, though nothing extravagant.
