Captain D’s Launches Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish from Alaska

June 01, 2026 // Franchising.com // NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Captain D’s is announcing the rollout of its Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish from Alaska. Launching today across the country, the initiative reflects Captain D’s commitment to sourcing premium seafood that is responsibly sourced and served at an accessible price point.

The chain has offered seafood meals at family-friendly prices for decades. The new wild caught fish from Alaska is battered fresh daily in restaurants and will be featured in several of the brand’s most popular menu offerings, including its value-driven Full Meal Deals and signature platters.

“Our guests know Captain D’s for its great seafood, generous portions and incredible value. This launch reinforces all three,” said Phil Greifeld, CEO of Captain D’s. “By using only wild caught fish straight from the icy waters of Alaska for all of our hand battered fish items, we’re making a significant investment in quality while staying true to the approachable, satisfying dining experience families have counted on for decades.”

From Alaska to Your Plate

The rollout is part of an initiative focused on seafood quality and U.S.-based sourcing. The product uses pollock from natural ocean populations and involves Alaskan fishermen who fish responsibly and sustainably, with a supply partner such as Trident Seafoods that helps ensure consistency across restaurants nationwide, and cooks who prepare the hand-battered fish in-store daily, allowing guests to enjoy fish sourced from Alaska.

“At Captain D’s, sustainable sourcing matters,” said Janet Duckham, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Captain D’s. “Wild caught fish from Alaska is recognized around the world for its quality and sustainability. The fishermen adhere to rigorous standards. We’re proud to introduce our guests to this experience through a reliable supply chain built around trusted, U.S.-based partnerships and responsible sourcing practices.”

The company notes ongoing efforts to improve quality and respond to customer feedback. After months of consumer research and focus groups, the decision to invest in its wild caught fish from Alaska initiative was aligned with its longstanding commitment to quality and value.

The launch includes three $5.99 Full Meal Deals featuring Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish. This includes:

• Two-piece Fish and Fries Meal – Two pieces of Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish served with a choice of one classic side and two hush puppies.
• The Sampler – One piece of Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish, one chicken tender, three butterfly shrimp, a classic side of choice and two hush puppies.
