This fast-food chain is one of the few spots that specialize in seafood, serving up fried and grilled entrees and great sides for over five decades—and even though there’s no official Long John Silver’s secret menu, you can still get creative with your order with sauces and toppings.

Although no true Long John Silver’s secret menu exists, there are several new and exciting things to try if you’ve tried everything on the classic menu. With fish tacos and even several grilled shrimp and fish items, there’s always something new to try. Having trouble deciding what to get? You could always get the variety platter and have a little bit of everything!

Official secret menu vs. customer creations?

If you’re looking for delicious fish, shrimp or chicken, Long John Silver’s has you covered. They even let you make some simple modifications to your order if you ask. Many of these modifications won’t cost you anything extra, as all you’re doing is substituting sauces to switch up the flavors. Here are some simple ways to experience some new tasty delights:

• The Wild Alaska Pollock Sandwich is topped with tartar sauce and pickles. Give this dish some unique flavor by substituting Baja sauce for the tartar sauce. It turns a simple sandwich into a zesty experience!
• Love the taste and texture of shrimp, but looking for a healthy way to enjoy it? Try the Grilled Shrimp Tacos but go easy on the Baja sauce or skip it entirely. It’s a healthy way to enjoy this tasty dish, and you’ll get to enjoy the full flavor of the shrimp.
• The Grilled Salmon is a healthy option with a lot of taste, but a little sauce on the side can really make it great. Ask for some sweet chili sauce on the side to give this dish a tangy kick.
