One less fine dining place in Starkville.

Captain D's went up in flames this morning.

[Extendedcab]

Damn, I remember when that place opened back when I was a student at State. A fish diner was was a nice break from eating burgers and pizza every day.

[Todd4State]

This is truly sad day.

Going to be an insurance investigator studying the hell out of that fire...

More suspicious than when FLo & Edies went up in flames after a couple of years of Hunt Club undercutting them.

Never trusted what kind of fish I was getting at Capt D'S. Not sure it wasn't from Vietnam.

I don't where it was from but it wasn't America. Their fish is probably why I haven't gotten Coronavirus.

Which is why I quit eating there. I want to know where is any seafood's country of origin before I consume it. Some foreign farm raised fish are really bad.

100% agree. I think Mississippi has the best catfish honestly and Louisiana has the best everything thing else as far as regional seafood goes. Oysters, shrimp, crawfish, alligator, redfish, speckled trout, etc.

I always want to know where the seafood came from.

It isn't just seafood and/or fish. I don't "fast food" either, just saying.

Yes to what u say. But there are no better Crab Cakes in America that is as good as Baltimore! Add clam crowder in the NE.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

That's why I ordered only the chicken dinner. The sweet & sour sauce and the chicken was a great combo.

Interesting because my ass went up in flames every time I ate there.

I was in grad school when my roommate and I were discussing what to have for dinner. I said I've never eaten at the Captain D's up the street let's give that a shot. He said he had never eaten there either and wasn't sure why. After 8 hours of sitting on the toilet, we vowed to never try it again.

No difference between Louisiana and Mississippi oysters that I can tell. I do like oysters better up the east coast.

My experience as well. I've eaten at a Capatin D's twice. Both times ended poorly hahah

I could eat the hell out of some soft shell crab down in Manchac right now.

I can't stop laughing LOL LOL LOL LOL ROTFLMAO ... I went there when the place was still new back in the 77/78 timeframe and all was fine - no flaming ass. Apparently things changed significantly since then. LOL LOL LOL LOL ROTFLMAO ...

Don't restaurants have to post, or at least tell you if you ask, the point of origin of food items?

They don't call it Captain Disease for nothing....

They have a sign on their menu that says some of their shit is from Vietnam. I admire their honesty.

[Todd4State]

You're absolutely right! That's why I was careful with what I typed and made sure I said "regional" because I'm pretty sure Maine has better lobsters than Louisiana. Baltimore/Maryland for crabcakes and clams. Also the Pacific Northwest has some really good seafood- salmon, Rainbow Trout, King Crab, Snow Crab, and etc.

The ones in Louisiana are bigger than Mississippi.

I wonder if that's required now? I will definitely say that any restaurant that has that their seafood- especially catfish and crawfish that come locally are more likely to get me back as a customer more frequently. I try to avoid Vietnamese catfish and seafood because the quality isn't as good and of course it won't be as fresh.

[Mobile Bay]

If you guys are really into oysters you should check out so of the farmed ones coming out of Alabama. Ones like Murder Point and Point Aux Pins (I know I probably misspelled that). Auburn university really has engineered a better oyster.

[Bothrops]

Louisiana and Mississippi harvest the same shellfish, gamefish and molluscs. Louisiana yields a lot more probably, but it's the same regional marine ecosystems.

Would they put the origin on the menu if it was required by law? Probably not.

[Jacknut]

Back in the '80s we called it Captain Grease. Nothing better to nurse a hangover! Greasy fish, hushpuppies, fries and a giant sweet tea. Ah, the memories...

The batter and seasoning in Louisiana makes a lot of the difference.

Definitely, unless you're on the coast.

It's not the size of the oyster but how you dip it.

[Reunion Dog]

that place opened when i was in Jr. High @ Starkville Academy. Back in the day when it was new & clean... you couldn't get a seat to sit in. Food was great and service was great. Use to ask for extra crispers... the crunch part of the batter... Hwy 12 had just been 5 laned.

[State82]

That's what she said.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
