How Many Long John Silver’s Are Left in New York State?

Long John Silver's is a well-known brand of fast food seafood restaurants that first began in Kentucky in 1969. It was once the go-to spot for fast food seafood in the United States. But the franchise has experienced a very sharp decline over the years.

According to Eat This, Not That!, Long John Silver's once held over 1,500 locations. But since those days, that number has dwindled to a little over 500 stores, says Wikipedia.

A number of factors in the decline include poor sales, frequent changes in ownership that have proven unsuccessful, and some really bad press about their menu.

Eat This, Not That! says that the Center for Science in the Public Interest once rated The Big Catch as the the "Worst Meal in America", due to the very high amounts of fat and sodium in the food.

They have also made some healthier upgrades to the menu, and given customers menu options aside from just fried foods.
