A POPULAR seafood restaurant chain from the US is set to make its European debut, starting right here in the UK.
Captain D’s is the latest US fast food chain to hit the UK and plans to open 20 restaurants across the country with the first set to open in August.
Renowned for its seafood offerings, Captain D’s is celebrated for its hand-battered fish and indulgent seafood platters.
The platters come with an array of dishes such as crispy butterfly shrimp, crab shells stuffed with seafood, and even a dozen fried oysters available as a side option.
The brand is well-known for its hush puppies – small, savoury, deep-fried balls made from a cornmeal-based batter that perfectly complement its seafood dishes.
Kent will be the first location for a Captain D’s in the UK with a shop planned to open there in August.
But the precise site of the debut restaurant remains unconfirmed, as the chain is still in the process of negotiating a lease for an undisclosed location.
After its opening in Kent other Captain D’s restaurants are expected to launch soon after in Sussex and Hampshire.
Naveed Chattha, operations director of CDs Holdings, said: “We have been looking for the right brand to introduce to the UK market, which is exciting and healthy.
“There is a large fish and chips market in the UK, but no one has tried to apply discipline, standards, and quality to such a level here before. With our experience, we feel Captain D’s is the right choice.”
Captain D’s foray into Europe is just one of many American fast food chains making the leap across the pond in recent years.
Shake Shack, which started out as a hotdog cart, recently opened its first restaurant inside a UK train station and has 17 sites in the UK after first launching in 2013.
Popeyes entered the UK market in 2021 and its fried chicken has proved a huge hit, opening more than 38 restaurants across the UK in that time.
Major US fast food chain Chick-fil-A is opening branches across the UK this year too, including in Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool and London.
The Sun exclusively revealed the exact locations of their first five UK restaurants.
Wingstop, which currently has 57 sites across the UK, revealed plans in January to open 20 more before the end of 2025.
Tex-Mex brand Velvet Taco will also be making its UK debut in the spring.
