Fast-casual seafood restaurant Captain D's announces the rollout of its wild-caught batter-dipped fish from Alaska, launching June 1, 2026, nationwide. Captain D's 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."

"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, US-based partnerships and responsible sourcing practices."
