Captain D's Seafood Kitchen Sets Sights on San Antonio

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Captain D's Seafood Kitchen, the nation's No. 2 seafood chain, is looking to San Antonio, TX for expansion beyond its Nashville roots. A southern favorite, Captain D's began more than 40 years ago, and today has more than 600 restaurants in 26 states and is owned by Nashville-based Sagittarius Brands.

"San Antonio is an ideal market for Captain D's. San Antonio diners enjoy seafood and Captain D's provides an alternative seafood experience with a focus on quality," said Rick Hedreen, franchise recruiting director for Sagittarius Brands, parent company of Captain D's.

According to Hedreen, the chain is seeking experienced restaurateurs to open up to as many as 10 new restaurants in this area. Hedreen will be meeting with prospective franchisees in San Antonio from November 7 - 8.

Recently, Captain D's introduced an updated concept with a new look to the restaurant and a revamped menu. The new restaurant design combines traditional Captain D's elements with a blend of new features and colors including a new order station, menu board, seating package and décor.

In addition to keeping the all-time traditional menu favorites like Captain D's freshly battered fish filets and deluxe seafood platter, the chain has added grilled items such as Alaskan Salmon, Tilapia, farm-raised Catfish or Shrimp Skewers, available grilled or Blackened.

Captain D's opened its first new prototype design in Oxford, Mississippi, in January. The Oxford restaurant is the beginning of a phased-in remodeling and building program that included 35 restaurants in the Nashville market.

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Captain D's owns, operates and franchises some 600 restaurants in 26 of the United States and the Caribbean, plus military bases around the world. Captain D's restaurants serve a widely varied seafood menu that includes freshly prepared entrees, pasta dishes, and the company's signature fried fish that is freshly hand-battered and prepared to order to ensure freshness. The restaurants also offer premium-quality baked or broiled fish, as well as shrimp, chicken, an expanded selection of home-style side dishes, hushpuppies, desserts and freshly brewed, southern style sweet tea, a Captain D's favorite.
