Seafood is traditionally characterized by its high price point, so the Captain D's meal deals have been introduced to offer consumers a more cost-effective option to enjoy some of their favorite fare. The meals come with one entree including the Catfish, Flounder or Signature Batter Dipped Fish, which each come with six Butterfly Shrimp as well as two sides and hush puppies. Priced at just $4.99, the meals are well-priced to make them accessible to all patrons and come with large serving sizes to help maximize value.

The Captain D's meal deals are available for a limited time only through February 23, 2020 at participating locations and are being served alongside the Seafood Gumbo that's around for the wintertime.
