Cayenne-Coated Seafood

The New Nashville Hot Fish Dish Puts a Spicy Twist on Fast Food Seafood

Following in the footsteps of KFC, Captain D's is introducing a new Tennessee-inspired dish called 'Nashville Hot Fish.' Nashville hot chicken is a Southern specialty that involves coating chicken in a paste spiced with cayenne pepper. This tasty seafood dish draws inspiration from the Nashville specialty by adding the same coating to a piece of Southern-Style White Fish.

The new Nashville Hot Fish dish is the latest permanent addition to the Captain D's menu. The dish consists of Southern-Style White Fish coated in a piquant blend of cayenne-based spices. The dish is served on crisp bread and then topped with pickle slices. Customers can also choose two sides and a serving of hushpuppies for just $4.99.

The new seafood meal meets the growing demand for dishes inspired by the popular Nashville specialty.
