The Center for Science in the Public Interest rarely makes friends in the nation's chain restaurants. The advocacy group frequently calls out foods it finds nutritionally objectionable.
And on Tuesday, it put Long John Silver's Big Catch meal, with hush puppies and onion rings, in its spotlight, calling it the worst restaurant meal in America — even though plenty of other choices have more calories.
The CSPI says laboratory tests show the Big Catch has 33 grams of trans fat, "the most powerful promoter of heart disease in the food supply," and an additional 19 grams of saturated fat and nearly 3,700 milligrams of sodium — more salt than is recommended for a day.
The Big Catch has 1,320 calories. The dish, the Louisville-based company says, is a temporary menu addition it will offer through July, "or while supplies last."Long John Silver's, which was founded in 1969, issued a statement in response to the CSPI's assertions, saying that at $4.99, the Big Catch "delivers tremendous value to value hungry consumers."
Diners don't have to take the hush puppies and onion rings, the company says. Other side choices include corn, green beans, rice and cole slaw. The Big Catch is a wild-caught whitefish three times the weight of the company's usual uncooked whitefish, the company says.
