Dive into Long John Silver's® New Fried Pickles

Long John Silver's® is turning heads yet again with its exciting new menu addition. Starting August 24, 2026, the beloved fast-food seafood chain brings the humble pickle to the forefront by adding freshly battered Fried Pickles, paired with a zesty Ranch with OLD BAY® sauce. This limited-time offering is sure to delight pickle lovers everywhere, and it's a perfect example of how the brand keeps innovating to capture the tastes of its patrons.

The Rise of Pickles on Menus

In recent months, pickles have taken center stage in the culinary world. From upscale restaurants to fast-food joints, this tangy, crunchy treat has become a fan favorite. Recognizing this trend, Long John Silver’s® seized the opportunity to give the classic appetizer a twist. According to Meredith Smith, the brand’s director of marketing, the decision to batter the pickles arose naturally from their experience with fish battering. “We batter fish for a living, so it felt right to experiment with pickles,” Smith explained.

A Unique Flavor Experience

The Fried Pickles at Long John Silver's® are not your average fare. Coated in the same signature batter used for their famous Fried Alaska Pollock, these pickles come out golden and crispy, making them the perfect accompaniment to any meal or snack. The addition of Ranch with OLD BAY® injects an exciting twist, merging two beloved flavors into one creamy sauce. OLD BAY®, a seasoning synonymous with seafood, adds a flavorful richness that enhances the overall experience. Whether dipping hushpuppies or Chicken Planks, this new sauce is sure to impress.

A Complete Meal with a Twist

But that's not all; Long John Silver’s® is also revamping its menu items to include these Fried Pickles. The Fish and Chicken Platter has been upgraded to feature two pieces of wild-caught Alaska Pollock, three Chicken Planks, and now, a side of Fried Pickles with their new Ranch with OLD BAY®. It’s the perfect way to enjoy signature favorites alongside new offerings—all in one convenient platter.

For those looking for a budget-friendly option, the Fish & Chicken Basket remains a fantastic deal at just $6. It features one piece of hand-battered Alaska Pollock, a Chicken Plank, a side, and hushpuppies. The addition of fried pickles makes this offering even more tempting, giving guests a delightful combination of flavors without breaking the bank.

Welcoming Fall with Pumpkin Cheesecake

As summer gives way to fall, the return of Pumpkin Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory Bakery® is another highlight that guests can look forward to. This delectable dessert combines creamy pumpkin flavors with seasonal spices, completing the dining experience in a sweet manner. It screams fall vibes and offers a delicious way to indulge as the seasons shift.
