Last week we had a pleasant surprise here on Fast Food Friday, the food was actually pretty good. Well this week I’m going to try a fish taco from Long John Silver’s. Yeah you heard me right, a fish taco from Long John Silver's. I have a very bad feeling that history isn’t going to repeat itself, but let’s go and find out.

How Fast Is It Really?
Three minutes after I placed the order it was in the MBIP Mobile, so it was pretty fast. Plus the woman at the window was extremely polite and friendly.
The Myth
This is how the tacos looks on the Long John Silver’s website.
The Reality
This is how it really looks when I got it home. I’m already a little frightened of this thing.
Opening Up The Fish Taco And Turning It Over
When you first open it up it’s not that big of a deal. Just one of their gross and greasy fish filets inside of a soft taco tortilla. But the gut-wrenching horror starts when you flip it over and see what’s underneath it. That sickening creamy mixture is what Long John Silver’s calls “Baja Sauce.” To me it looks like vegetarian vomit scooped from a river of rancid mucus. The smell of this thing is not pleasant at all.
The First Bite And The Taste
Oh my. When you bite into this vile thing masquerading as a “fish taco” the first thing you notice is the combination of slime and crispy grease in your mouth. It made me think of a deep-fried sewer system that hasn’t been flushed for decades. The taste is horrific and the after-taste is even worse and it just keeps multiplying after you swallow it. It tastes like Charlie the Tuna’s abortion and I know that Charlie couldn’t have had an abortion because he’s Charlie the Tuna, not Charlotte the Tuna...but still...it tastes like Charlie The Tuna’s abortion.
Fast Food Rating (Four Is The Worst, None Is The Best)
Four fingers down the throat. The only positive thing I can think to say about this nightmarish grease-slime contraption they call a taco is that I don’t think it can ever get any worse than this. We’ll see you all tomorrow.
