The first restaurant was opened in 1969. Until its bankruptcy in 1998, Long John Silver's was a privately owned corporation.
The restaurant chain was the subject of some controversy in the late 1990s for a commercial in which a police officer decided not to write a ticket to a motorist who gave him a Long John Silver's fish sandwich. Many police organizations objected to the commercial on the grounds that it depicted a police officer taking a bribe.
