Salmon or Fish and Chips?

Order the salmon. The two plates have almost the same protein, 44g against 43g, and the fish and chips costs you 830 more calories, 62g more fat and 1,450mg more sodium to get there. At 117g, the fish and chips has more fat than anything else in our nutrition data, more even than the Whisky Bacon Burger's 97g.

That doesn't make fish and chips a bad order. It makes it a Friday-night order, not a lunch you're trying to keep light. If you get it, swap the fries for Steamed Broccoli and you take 300 calories off.

Every Applebee's Seafood Dish

Blackened Cajun Salmon

Blackened salmon fillet with mashed potatoes and broccoli

A salmon fillet rubbed with Cajun spices and seared on high heat until the spices form a dark crust. That crust is what "blackened" means, and it keeps the fish moist inside. It's the lightest seafood entrée, has the least sodium in the section, and it's the only seafood tagged pescatarian in our data.

Hand-Battered Fish & Chips

Hand-battered white fish fillets fried with seasoned fries and tartar sauce

White fish coated in batter to order and fried, with fries. Hand-battered is why the crust is thick and uneven rather than smooth. It's the heaviest entrée on the menu at 1,680 calories, with 117g of fat, 3,500mg of sodium and 22g of sugar. Price varies enough between restaurants that we don't list one.

Double Crunch Shrimp

Battered fried shrimp with cocktail sauce and fries

Battered, fried shrimp with a heavy crunch, served with cocktail sauce and fries. The horseradish in cocktail sauce cuts through fried food better than a creamy dip. Double Crunch Shrimp is also one of the three proteins on All You Can Eat, which came back May 11, 2026 at $15.99, the same price as one plate here.

  • $15.99 · 1,210 calories · contains shellfish

Want shrimp that isn't fried? The Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp skillet uses blackened shrimp: 1,010 calories with 57g of protein.

Allergens

The salmon contains fish, milk and soy. The fish and chips contains fish, wheat, soy and milk. The shrimp is shellfish. Fried seafood comes out of a fryer, so with a shellfish allergy, ordering the fish instead of the shrimp doesn't make it safe. Talk to the kitchen. The allergen menu filters every item we track.

Seafood To Go

Salmon travels well: no coating to lose, and it reheats in a pan. Fried seafood is the worst traveler on the menu. Batter holds steam, and it goes soft in the box faster than breaded chicken. If you take it home, eat it first and reheat leftovers in an air fryer, never a microwave. More on Carside To Go.
