American Brands, Born and Bred
Founded in Tennessee in 1969, Captain D's has spent more than five decades serving seafood to American families. Now, alongside PepsiCo, the two iconic American brands are coming together during our country's 250th birthday celebration to spotlight U.S. seafood sourcing, hardworking American fishing communities and the shared traditions that bring families together around the table.

"At Captain D's, we are proud to serve fish that comes from the cold waters of Alaska and reflects the hard work and dedication of the American fishing industry," said Phil Greifeld, CEO of Captain D's. "This sweepstakes is about celebrating American traditions, supporting sustainable U.S. sourcing and giving families the opportunity to experience the beauty and heritage behind the seafood they enjoy in our restaurants every day."

Captain D's Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish is sourced from the icy waters of Alaska and hand battered fresh daily in restaurants nationwide. The initiative reflects the company's ongoing investment in quality seafood, responsible sourcing and trusted partnerships across the American supply chain.

"We're proud to partner with Captain D's on a promotion that brings together great food, superior tasting beverages and meaningful family experiences," said Justin Schwarz, PepsiCo Away from Home Senior Director. "From coast to coast, Pepsi-Cola beverages have long been part of how people connect over food, and this sweepstakes is a great way to celebrate tradition while driving memorable moments for consumers."

Captain D's recently launched Wild Caught Batter Dipped Fish from Alaska. It is served fresh, flaky, and crispy, and is featured across several of the brand's most popular meals and platters, including its value-driven Full Meal Deals. Product rollout timing may vary by location.
