If you enjoy trying something a little different from the usual fast-food favourites, Long John Silver’s Singapore has brought back a dark and crunchy seasonal favourite that is worth checking out. The Dark Crunch has returned, giving diners another chance to enjoy Long John Silver’s signature crispy-style meal with a charcoal-coloured batter and a creamy, savoury tobiko-garlic sauce.
Available for a limited time from 7 October 2026 onwards, The Dark Crunch promotion offers a choice between Charcoal Dory and Charcoal Chicken. Both options come as a complete meal with fries, or a choice of side, together with a regular Fanta Grape. It is an easy option for anyone looking for a filling meal without spending too much.
The promotion is available from 11am daily for dine-in and takeaway, while customers who prefer to eat at home can also order through foodpanda and GrabFood. However, it is worth noting that the promotional prices listed are for dine-in and takeaway only, so delivery pricing may differ.
A Darker Take on a Crispy Favourite
The first thing that makes The Dark Crunch stand out is its charcoal batter. Instead of the usual golden appearance associated with fried seafood or chicken, the charcoal batter gives the meal a noticeably darker look while keeping the crispy texture that makes this type of dish so enjoyable.
For fans of Long John Silver’s, the return of The Dark Crunch is a chance to revisit a seasonal item. For anyone who has never tried it before, it is also a fun opportunity to step away from the standard menu and try something with a different combination of flavours.
The charcoal batter is paired with a tobiko-garlic sauce, bringing together a creamy, savoury taste with the crunch of the fried coating. The sauce is an important part of the meal because it gives the crispy pieces an additional layer of flavour rather than leaving the batter to do all the work.
There is also a choice between seafood and chicken, making it easier to pick a meal according to personal preference.
Choose Charcoal Dory for $8.90
For seafood lovers, the Charcoal Dory set is priced at $8.90 for dine-in or takeaway.
The dory is coated in the limited-time charcoal batter and finished with the tobiko-garlic sauce. It comes with fries, or a choice of side, plus a regular Fanta Grape.
At $8.90, this is a reasonably straightforward option when you want a complete meal rather than ordering individual items. The combination of a main item, side and drink also makes it convenient for a lunch break, casual dinner or quick meal while shopping.
The Charcoal Dory could also be the better choice for regular Long John Silver’s customers who prefer seafood and want to see how the familiar menu has been given a seasonal twist.
Charcoal Chicken Starts from $7.90
If chicken is more your thing, the Charcoal Chicken set comes in two sizes.
The 2-piece Charcoal Chicken set costs $7.90, while the 3-piece version is $9.40 for dine-in or takeaway. Both options include the tobiko-garlic sauce, fries or a choice of side, and a regular Fanta Grape.
The 2-piece meal is particularly appealing if you are looking for a budget-friendly option. At $7.90, it costs less than the Charcoal Dory set while still giving you a complete meal with a drink and side.
For a slightly heartier meal, the 3-piece option is only $1.50 more. That makes it something to consider if you are especially hungry or simply prefer having an extra piece of chicken.
Why Should You Try The Dark Crunch?
There are plenty of fast-food choices in Singapore, so limited-time menu items can be a good excuse to try something different. The Dark Crunch is not simply another standard fried chicken or fish meal because the charcoal batter and tobiko-garlic sauce give it a distinct identity.
The pricing is another reason to consider the promotion. With the Charcoal Chicken 2-piece meal starting at $7.90, it provides an accessible option for diners who want a complete meal without going for a more expensive restaurant meal.
It can also work well for different occasions. Need a quick lunch? The promotion starts from 11am daily. Looking for something casual after work? The meal is available throughout the day. Meeting a friend who prefers chicken while you prefer seafood? The promotion gives you both choices without having to go to separate restaurants.
There is also the convenience factor. Customers can dine in or pick up their food for takeaway, while those who would rather stay home can order through foodpanda or GrabFood. This makes the promotion fairly easy to fit into a busy day.
Of course, anyone planning to order through delivery should remember that the advertised prices apply to dine-in and takeaway only. Delivery prices and applicable charges may be different.
A Seasonal Meal Worth Putting on the List
One of the enjoyable things about limited-time promotions is that they give diners a reason to return to familiar restaurants. Even if you have visited Long John Silver’s many times before, a returning seasonal item can make the menu feel a little more interesting.
The Dark Crunch is particularly eye-catching thanks to its charcoal-coloured batter, but the real appeal comes from the combination of crispy coating, savoury tobiko-garlic sauce, fries or another side and a refreshing Fanta Grape.
If you are planning a casual meal with friends or family, the different Charcoal Chicken and Charcoal Dory options also make it easy for everyone to choose something they like. And because the promotion is available from 11am daily, there is no need to wait until a particular time of day to try it.
Where Can You Get It?
The Dark Crunch is available at participating Long John Silver’s Singapore restaurants from 7 October 2026 onwards. Since the promotion is available for a limited time, it is better not to leave it until the last minute if you are interested in trying it.
Customers can use the official Long John Silver’s Singapore location page to find a restaurant near them. The official promotion page also provides more information about The Dark Crunch and other menu promotions.
For those who prefer convenience, the meal can also be ordered through foodpanda and GrabFood. However, remember that the stated promotional prices of $8.90 for Charcoal Dory, $7.90 for 2-piece Charcoal Chicken and $9.40 for 3-piece Charcoal Chicken apply to dine-in and takeaway.
Should You Go for It?
If you are a fan of crispy fried food, seafood or chicken and enjoy trying limited-time menu items, The Dark Crunch is certainly worth adding to the list. The starting price of $7.90 makes it an affordable meal option, while the choice of Charcoal Dory or Charcoal Chicken gives diners some flexibility.
The combination of charcoal batter and tobiko-garlic sauce also makes this more interesting than simply ordering a regular meal. Add the fries or your preferred side and a regular Fanta Grape, and you have a convenient set that works for lunch, dinner or a casual bite.
Most importantly, this is a limited-time promotion. So, if the unusual charcoal batter catches your attention, it is better to try it while it is available rather than waiting until it disappears from the menu.
