The Frying Dutchman is a seafood restaurant in Springfield. It is owned by Captain Horatio McCallister.

The grand opening of The Frying Dutchman was advertised on television, with the Sea Captain boasting an all-you-can-eat buffet. Homer saw the advertisement and decided he wanted to eat there, despite Marge being allergic to seafood. On the day of the grand opening, Homer ordered the buffet and then immediately took one of the steam trays of food back to his table. Homer continued to eat throughout the evening until the restaurant closed. The Sea Captain had Homer kicked out by the staff because the restaurant was closing, despite Homer saying that he hadn't had all he could eat yet.

After getting kicked out, Homer decided to take The Frying Dutchman to court. He went to Lionel Hutz of I Can't Believe It's a Law Firm! to get him to represent him in court. The trial of Homer Simpson vs. The Frying Dutchman started, and both sides made their cases: Homer's side saying that he hadn't had all he could eat, and the Sea Captain's side saying that Homer would have eaten the restaurant out of business. However, before the trial ended, the Sea Captain and Homer came to an agreement in which Homer could have all he could eat, but he was used as an attraction for the restaurant under the name of "Bottomless Pete."..
