Lent is here, and many Catholics across America will be abstaining from meat this Friday and all Fridays through April 18. To capitalize on this trend, plenty of fast-food restaurant chains are offering fish sandwiches throughout the season. Here’s a rundown of some of the best fast-food fish sandwiches available.
Arby’s has brought back its three fish sandwiches: Crispy Fish Sandwich, Fish ‘N Cheddar Sandwich, and King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich. Arby’s recently made changes to their breading recipe, which seems to have improved the taste, according to celebrity chef Jason Smith. The standard Big Fish Sandwich remains a favorite among critics.
Burger King has also joined the lenten fish sandwich bandwagon with its Fiery Big Fish Sandwich. While some critics found it spicy and overpowering, others praised the balance of sauce and the lingering heat. Victoria Soliz ranked it second on her list of top fast-food fish sandwiches.
Culver’s is a clear winner among Catholics for its North Atlantic Cod Sandwich. This sandwich features lightly buttered hoagie roll and succulent cod that is never dry or overcooked. Jason Smith agrees, calling it an “excellent” option.
Long John Silver’s Classic Fish Sandwich tops the charts according to food critic Soliz. The classic battered Alaskan pollock filet is a surprise hit among critics, who praised its flavor and texture.
McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish remains one of the most eaten fish sandwiches around. Jason Smith praises it for being made with real fish patties, topped off with cheese and tartar sauce.
Popeyes has brought back its Cajun Flounder Sandwich, which features unique pickles and sauce on a brioche bun. Celebrity chef Jason Smith loves the spicy kick, while food critic Soliz enjoyed the flavor from the spices in the breading.
Lastly, Wendy’s Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich offers a delicious southern-style fish sandwich with panko-breaded wild-caught Alaskan pollock and dill tartar sauce on a soft bun.
