McDonald’s
McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish.
One could not write about fish sandwiches without first acknowledging
McDonald’s staple — the Filet-O-Fish — which inspired a classic jingle
involving a robotic bass lamenting his brethren’s fate as fast food.
In reality, the sandwich features a wild-caught Alaska pollock made
into a crispy fish fillet patty topped with American cheese and
McDonald’s tartar sauce, served on a steamed bun.
Burger King
Burger King’s Fiery Big Fish.
Burger King now has a spicy version of its fish sandwich, which the
brand says makes it “a great option for those observing Lent” or those
seafood-lovers seeking a tangier take on the original.
Fiery Big Fish: Available for a limited time at participating Burger
King restaurants nationwide, the Fiery Big Fish features a fried fish
fillet with lettuce, pickles, tartar sauce and a spicy glaze served on
a brioche-style bun.
Big Fish: BK’s OG fish sandwich features Alaska pollock with panko
breading, sweet tartar sauce, lettuce and pickles on a toasted bun.
Additionally, from Feb. 14 until March 28, members of BK’s Royal Perks
loyalty program can enjoy a second original or Fiery Big Fish for $2
when they purchase one at full price online or in the BK app.
