The cheese was not doing much for me, but the pickles and romaine lettuce were a nice touch. The fish was crispy-there was an audible "crunch" sound when I bit into it. Review: After my first bite I said, out loud, "Well done, Wendy." I did not have super high hopes for Wendy's after my 2017 review (which was, not coincidentally, the last time I had a fish sandwich at Wendy's), but this was actually a pretty solid sandwich. I noted that unlike McDonald's, Wendy's puts a whole slice of cheese on their sandwich. A helpful sticker reading "fish" was placed over the "chicken" print on the foil. Proof that ice fishing is actually totally worth it."įirst impressions: The sandwich was exactly as the website described it, and it came wrapped in foil. Website description: "Wild caught Alaskan pollock fillet, crunchy panko breading, topped with creamy dill tartar sauce, pickles, lettuce, and American cheese. Pandering: Yes, this is limited time only and was introduced the week before Lent. If you live near a Popeyes, this is definitely worth getting-although it is significantly more calorie-dense than other options. The pickles were delicious, but my sandwich could have benefited from a bit more tartar sauce.
The bread was able to hold up to the sizable flounder fillet, and the flounder had more of a "meatier" taste to it than the pollock sandwiches of other fast food chains. There was a level of spice that was not overpowering, but was an interesting contrast to the brioche and condiments. The fillet itself spilled out from the bun and was not, contra the sandwiches at Wendy's, Arby's, and McDonald's, a square, making it feel less-processed. Website description: "Our all new Flounder Fish Fillet, served on a warm and toasted buttery brioche bun, with crisp barrel cured pickles and tartar sauce."įirst impressions: The sandwich I received was wrapped in a foil bag, and had a paper wrapper on the sandwich itself-which I assume was to preserve the structural integrity of the sandwich. Pandering: No, this is on the permanent menu, but there must be consideration given to the fact that this was the original "hey, I want Catholics to eat at my restaurant on Fridays" menu item. I'm not mad I ate a Filet-O-Fish, but I'm not going to rush back for another one anytime soon. It would have been nice to have pickles or some other vegetable topping as well to add texture and nutritional value to the sandwich. I'm unclear as to why there was half a slice of American cheese on the sandwich, as it was impossible to discern the taste under the tartar sauce. The tartar sauce tasted like.tartar sauce. The fish wasn't soggy, but wasn't super crispy either. Review: There was nothing bad about this sandwich, but there was not a whole lot exemplary about it either. I had to wait a short time before I received the sandwich, so I assume it was freshly made. Website description: "This McDonald's fish sandwich has fish sourced from sustainably managed fisheries, topped with melty American cheese and creamy McDonald's tartar sauce, and served on a soft, steamed bun." A link on the website for users to "learn what kind of fish is in Filet-o-Fish" leads to a 404 error.įirst impressions: It looked like a standard Filet-O-Fish, and was packaged in a cardboard box. Pandering: No, this is on the permanent menu. Also the Big Fish gave me a stomach ache after I ate it. It wasn't bad, but I'm not going to go running for a Big Fish again unless I'm on the New Jersey Turnpike on a Friday. The fish was not crunchy, and had a similar texture to a french fry. The overload of "tartar sauce" gave the distinct feeling of "wow, this is extremely unhealthy," as I was eating the sandwich, which I guess is an appropriate feeling for Lent. While some of the other sandwiches suffered due to a relative lack of sauces, the Big Fish had a layer of "tartar sauce" (Burger King claims) spread on both the bottom bun and on top of the fillet. The addition of iceberg lettuce and pickles added an interesting texture to the sandwich, but I would have preferred romaine lettuce instead. Review: The Big Fish has the same problem as the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish-there's nothing overtly wrong with it, but there's nothing overtly good about it either. I liked that the pickles were crinkle-cut. There was a lot of lettuce on the sandwich. The sandwich was wrapped in a dedicated wrapper specifically for fish. Website description: "Our premium Big Fish Sandwich is 100% White Alaskan Pollock, breaded with crispy panko breading and topped with sweet tartar sauce, tangy pickles, all on top of a toasted brioche-style bun."įirst impressions: The website claims that tartar sauce goes on the sandwich, but I'm pretty sure that my sandwich came with mayonnaise instead.
