- I Tried 7 Fast-Food Fish Sandwiches. This Is the Best. (cheapism.com)
Forget the burger vs. chicken debate! Let’s talk fish sandwiches. I embarked on a quest, a deep-fry dive into the world of fast-food fish, and I’m here to report my findings.
The Crown Jewel: Culver’s Northwoods Walleye Sandwich
Culver’s didn’t just win this taste test; they obliterated the competition. Forget those pressed-together patties, Culver’s serves up actual fillets of fish, battered and fried to perfection.
My walleye was flaky, tender, and crispy. The bun was a tad sweet, but honestly, who cares?
This is fast-food fish nirvana.
Runner-Up Royalty: Culver’s North Atlantic Cod Sandwich
Yes, Culver’s again. Two different fish, two phenomenal sandwiches.
The cod was a close second to the walleye, still leagues beyond other contenders. The sweet bun and shredded cheese remain a puzzling choice, but I’m not complaining.
A Respectable Third: Long John Silver’s
Long John Silver’s offers a decent sandwich, though a noticeable drop in quality from Culver’s. The pickles are a highlight, but the batter could use some work, and the bun overwhelms the flavor. Stick to the platter.
Surprisingly Satisfying: Arby’s
Arby’s? Yes, Arby’s.
Their fish sandwich boasts a crispy, flavorful fillet, shredded lettuce, and a sesame seed bun. It’s a solid choice, proving Arby’s can do more than just “have the meats.”
Middle of the Pack: Dairy Queen
Dairy Queen’s V-shaped sandwich is perfectly acceptable, but let’s be real, you’re here for a Blizzard.
A Fishy Enigma: McDonald’s Filet-o-Fish
The Filet-o-Fish. A classic, yes, but why so beloved?
It’s…fine. Flavorless, almost.
The cheese adds another layer of mystery to this perplexing sandwich.
Bottom of the Barrel: Burger King
This was the fishiest of the bunch, and not in a good way. Fresh fish shouldn’t taste fishy.
The pickles were a nice touch, but the lingering aftertaste left me questioning what I had just consumed. Avoid.
