This fast-food restaurant has the ‘best’ fish sandwich, new report says

Popeyes, known for its chicken sandwich, is considered to be the best fast-food restaurant to get a fish sandwich as well, according to a new report from The Washington Post.

Tim Carman, the paper’s food reporter, tried 10 fish sandwiches from six national fast-food chains to determine which restaurants had the best sandwich.


One well-known fast-food fish sandwich, the Filet-O-Fish from McDonald’s, didn’t make the cut because Carman said the one he sampled was “greasy, bready and, oddly, chewy.”

These are the top 5 best fast-food chains to get a fish sandwich, according to the Washington Post.

  1. Popeyes’ Classic Flounder Fish Sandwich
  2. Burger King’s Fiery Big Fish
  3. Wendy’s Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich
  4. Bojangles’ Bojangler Fish Sandwich
  5. Arby’s Crispy Fish Sandwich

Fish sandwiches have been seasonal or year-round staples at many fast-food chains as a way to appeal to Catholics who don’t eat meat on Fridays, some even outside of Lent.
