More seafood sandwiches for Lent
Several food chains release seafood based items around Lent, as many people abstain from meat on certain days during Lent. Fish becomes an excellent alternative for protein options.
In light of this, Popeye's has brought back its fan-favorite Flounder Fish Sandwich, the Shrimp Tacklebox, and the Surf 'n' Turf Combo for a limited period. Dairy Queen recently launched the limited edition Alaskan Fish Sandwich with a few seasonal drinks. Burger King also announced the comeback of the Fiery Big Fish Sandwich.
The comeback of the Redhook Beer-Battered Fish Sandwich has been met with excitement by fans. They can make for great weeknight dinners, especially with the value deals and combos.
However, since the sandwiches are available only for a limited time, they will likely be on the menu until supplies last. Customers who want to get the sandwich featuring Alaskan Pollock fillets should head to their nearest Hardee's or Carl's Jr. location at the earliest.
