Burgers, chicken nuggets, pizza, tacos……

What are you supposed to eat when none of the above sounds good?

A crispy fish sandwich of course!

But which fast food joint makes the best fish sandwich? 

In the name of ‘food science’ (a’hem, cough), I’ll be sampling fish sandwiches from all the national fast food chains.  Which restaurant and their version of a crispy fish sandwich will get top honors?

I’ll be going through the restaurant list, one meal at a time…..  What?  Eat nothing but fish sandwiches for lunch AND dinner?  Like I said, done in the name of ‘food science’……

Here is “The List” of fast food joints I’ll be trying out during the course of this challenge:

  • Arby’s
  • Burger King
  • Dairy Queen
  • Hardee’s
  • Freddie’s
  • Long John Silver’s
  • McDonald’s
  • Popeyes
  • Wendy’s

Who has the best sandwich?  The worst? 

After an underwhelming fish sandwich at Long John Silver’s for lunch, I decided on Dairy Queen and their version of a fish sandwich for dinner.  That’s right, I’m going to a place that’s known for ice cream, to have a fish sandwich.  

I had an Atlantic Cod Fish Sandwich from DQ for dinner and it was delicious!  The fish was perfectly prepared, a crispy fillet topped with fresh green leaf lettuce and tartar sauce, served on a toasted bun.  You get the crunch from the fried fish, the tart from the sauce, that bite balanced with refreshing lettuce and all of it blanketed in that warm, soft bun.

It’s a totally satisfying sandwich!  Nicely done DQ!  It’s a repeat buy!

The sandwich cost me $3.97, that’s Bachelor on the Cheap Friendly!  DQ and their version of a crispy fish sandwich gets four out of five Bachelor on the Cheap stars.
