The Original: McDonald's Filet-o-Fish

This is one of the most popular options, especially during Lent. Did you know that around 75 million Filet-o-Fish sandwiches are sold during Lent? And this sandwich was originally created with the Catholic crowd in mind, which is no wonder why it’s such a staple during this time of year. But now, you can try some other fast-food options during Lent.

Burger King Fiery Big Fish

Fiery Big Fish sandwich from Burger King

The Fiery Big Fish has a fried fish filet, lettuce, pickles, tartar sauce, and a spicy glaze on a brioche-style bun, and it’ll be sold in stores for around $3.99 right on time for Lent.

Popeyes Flounder Fish Sandwich

The Flounder Fish Sandwich is coming back to Popeyes, and for just $5.99, you can enjoy Southern-crispy fried fish filet with pickles and tartar sauce on a brioche bun.

Or you can try their Spicy Flounder Fish Sandwich, which has spicy mayo instead of tartar sauce, also for $5.99.

Jack in the Box fish sandwich and wraps

Now, you can try fish sandwiches and wraps at Jack in the Box! Grab two fish wraps for $5, full of wild-caught Alaskan Pollock, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tartar sauce, and pickles in a tortilla.

The fish sandwich has a panko-breaded fish filet, tartar sauce, and lettuce on a bakery bun for around $3.29.

Bottom line

With so many options, you can easily grab a new fish sandwich or wrap on each Friday during Lent. You can even have your own taste test to determine which fish option reigns supreme. Which will you be trying first?
