MikeBiDude Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Step aside chicken sandwich wars: Fish sandwiches are the latest weapon in a heavyweight battle among fast food chains. For a limited time, Arby's will sell a Crispy Fish Sandwich, which retails for $2.99 and King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe with a retail price of $3.99. The sandwich will be available from now until March 29th. During this weekend's Saturday Night Live episode, Arby's unveiled a cheeky ad designed in part to tweak competitors like McDonald's and Popeye's, which earlier this month added a Cajun Flounder Sandwich as a follow-up to wildly successful chicken sandwich. In addition to Wendy's recently debuted a Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich, replacing its traditional cod version. Normally known for its beef sandwiches, Arby's announced that consumers "who have ever settled for a disappointing fast-food fish sandwich" now have an opportunity to try their limited-edition fish sandwiches — for free. Consumers can head to the website ArbysFishCheck.com to claim a check, each for $3.79, which is the average menu price of quick-service-restaurant fish sandwiches — but only "while the vault’s still open." For those not lucky enough to score a check, Arby's is also offering a grand check prize of $379 until March 12th. “For anyone who has had second thoughts about eating a square-fish sandwich, it’s time for a fish ‘do-over,’ Arby’s chief marketing officer Patrick Schwing told Yahoo Finance — taking a pointed swipe at the Golden Arches' Filet-O-Fish, a perennial menu favorite. "That’s why we’re mailing out thousands of checks to try an Arby’s Crispy Fish Sandwich, as our fish sandwiches featuring wild-caught Alaskan Pollock continue to be one of our guests’ favorite seasonal menu offerings," Schwing added. Many fast feeders roll our seafood offerings during Lent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @samhexum it's lent. Most of these chain fast food places have a fish offering during lent. The only ones I can remember that carry their fish offering thru the year are McDonalds [ugh] and Culvers [sigh]. Quiznos shut down locally several years ago. They used to have a wonderful seafood salad during Lent that featured a healthy dose of fake crab meat. MikeBiDude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Taco maybe some regional to my area… But they came out with some amazing shrimp tacos for Lent. + WilliamM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBiDude Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 fish tacos are also originally from SoCal. Wrong...for the most part Baja California and the beaches of mainland Mexico. Tacos de pescado ("fish tacos") originated in Baja California in Mexico, where they consist of grilled or fried fish, lettuce or cabbage, pico de gallo, and a sour cream or citrus/mayonnaise sauce, all placed on top of a corn or flour tortilla.

Place of origin: Mexico A real Californian with several generations dating back to 1848 told me that. Somehow we don't always associate something as healthy and full of protein as fish with Mexican cuisine.

marylander1940 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 you love chocolate, don't you? The history of chocolate can be traced to the ancient Mayans, and even earlier to the ancient Olmecs of southern Mexico. The word chocolate may conjure up images of sweet candy bars and luscious truffles, but the chocolate of today is little like the chocolate of the past Pay attention to the italics width=586pxhttps://media4.giphy.com/media/3o6Yg8HrovTujAdIVa/source.gif[/img] Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory - Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might be pregnant ? @jjkrkwood I too am addicted to PE's honey walnut shrimp. But I have a partner of 30 years+ who is Chinese from Malaysia and an excellent cook. He's appalled by the idea that I might like Chinese food other than that he's prepared. So when I can I sneak into a PE and get a single order of that honey walnut shrimp and consume it on the spot as if were a Marble Slab dish of ice cream.
