Wendy's fish sandwich returns to restaurants nationwide on Feb. 14 for Lent. That's right! The Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich, a burger chain staple, returns today, Feb. 12. This year's return date is more than a week early than last year's Feb. 20 debut.
A wild-caught Alaskan pollock fillet is fried in panko breading and topped with lettuce, American cheese, pickles, and creamy dill tartar sauce on a premium Wendy's bun.
Wendy switched from cod to Alaskan pollock in its seasonal fish sandwiches few years ago. Wendy's now buys from the world's largest certified sustainable fishery, per a press statement.
Wendy's expects the Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich to cost $6.16 this year, depending on region. Visit your local Wendy's soon to try the seasonal alternative. As in previous years, it will be limited-time only.
Wendy's returns its fish sandwich for Lent, joining a growing number of restaurants adding meat-free options.
Burger King will launch its Fiery Big Fish sandwich on Feb. 14, while Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers will bring back its Deluxe Crispy Fish Sandwich.
