Fast Food Fish Friday – week 2 – Wendy’s

Hoping to cash in on the wallets of us catholics this Lenten season, Wendy’s came out with the “Premium Fish Fillet Sandwich”. The picture on the website shows a bulky piece of perfectly fried fish under a blanket of fresh lettuce and a hearty helping of tartar sauce. The website describes it as “Hand-cut fillets of North Pacific cod in a crisp Panko crumb breading, served with crisp lettuce and creamy tartar sauce on a warm bun. Now that’s a great-tasting catch.”

In reality it was a square cut piece of fish with cheap restaurant $3 buffet quality lettuce and average quality sauce. Thinking this may have been thrown together in haste I looked around and saw 2 people in line with me and maybe 4 cars in drivethru. This is one BAD case of the ad looking nothing like the product. Does it ever really? The description was way off base too.

The only saving grace was that the fish itself was very tasty. If you look past all of the crud that Wendy’s did to the rest of the sammich it’s a good piece of cod. Plus for me was NO heavy fish taste but that part could have been already burned off my toungue from the sauce.

I was ready to give it a C to C+ but then I had my first drink of Coke post first bite. I literally threw up in my mouth. These 2 do NOT belong together! I had the coke prior to eating so I knew that was OK. I don’t know if it was from the grease they use but typing it now is making me feel ill.

The things I do for you people, I swear! :)

Grade: C- (and that’s generous)

      What a shame. I almost find it hard to believe myself, but fast food restaurants actually use really good quality fish (mostly wild caught, and not farm raised). Then they go and do this to it.

      I don’t know much about catholicism, but do you have to eat fish on Fridays during lent? If not, switch to salads.

      I blame you Shawn you jagoff! :)

      Phil, We don’t HAVE to eat fish on Friday’s during Lent. Just no meat so I “could” have a salad or pasta but since the tradition is to have fish I tend to stick to that. Usually we hit the local church for a fish dinner. I believe they use haddock.
