I can't believe I forgot this chain... it's like forgetting Taco Bell when writing a round-up of chalupas. For some reason, I can vividly remember locations of many other Long John Silver's restaurants, including Westminster, Calif. and Sparks, Nev. But I'm hard-pressed to remember that any exist here in San Diego. The closest was in... Continue Reading →
San Diego recently became the home of another beloved Midwest fast-food chain: Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. That name is a mouthful, and since I'd rather have a mouthful of their fish sandwich, from here on I'll refer to them as Freddy's. Freddy's has two San Diego County locations at this writing— San Marcos and... Continue Reading →
Closing off this season's Friday Fast-Food Fishtaculars is a round up of Arby's three fish sandwiches (the only chain I'm aware of that has three fish sandwiches on the menu simultaneously). I figured the best way to prevent redundant critiques on flavors, portions and prices was to go with a chart. Click on the image... Continue Reading →
Last year, I found myself driving through Utah on a road trip and somewhere south of Salt Lake City I got the hungries. I hadn't eaten at an Arctic Circle before so I checked it out. This wasn't the first Arctic Circle I saw on the trip, but every one I did see was in... Continue Reading →
I shouldn't even be writing this. Not because I don't like doing fast-food fish sandwich reviews for Darlene, but because this will give Green Burrito a tiny amount of attention. More than it deserves, certainly, as its Beer-Battered Cod Fish Taco is one of the worst entries in my fishtacular roundups. "They're back!" Is that... Continue Reading →
Note from Darlene: I've been busy so I wrangled Paul into eating this burger and writing a post for me. If there's one lesson to be learned, lunch is never free with me. Boo. Not in a “Happy Halloween” way, but in an opposite of “yay!” way. Burger King unveiled its HA1loween Whopper locally this... Continue Reading →
What happens when a ubiquitous fast-food chain swaps out tartar sauce for "spicy sauce" on their fish sandwich? You get a happy customer. Burger King's Spicy Big Fish Sandwich is their latest deep-fried ichthological offering. It appears to be roughly the same build as their Big Fish Sandwich (which I reviewed here), so for sake...

It's been a while since my last Friday Fast Food Fishtacular, mainly because I've exhausted all the fast-food fish sandwich offerings in the tri-county area. In fact, I was considering a series of critiques on fish tacos/fish burritos, but that could escalate into shrimp po'boys or tuna melts. No, fish sandwiches are my jam. Last... Continue Reading →
Note from Darlene: A trip to any big box retailer isn't complete without stopping by the chip/candy/cookie aisle. The choices of overwhelming. Here's Paul's take on the trend. I have a pretty good memory when it comes to random consumerism, especially from my youth. I can still recite commercial jingles long-since mothballed and recall packaging and... Continue Reading →
