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 →
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 →
When I think "fast food" — and likely when you do, too — Dairy Queen almost never comes up as a choice. In fact, the only time I do think of "Dairy Queen" and 'food" in the same, connected thought is when I'm on a road trip and I see a DQ on the side of... Continue Reading →
Choices are getting pretty lean here in San Diego for unreviewed fast-food restaurants that offer fish sandwiches. I've pretty much written about everything this side of Burger King and McDonald's. I even browbeat a half-dozen KFCs because they aren't carrying their "Fish Snacker," even though it's on the corporate website.* Desperate for another new experience,... Continue Reading →
Tucked away in the furthest corner of the contiguous 48 states is the town of Imperial Beach, California. And there, you can find one of the few remaining Rally's drive-in restaurants in San Diego County. Rally's (or Checkers, as it's known elsewhere in the U.S.) is a tiny little fast food joint, where you... Continue Reading →
One of the last major fast-food chains I expected to find a fish sandwich was Arby's. It never dawned on me that the chain known for its roast beef sandwiches and jamocha shakes would also offer a fish sandwich, and a pretty good one, too. As I pulled into the drive-thru, I remember thinking, "Wait!... Continue Reading →
