Popeyes is known for its Louisiana fried chicken and its chicken sandwich that previously ignited the chicken sandwich war. But then, the restaurant also has other food items on its menu that are popular as well, such as its fish sandwich and Popeyes Cajun Fries.
Now, as the season of Lent is approaching once again this year, Popeyes just brought back its favorite fish item, which is the Flounder Fish Sandwich. The fasting season is coming in a few weeks' time, but the fried chicken chain has already released the sandwich and is now available in restaurant outlets in the United States and Canada, as per QSR Web.
Customers can purchase the Flounder Fish Sandwich at Popeyes and choose from two flavor options which are the classic and spicy flavors. Just like its chicken sandwiches, the returning food item is also served in a brioche bun. The crispy fish fillet is also topped with the fast-food chain's signature cured pickles.
Popeyes is also doing something to celebrate the return of the Flounder Fish Sandwich this year. To mark the event, the company has partnered with New York Nico, a known social media personality, to launch the sandwich via a series of content.
Popeyes is hoping to attract more people to get their fish sandwich today by spreading the news through social media, which is basically the best platform to promote these days. In any case, Foodsided reported that the Lenten season is really the time when most fast-food brands cook up menus that will include fish since a lot of people are fasting.
Restaurants even have their Fish Fridays, which makes the fish dishes the center. For Popeyes, the Flounder Fish Sandwich is available all the days of the week throughout Lent.
Meanwhile, the suggested retail price for the new sandwich is $4.49 a la carte, and they can also be purchased as part of a meal set. Customers of Popeyes can head to the nearest stores in the U.S. and Canada for dine-in, delivery, or takeaway to try out the newly-added fish menu.
