Wendy’s is bringing back a food item that was well-received when it was first launched. The restaurant announced the return of its Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich, but it will only be available for a limited time.
It was reported that Wendy’s is adding the Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich to the menu starting Feb. 28. This sandwich was already offered by the restaurant last year, but this time, there will be some changes.
The new version of the sandwich will feature a wild-caught Alaskan pollock fish fillet that was deeply fried after being coated with panko breading. It will be served in a bun with American cheese, lettuce, creamy dill tartar sauce, and pickles.
Originally, the Crispy Panko Fish sandwich was released at Wendy’s using a wild-caught North Pacific cod fish fillet. However, most customers commented that pollock will offer a smoother texture, better flavor, and would be crispier. Thus, Wendy’s decided to create the new version using the said fish meat.
The return of the Crispy Panko Fish is just in time for the upcoming Lenten season. And it will be in the stores for the next six weeks. It was added that some Wendy’s locations may offer the sandwich throughout the year.
“We pride ourselves on offering what we believe is the best all-around fish sandwich among fast-food restaurants – and it was important we maintain that status,” The Wendy’s Company’s vice president of culinary innovation, John Li, said via the company’s blog site. “The new Wild Alaskan Pollock fillet’s buttery flakiness is complemented by savory notes of garlic and onion. Many of our customers last year remarked on how the sandwich’s texture, flavor, and crispiness is improved compared to the cod sandwich.”
The Wendy’s Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich has a suggested price of $4.29 for the a la carte order. It should be noted that prices may differ depending on the store location.
Finally, Popeyes, Wendy’s rival, also launched its Flounder Fish Sandwich for Lent, and it is already available as well. But unlike the Crispy Panko Fish, customers can buy the Flounder Sandwich in either the Spicy version or the Classic one.
