Chain Restaurants That Serve The Highest Quality Fish Sandwiches

[@MashedFood]

Which chain do you think has the best fish sandwich?

[@abdurrahim4910]

That's your opinion! I love cheese on my fish sandwich.

[@martianmusicllc]

[@catslivesmatter1268]

I have to go with McDonald's

[@Rawwbot]

[@jesseortiz5938]

CULVERS

[@pbsfundingaddict790]

I used to work at Captain D’s from 2016-2018 and I love their fish sandwiches and couldn’t resist them. Heck, I even got the opportunity to try The Southern Style Flounder Sandwich in 2023 last year. It was scrumptious. I have also tried the Cajun Catfish Sandwich, though.

[@johnglue1744]

They are pretty big too.

[@robertsims6931]

I'll keep that in mind.

[@rickmiller7884]

Last year, I ordered from Wendy's online and got two fish sandwiches and fries and onion rings with two drinks, which was paid for by credit card. When I went to pick up my order, I was informed that that location didn't have fish sandwiches. They had the nerve to bring me the drinks and sides. I even had to go online to get my money put back on my card. I've never gone back. Luckily, there was a Popeyes close by and their fish sandwiches were really good.

[@kevingriffith598]

Most of these restaurants are not available where I live. But I do enjoy the crispy fish sandwich from Arby's.

[@ELToroPoopoo1]

When it is available, Arby’s over Captain D’s any time.

[@stevea6936]

I just had the Arby's fish sandwich today on sale two for $6 what a deal and what a fish sandwich by far away the biggest fish sandwich out of most of the fast food chains I could only eat one and I save the other one for dinner

[@johnglue1744]

Arby's sneakily has the best fish sandwich out there.

[@InterestedTuber]

Arby's Fish "N Cheddar, my favorite now. I just had it for the first time.

[@BigMama2022]

We live in Mid Missouri and Culver's is right down the street. The cod fish dinner and sandwiches are absolutely THE BEST. Lightly battered, delicious cole slaw, killer fries, its A+++ around. Coincidentally, they're right next to Arby's. Which has a decent sandwich but it's Culver's. 😏

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

When I worked for Arthur Treacher's, they had a decent sandwich but they are now out of business. This year, I'm going to taste test as many fish sandwiches as I can and pick a favorite. I actually loved Mickey D's filet-ofish but it's smaller now and there's more bun than fish. 😮

[@petegregory517]

Treacher’s was great.

[@bunkyman8097]

Arthur Teacher's was the bomb! We had one in town when I was a kid. I sure do miss them!

[@diannelavoie5385]

I like M D's fish sandwich too, but agree with you on the downsizing.

[@normanwyatt8761]

My daughter worked at Arthur Teachers many years ago and would give me a fish sandwich whenever I picked her up at night to bring her home......Great sandwich .........Thanks Norma.......R. I. P.........

[@corvettesbme]

Culvers recently came to our area. I ordered just a piece of fish. My new go to for fish!

[@kimberlygrimm7007]

Culvers has the best fish sandwich I've ever eaten. I need to try Popeyes & Captain D's!

[@mothman-jz8ug]

I at at Captain D's once. That greasy, and I mean GREASY, mess gave me nausea and diarrhea. On the way home, I had to pull over twice so my wife could vomit. So, there's my review of Captain D's.

[@timothymaxey2075]

Captain D's fish sandwich is great despite mothman's opinion. Just be hungry when you order it.

[@Sandy-in1sf]

Wendy’s needs to keep the fish sandwich all the time. It’s delicious 🤤

[@troll9682]

They did in the late '80s

[@dogbarbill]

I agree!!

[@richardbidinger2577]

I worked for Wendy's for 15 years. I've seen how much it cost for a case. It's not cheap. For some franchises, they don't make enough profit to keep it year round.

[@allouttabubblegum1984]

The breading on it has some weird off flavor I don't particularly enjoy.

[@yoc4744]

The fish patty is too thin at Wendy's 2024

[@MrDan708]

Arby's Crispy Fish is quite good. I only wish it was a regular part of their menu, not a seasonal item.

[@gregzeigler3850]

I agree. Nice big piece of fish that covers the bun. Capt. D's also makes a nice large tasty sandwich.

[@bucksbabyboy]

Culvers Fish sandwich is 🔥

[@troll9682]

[@davidpassmore3828]

NOT!

[@diannelavoie5385]

I live in New Bedford Massachusetts, which is a huge fishing port. Fresh seafood is a way of life here. No problem getting delish fresh fish sandwiches in this town at the many non-chain places.

[@normanwyatt8761]

Hey Dianne........Burger King had a fish sandwich years ago, but they were always stale when nobody ordered one for awhile as they kept a made sandwich on the shelf until it sold.....

[@JheriCurlJankins]

Mardi Gras/Lent is coming soon which means Arby's and Popeye's will be rolling out their fish sandwiches soon! I am geeked!

[@sonyafox3271]

Arby’s put’s out a good cod sandwich! I have only remember a couple yrs it was off but, they are back on it this year! I have never tried Culver’s, I hope I get to try it in the near future since, one is coming to our town! I miss Captain D’s, they had one where, I once lived and, Our pizza Chain LaRosa’s Out of Cincinnati, OH my birth place puts out a great Beer Batter Haddock Fish Hoagie with hand cut thick fries!

[@boohuffman5746]

The only way I have found to get genuine wild caught cod or any fish that is not a switch and bait or a substitution is to buy direct from fisheries like in Alaska that advertise it as such. One source I have used is Great Alaska Seafood where you can order direct online or even call them. Once you taste the fresh shipped fish from there you will know the difference and find it is worth the extra cost. They offer specials that come up thru signing up for their e-mail notifications and large quantity bulk prices. There are other sources in Alaska that do same as well, but make sure you are ordering fresh wild caught products from there.

[@martianmusicllc]

What's the link

[@rickmiller7884]

Popeyes doesn't claim to be Cod.

[@jngibson24]

I can't tell you the last time I had a fish sandwich but I am surprised Long John Silver's is missing from this list.

[@jeremymarsh1377]

Wendy's has a good fish sandwich when it's available. That's only about 1-2 months out of the year. McD's has reduced the size of their fish sandwich by 20% while increasing the price. I'm going to try Bonefish. Didn't know they had a fish sandwich like that.

[@MikeCee7]

The best value by far, is Checkers. You get 2 fish sandwiches for only $4.50 (& used to be only $3, less than 2 years ago) verse McDonald’s, costs over $5, for just one very “small” (& getting smaller) filet-o-fish square.

[@whirlpool1978]

I’m surprised that Long John Silver’s didn’t make the list-my most favorite fish and seafood place! But I also think that Arby’s is my favorite out of this particular list.

[@GotTheBestLigma]

Long John's chicken is good ASF too, that batter dipped stuff is awesome

[@tonya--7704]

​@@GotTheBestLigma The crab cakes are really good, too. And they're only $1each on Fridays.

[@Lancet711]

I haven’t had it in a long time but the Checkers fish sandwich was my favorite by far.

[@WNYXeb777]

The put a store across the street. initially had fairly inexpensive items. But they aren't very good - actually. Wendy's and BK are hit n miss usually have very wilty unappealing lettuce. Bonefish just closed it's 1 location, a couple aren't in my area. Checkers & Rally's are terrible How'd they get this this list. They are some of the worst I've ever had - Mrs. Pauls is better. . Fresh made Mickey D's are wonderful. Heard Hooters were good.

[@BrewBlaster]

I wish there was a Culvers in my area.

[@jamesboswell760]

@@thrownheatyou should change that as quickly as possible. Culver’s is easily the best QSR in the country.

[@amyrussell860]

I have 2 in where I live. 1 is run better than the other. And their fish sandwiches are my favorite.

[@markiangooley]

Maybe three years ago there were none in my part of Florida and now there are two nearby. They’ve done a lot of expansion but maybe they’re slowing down.

[@ahopjohn]

Culvers also has Walleye during specific times.

[@ayufever1978]

the wings ARE NOT the first things that come to mind when i think about hooters 😏

[@lonewolf82007]

what about fish?

[@RH-sb5co]

The BEST is absolutely Culver's 💯

[@RajiahJacobs]

Drat, we need a Captain Ds here, I’ve never ever heard of it until now.

[@robertpfrommer8871]

Culver’s fish cannot be beat. The only comparable if you’re lucky to live in the area come from Frisches, my fav from childhood.

[@diannemasters9435]

I have always lived in Ohio. Frisch’s has always been the absolute best fish. With the best tartar sauce.

[@mpetersen6]

Walleye Season just started Culver's 😁

[@vonniem6723]

I love fish sandwiches any time of year but especially during the Lenten season. After hearing praises for the Culver's fish sandwich, I tried it and was very disappointed. To me it seemed like it had been under the warming light all day. Have never gone back but maybe I should give it one more chance.

[@BarryKobayashi-sx4hy]

Culver's fish is my favorite! The only one better is their Walleye fish, which unfortunately, was only for a limited time. Hey Culver's! PLEASE bring back the Walleye sandwich!!

[@charlottereed8060]

Culver’s is the BEST!! I love their food!! And , yes, cheddar cheese DOES belong on fish sandwiches!!!!!

[@davidwallace2975]

Everybody’s got their own preference

[@humanitiestheproblem]

@@davidwallace2975 obviously. This one's hers. You don't have one though, as you're just a spokesperson for "everyone". Though if I were to read between your lines, you're stating your preference in a passive aggressive way, through opposition of her preference. Silly sauce.

[@hellhound1389]

Our culver's has become terrible. Everything is dripping with grease and burnt. It's so bad the place is barely busy anymore. I only go for the custard

[@ronica2623]

1) Culver’s, 2)Arby’s, 3)hooters, 4)captain D’s, 5)whataburger, 6)Popeyes, 7)Wendy’s, 8)checkers, 9)bonefish grill. Sadly, in my area we only have access to two of these and I guess it’s only once a year. Well, better for my health I guess.

[@tomn5880]

We've has Culver's, Arby's, MacDonald's and several others. We like the A&W fish sandwich the best.

[@KenMoore-y8o]

Cheese on a fish sandwich 😂 sick

[@hellhound1389]

That's the way I feel about tartar sauce or pickles. I prefer just straight hot sauce

[@diannelavoie5385]

To each his own. Cheese and tartar sauce for me. Hey, I love cheese.

[@randallshelp4017]

Culver's seasonal walleye sandwich is even better

[@andybaginski3195]

Culver’s Walleye dinner is the best. When in season of course.

[@hellhound1389]

While I would've agreed a few years ago now the food is always greasy and burnt. It's definitely not worth $12 for a walleye value basket

[@eddiebeaty8150]

Might just be the Culver's you are going to. The one near me is always cooked perfectly and never greasy

[@ilovetotri23]

I love a good fish sandwich. I do not frequent quick service restaurants, but I have always thought Wendy's was the place I would go for a burger. I guess I need to try their fish sandwich.

[@usernamunavailiable]

Their Cod was really good, but they went to Pollock.

[@jeepsanddragons]

Culver's is to die for as are Popeye's & Arby's Wendy's ties McDonald's, both beat Burger King . Captain D's is great, I'm not a fan of what a burgers . Checkers Rally's and bonefish grill not near me, never tried

[@YzzajIB]

Culver’s Pork tenderloin is just as awesome.

[@ScaryTerryCards]

While I am a big beef and meat lover, I always go for a fresh fried fish sandwich before a juicy hamburger. Or maybe both! LOL!

[@carolsummerfield5060]

Just had one for lunch today!

[@jamesschneider3828]

You didn't mention Long John Silvers but I'm pretty sure they and Captain D's are owned by same corporation. Both restaurants are similarly set up but for the year I lived in Colorado and got the chance to experience Captain D's I did prefer them over LJS.

[@sherrybaby68sb]

Miami Subs Grill has Arthur Treachers fish and chips and their fish is great

[@kevinweakley2852]

Loved Arthur Treachers, it’s been a long time

[@mzondi1970]

I have to agree Culver's is the best on the list

[@JustMeB729]

Culver's 😋😋😋 There fish dinner is the bomb😅

[@dogbarbill]

I've had McD's fish, and it's good, but damn it is pricey!! Some of the chains listed here are regional. Here in Oklahoma City we don't have Culver's, Captain D's, Checker's/Rally's, or Bonefish Grill. Long John Silver's has combined with A&W Root Beer, and throughout the entire OKC Metro there are only three of them. We used to have Captain D's but they disappeared, ditto for Arthur Treacher's. Never been a fan of Whataburger, didn't know they had a fish sandwich, I'll have to try it. Wendy's is good, wish they carried it year round. Burger King has one, it's okay but nothing to write home about. Our Sonic chain used to have a fish, but it was discontinued due to lack of sales. It's now 1:30am and I'm hungry after all this.

[@troll9682]

#1 Culver's #2 Arby's #3 Rally's Double Catch

[@How2s-N-Stuff]

I'm not sure if they are the same everywhere but Big Boy (Frisch's Big Boy in my area) has the best fish sandwich hands down.

[@curtisyoncis7880]

Culver's by a MILE! At certain times of the year they offer Walleye Pike sandwiches and diners. Not to be missed!

[@coryfox8148]

But I’ve never in my life caught a square fish, therefore, Captain D’s is my go to

[@mlt6322]

The only fish I buy anywhere is the double fish at Checkers. Get two doubles for $7 on the value menu.

[@rkirschner7175]

Love a good fish sandwich. The Filthy Oar Tavern. Cedar Key Florida on New year's day several years ago? Grouper sandwich was heaven. T shirt gets lots of comments too.🤣😺

[@karlbmiles]

I married into a family that does not eat fish. We went to Florida with one of the brothers and he was coerced into trying grouper and it became a religious awakening for him. If grouper is on the menu anywhere that's what he wants. It's a mighty fine fish to be sure.

[@hughjass1044]

Of all the ones mentioned, the only one I've had was the Arby's. I'm something of a fish sandwich snob and as such, tend to stick to the independents instead of the chains. I'm a picky diner when it comes to burgers of any kind and I don't like too many toppings which drown out the taste. Some of these look good, though.

McD's filet o' fish is the absolute bottom of the barrel fish sandwich. Greasy, lukewarm formed square patty containing 50/50 minced fish to breading ratio served on a soggy bun with a sliver of processed plastic cheese product on the bottom. And this was 30 years ago.

[@lars2894]

Lack of transparency is a big reason why people avoid fish products, including the ones you buy at a grocery store. The "switch and bait" and "artificial fillers" scheme is so common that you think you're paying for a $30 wild-caught Cod when in reality, it's a Tilapia farm-raised somewhere in Asia or South America in the most polluted sewageconditions and fed pesticide and feces ridden animal feed. I would NEVER trust any restaurant to use high quality fish, unless they prepare a live one in front of me + offer proof of sourcing from a wild-caught only supplier.

[@gingermonroe4153]

Wow, that's really spot on n very smart I'm applying the same principal t hiring home health Like do more research on someone coming t my home Have had bad experience just trusting folks know what they are doing Very smart comment prepare it right there n PROVE it was wild caught 😊

You folk ought to do a video about foods with fry coatings containing Sodium Aluminum Phosphate/Sulfate. Aluminum and people do not mix, as an orally ingested item. I type this because most places put Aluminum baking powder in their fry coatings as leavening, when it's not and never needed. If doing so has to do with the Code of Federal Regulations, then it is well past time for that to be ignored.

[@onemightymill]

Yummy! The may serve the highest quality fish sandwiches but whats in the buns?! For us at One Mighty Mill making sure all wheat products are made from stone-milled organic wheat is paramount. We created One Mighty Mill when we realized there was a systemic issue with how we farm and process wheat in the U.S.. For too long, industrial flour (and many other industrial foods) have been damaging our health and the planet. Industrial flour is made from wheat that's been grown with pesticides & harmful farming chemicals & then roller milled. This process produces flour from the shelf-stable center endosperm, but discards the nutrient-rich (but highly perishable) bran & germ. We are on a mission to fix flour by following a time-worn tradition of milling. We stone-mill 100% USDA certified wheat from our partner farmers so that our flour gets all of its natural nutrients and flavor.

[@gobbletegook]
