While a piece of broiled fish probably would be more healthy than a burger from a fast-food joint, this doesn't fit in that mold. Not with the breading and the huge glops of tartar sauce and the big fluffy bun. The Crispy Fish has 570 calories and 25 grams of fat. The carbs are also really high at 65 grams.
In the nearly 60 years since the invention of the Filet-O-Fish,
fast food fried fish sandwiches have become big business.
We tried every single one of them to find out.
- Popeyes Seafood Po'boy.
- McDonald's Filet-O-Fish.
- White Castle Fish Slider.
- Arby's Crispy Fish Sandwich.
- Culver's North Atlantic Cod Sandwich.
As with virtually every fast-food sandwich, the Filet-O-Fish isn't going to kill you if you eat it once in a while, but it's not something you should devour on the regular. "If you eat this product three times per day and don't diversify your diet, of course this isn't healthy," says Takhistov.
Pollock is the preferred fish of many restaurants, taquerias and fast food chains. As far as the nutritional value of pollock, like salmon, tuna and cod, it is a good source of lean protein and low in saturated fat. All of these fish are also a good source of vitamin B12, phosphorous, and selenium.
Wendy's Premium Cod Fillet SandwichThe battered crunch reminds me of an honest-to-goodness fish fry, and the flesh is white and flaky. The pickles are tart and crisp, evenly applied, and the tartar sauce's hint of dill adds a level of nuance that fast-food tartar sauce often so obviously lacks.
Believe it or not, the Filet-O-Fish is actually fish. McDonald's uses Marine Stewardship Council certified wild-caught Alaska Pollock.
The sandwich is wild-caught Alaskan Pollock crispy-fried to a golden-brown, topped with tartar sauce and shredded lettuce. ? Get two fish sandwiches for just $6 at participating locations. You can also mix-and-match the savings with its new Fish 'N Cheddar Sandwich.

The Deep Sea Double is billed as “Two breaded white fish filets, fresh American cheese, tarter sauce and crisp lettuce on a toasted bun.” The two fish patties are square and a little bitter tasting.
Take the Classic Roast Beef, and you'll find it's not terrible for you. It's only 360 calories and 14 grams of fat, which is pretty good for a fast food sandwich. There are also 970 mg of sodium, which isn't great, but it's not the worst you can do when you're in need of a quick lunch, either.
The Wild Caught North Pacific Cod sandwich is back at Wendy's for a limited time for the 2020 Lenten season. The seasonal fish sandwich features a wild-caught North Pacific cod filet with a crispy-fried panko breading served with dill tartar sauce, three dill pickle slices, and lettuce on a toasted premium bun.
Other popular chains like Wendy's, Burger King and McDonald's have fish offerings all year long, but Chick-fil-A's fish sandwich and fish tenders are only around during the time of Lent.
Yes! Fish will be offered at select restaurants for a limited time. Fin-tastic news, everyone: The seasonal Chick-fil-A® Fish Sandwich is back at select restaurants during the late winter and early spring! The Deluxe Fish Sandwich, with tomato, lettuce and American cheese.
The offer is currently available at participating locations nationwide. “Our premium Big Fish Sandwich is 100% White Alaskan Pollock, breaded with crispy panko breading and topped with sweet tartar sauce, tangy pickles, all on top of a toasted brioche-style bun,” an official description for the dish reads.
The Crispy Fish Sandwich (available only at the Silvis location) features a nice, plump bun; a delicious, golden-fried, extra-crispy fish patty; and bare-bones toppings of tartar sauce and lettuce. As luck would have it, the breading is delicious, which is great because it's pretty much all you can taste.
