The addition to the BK menu follows in the footsteps of a number of other fast food chains that have made their menus more pescatarian friendly for the Lenten season, which required practicing Christians to abstain from eating meat.
Earlier this month, Chick-fil-A strayed away from its chicken-only menu when it introduced the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The seasonal sandwich features two lightly battered fried cod fillets between a warm, buttered bun. It is topped with cheese, lettuce, and an optional lemony tartar sauce that “pairs perfectly with the flaky white fish,”
McDonald’s is also infamous for its seasonal Filet-O-Fish, their take on a fish sandwich that includes Alaskan Pollock sourced from sustainable fisheries, topped with melty American cheese and creamy tartar sauce, and served on a soft, steamed bun.
Wendy’s also offers a fish option for the Lenten season. The fast food chain’s North Pacific Cod Sandwich, costing $3.99 and ticking in with 440 calories, boasts wild caught North Pacific cod filet, crunchy panko breading topped with creamy dill tartar sauce, three dill pickle slices, and lettuce.
