Fast Food Fish Sandwiches: All the Best Places for Your Friday Lent Meal

By BreAnna Bell

The avoidance of fish during the period isn't new, but fast food restaurants making moves at the perfect time allows them to capitalize on the fish boom during those meatless days ahead of Easter. Many places already recognize this and change up offerings each year.

Some places like McDonald's offer their fish options year-round, while other restaurants create new items for their menus for a limited time. There are tons of options at any highway stop or food court storefront you can come across in the U.S., but what's so special this year?
