With the chicken sandwich "we raised the bar for what a best-in-class, high-quality sandwich should taste like," said Sami Siddiqui, president of the Americas at Popeyes. "We wanted to do the same with fish." To draw in customers who loved the chicken sandwich, Popeyes is using the same bun and pickles combination in the fish version. It's also offering "sandwich insurance" on the launch day. For an additional 15 cents, people who buy the fish sandwich and don't like it can swap it out for a chicken sandwich.

Just in time for Lent.
The best fish sandwich I have ever had was about 60 years ago in Columbus, Indiana. Nothing since has come close.
Virtually all fast food fish sandwiches suck.
Long John Silver was acceptable, so the bar is not very high here.
I have had awesome fish sandwiches in taverns in the midwest.
“Tastes like chicken.”
If they fry everything in the same fryer, pretty soon the chicken will taste like fish.
Many times, in the absence of a place to get a fish sandwich I would resort to Mcdodo.
Always a mistake, you forget how lame their sandwich is.
How it stays on the menu is beyond me.
Oh wait, they still sell crappy burgers too!
Looks good. Like a chunk of fish from some fish’n’chips.
Your combo sounds good, though as an option—otherwise they’d probably be limiting their market too much. Pickles of course are a classic ingredient in tartar sauce.
So you already have pickle.
Yeah, but if they are using their pickle and mayo combo from the chicken sandwich, they only have it if they keep the pickle.
I would love to try it!
No Popeye near you?
A Popeye’s opened close by. I am on chemo so I have not got out except for doctor’s appointments and treatment. I must send someone on an errand for me.
Sending prayers your way.
I went to a Popeyes once in Texas. It was like walking in to Mogadishu.
We’re wild like that in Tx
sandwich insurance sounds a little fishy...
