Wendy's fish sandwich returns to restaurants nationwide on Feb. 14 for Lent.
That's right! The Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich, a burger chain staple, returns today, Feb. 12. This year's return date is more than a week early than last year's Feb. 20 debut.
A wild-caught Alaskan pollock fillet is fried in panko breading and topped with lettuce, American cheese, pickles, and creamy dill tartar
sauce on a premium Wendy's bun. Wendy switched from cod to Alaskan pollock in its seasonal fish sandwiches few years ago.
Third-party researchers evaluate wild Alaskan pollock populations in the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska for sustainability.
Wendy's estimates that only 15% of wild Alaskan Pollock is caught each year to ensure future generations have plenty. Even if you don't fast

Wendy's expects the Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich to cost $6.16 this year, depending on region. Visit your local Wendy's soon to try the seasonal alternative.
