archersangelit is currently lenten season & that means all the restaurants bring out their seafood offerings*.
i did not intend to try wendy's fish sandwich on tuesday, i was going to get their asiago chicken sandwich, but saw they had a fish sandwich & thought; why not?
it was pretty good; the coating was crispy (panko breading), the tartar sauce was decent & the lettuce crisp. but it had pickles, which i don't think belong on a fish sandwich (just in the tartar sauce). i do not like pickles to begin with & should've given them to my brother.
he had the taco salad, that for some reason came with a bowl of chill. i pointed out the the clerk that we didn't order it, but apparently that's the stuff they put on a taco salad now(?). when i got their taco salad years ago there was just a small amount of taco meat on it. the chili was way to hot to put in the container the salad comes in, but luckily he had also got a bacon, cheese potato & put some on there.
another fishstory sandwich; i had gotten one a few days before from one of the local convenience stores that has food.
long ago they had fish, but got rid of it. this is the first time they have had fish for lent since. you can put whatever topping they have on there that you want, so i got tartar sauce, & lettuce. the fish itself was fine, the coating was a bit crispy. the tartar sauce on the other hand was terrible. it tasted more like a dill dressing of some sort. it came in a little tub labeled ken's steakhouse (they make good salad dressing, usually, so i was surprised it was bad).
if you get fish & see that the tartar sauce is from them don't use it. or at least dip a finger in it for a taste test before you dump it on your fish.
*do not go on a friday. you will have a long wait & the stuff might not even be done.
