The Best Fast Food Fish Sandwiches, Ranked – My Take!

When it comes to fast food fish sandwiches, there are plenty of options out there, but let’s be honest—some are way better than others. Whether you’re a seafood lover, observing Lent, or just looking for a break from burgers, here’s my personal ranking of the best fast food fish sandwiches.

1. McDonald’s Filet-O-FishThe Gold Standard

There’s a reason the Filet-O-Fish has been around since the ‘60s—it’s a classic. The soft, steamed bun, crispy fish fillet, tangy tartar sauce, and just the right amount of melty cheese come together in perfect harmony. It’s simple, it’s nostalgic, and no other fast-food fish sandwich quite matches its balance of flavors.

2. Culver’s North Atlantic Cod SandwichFresh & Flavorful

Culver’s does fast food a little differently, and their cod sandwich is proof of that. The filet is hand-battered and cooked fresh, giving it a real-deal seafood feel. Served on a buttered roll with lettuce, tartar sauce, and cheese, it’s a bit more elevated than your average fast-food fish sandwich.

3. Wendy’s Crispy Panko Fish SandwichA Solid Runner-Up

Wendy’s upgraded their fish sandwich game with a panko-breaded Alaskan pollock fillet, and it’s definitely a step in the right direction. The panko crust gives it a nice crunch, and the lettuce and tartar sauce add the right amount of freshness. It’s not as iconic as the Filet-O-Fish, but it’s a solid pick.

4. Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Fish DeluxeA Sweet Surprise

Arby’s take on the fish sandwich comes with a crispy fish filet, lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce, all on a slightly sweet King’s Hawaiian bun. The fish itself is decent, but the bun really steals the show. It’s a bit on the larger side, so if you’re looking for something more substantial, this one’s worth a try.

Honorable Mention: Burger King’s Big Fish

It’s okay. It exists. But compared to the competition, it just doesn’t have the same crispy, flavorful appeal. If it’s the only option around, it’ll do in a pinch—but you’re better off heading to McDonald’s.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, the Filet-O-Fish still reigns supreme. It’s the perfect mix of crispy, creamy, and nostalgic, and no other fast food fish sandwich quite hits the same. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just looking to try something different, you can never go wrong with this classic.
