I tried and ranked six fish sandwiches from McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and Popeyes.
I was impressed by McDonald's classic Filet-O-Fish and tartar sauce.
However, Popeyes had my favorite sandwich.

Fish sandwiches are popular spring offerings at many fast-food chains, but which chain has the best one?

Every year, fast-food chains release fish sandwiches to coincide with the season of Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday. During that time, Catholics abstain from eating meat but can eat fish on Fridays.
