Fish Sammiches

[jhawks99]

It's lent and fish sammich season. Who has the best?
Culver's looks pretty good
McDs doesn't really cut it.
Arby's looks terrible. That tartar sauce looks like mayo and HCFS.

[MICHHAWK]

culvers is very good.

Eventide.

My 8 y/o granddaughter's favorite restaurant is Culvers. (Just shoot me.) I've been there a couple of times and while it's not bad, there's nothing particularly "good" about it. That being said, I've never had their fish sandwich and would generally never consider having one there or at any other chain when there are a plethora of Mom & Pop places here to get a fresh fish sandwich, but now I might have to. And, I can score a few points with her by agreeing to go there.

Funny story, well at least to me.

Way back in the 70's I worked for Mickey D's. Mostly flippin big macs and quarter pounders. One night I came in and they wanted me to fry the fish sammiches and apple pies. That was my job for the entire night, not even french fries. Just fish sammies and pies, they fried the pies back then.

Anyhoo, teenage moran 99 gets bored just frying fish sammiches and starts announcing "Fish Burgers Up" when I had a batch ready. After about 45 minutes of this, the polyester suit wearing, paper hat crowned, keys jingling stereotype of a manager appears. And he's pizzed. He is holding a fish burger and says quietly but sternly, "This is a Filet O' Fish sandWICH. It is NOT a fish burger. People out there are laughing at you." He rambled on about something but 99 was too busy chuckling to himself to pay attention. 99 did call them Filet O' Fish from that point forward and never had to fry them again.

fish sandwiches can go right back to whatever circle of hell they came from

[pdub]

If I'm doing fried fish, I prefer it in a taco or naked with 'chips'.

[TDub]

if I'm eating fish it better be fresh, and right off the coals.

I only like fish in very certain instances. The rest of seafood and the shit that scrambles around at the bottom of the ocean or flings its million little feet to swim...you people can keep that. You disgust me.

How punny is it that McDonalds calls it a Filet O' Fish?

Blind man walks in to a McDonalds where 99 is frying fish sammiches and says - "Good morning ladies".

I used to work at a Hardee's in HS. Had an assistant manager who ALWAYS pronounced the T in chicken FilleT.

So, some big ass burley looking dude...(Seabass from the movie Dumb and Dumber) comes in, orders a chicken FileT and he pronounces the T.

The assistant manager, didn't hear the dude's order and did his usual. "Chicken FilleT is up!" Hard on the T.

The big ass customer thought he was making fun of him, starts yelling at him, and threatening to kick his ass. The Assistant manager had no idea what was happening, had no clue why the dude got so pissed.

That was almost Darwinism in action.

for Fish...

I though the Arby's one was really good. But that was several years ago and may be a different iteration.

Isn't the BK Big Fish pretty good?

Dang, I thought I was a food snob.
