The term “fast” food takes on more meanings than just one.
Chains are constantly making improvements and churning out new and exciting items to try.
Items leave menus to make way for new ones.
Burger King
Right now, we are also preparing for the departure of many different items due to seasonality.
At Burger King, the Big Fish Sandwich is a catch all year round.
But, it adds a spicy glaze to the filet.
McDonald’s
March 23rd is said to be its last day on the menu.
So, it’s goodbye for now to the neon green drinks with whipped cream top hats.
We’ll see you next year.
Arby’s
With these three sandwiches all up for grabs, there’s plenty of fish in the Arby’s sea.
But, come mid-April it will have dried up.
White Castle’s Shrimp Nibblers
Shrimp Nibblers have been swimming around White Castle locations sinceFebruary 19.
White Castle
The Nibblers consist of bite-sized butterfly shrimp which are seasoned in batter and fried.
Tack some onto your order from now until April 20, or when supplies run out.
Otherwise, you’ll get caught waiting another year until their return.
Culver’s
The fish rejoined the chain’s lineup onFebruary 19in two different forms.
The chicken chain actually brought back two different pescatarian-inspired meals this year during Lent.
One is the fan-favoriteFlounder Fish Sandwich, in classic and spicy.
Popeyes
TheShrimp Tackle Boxalso surfaced in early March.
It includes 8 Louisiana-spiced and breaded butterfly shrimp, a buttery biscuit, choice of side, and sauce.
If history repeats itself, both of these fishy entrees will begone by around Easter.
Wendy’s
Wendy’s Thin Mint Frosty
The start of the year is a great time for many reasons.
The burger chain began doling out Thin Mint Frosties onFebruary 21to kick off National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend.
That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.
Dairy Queen
Dairy Queen didn’t forget about St. Patrick’s Day this year either.
Whataburger’s Whatacatch Sandwich and Dinner
Whataburger turns into Whatafish from the months of March to April.
OnMarch 4 this year, it released two Lent-inspired items including the Whatacatch sandwich and the Whatacatch Dinner platter.
Bojangles
Both include a wild-caught Alaskan pollock filet coated in seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
The handheld sandwiches the fish between a soft bun with lettuce, tomato, and tangy tartar sauce.
April 21 is the cutoff date to hook one of these specialties.
