Your support makes all the difference.Chick-fil-A has again ensured that customers who follow Lent will have a menu options to order with the return of the restaurant’s fish sandwich.
Last week, the chicken chain confirmed that its seasonal fish sandwich - made with breaded cod fillets on a toasted buttered bun with pickles and tartar sauce - would be returning in time for Lent, which began on Wednesday, 26 February.
Lent, which lasts 40 days, is when those that practise Catholicism abstain from eating meat on Fridays until Easter Sunday.
According to the restaurant, select Chick-fil-A locations will offer the breaded fish between the 26th and Saturday, 11 April, with Lent ending on Thursday, 9 April this year.
In addition to the Traditional Fish sandwich, which was first offered in 2016, the fast-food chain will also be selling a Deluxe Fish Sandwich and boxed two- and three-count fish fillet entrees and meals served with waffle fries and tartar sauce.
On social media, the return of the sandwich was met with joy from customers who follow Lent as well as those who don’t.
“I love Lent season because Chick-fil-A have the fish sandwich option,” one person wrote on Twitter.
Another said: “Excited for Lent because that means the fish sandwich will be back at Chick-fil-A. Yum, best 40 days of the year!”
Chick-fil-A is not the only fast-food restaurant that adjusts its menu to cater to those who abstain from eating meat during Lent as Wendy’s, Arby’s, and Bojangles all offer fish options during the religious period.
