Arby's King's Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich Updated

Arby's King's Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich

Information technology's that time of the yr folks – seafood season. With lent and Easter upon us, fast food chains all rush to bring back pop specials – besides as release something new. Arby'south accept done both this year launching the all new Spicy Fish Sandwich, every bit well as bringing back the Crispy Fish and King'south Hawaiian Fish Palatial for 2022.

At my local Arby's hither in Salt Lake Urban center the sandwich is priced $four.49 ala carte. This compares to the Crispy Fish at $iv.29 and the King'due south Hawaiian Fish Deluxe. All three essentially contain the same triangular fish patty. Here'due south a quick motion-picture show of the regular and spicy Crispy Fish side by side:

As y'all tin see from the flick above, both sandwiches sport hugely oversized fish patties. The buns comically struggle to contain the breaded and fried fish. I tried both next, simply for the purpose of this review, I am focusing merely on the Spicy version, the new for 2022 dish.

So what separates the regular Crispy from the Spicy version? It'south a double whammy from Arby's, coating the fish with what they call a "Fiery Seasoning" and also a flurry of chopped jalapeños. What'south notable about these is the jalapeños. I was expecting canned or pickled, but not freshly diced pepper as found here; a more than pleasant surprise and immensely more enjoyable than the slimy canned stuff.

The fish fillet itself is also praise worthy in that there's demonstrable flaky fish, information technology's not a pseudo-mushy-reformed thing. That said, it lacks any really flavor, it's exceptionally mild, especially so when served with all the capsaicin. And practice note, this is a quietly spicy sandwich – those fresh jalapeños really do add some seize with teeth. For fast food world this is spicier than near. At that place'southward a pleasant all over eye that subsides to the dorsum of the throat, information technology doesn't last also long.

The sandwich is rounded out with lettuce, tartar, love apple and the laughably puny bun. Every bit you tin see in the pictures beneath, it quickly becomes a mess. The bun is no lucifer for the myriad toppings. If you're eating this one on the get – bring lots of napkins

This doesn't come close to matching the height's of 2020'southward Beer Dilapidated Fish Sandwich from Arby's, but nor is it horrible. The spicier than usual toppings make for a fun experience, but the fish itself is ultimately muted and forgettable.
