We’re into the season where you can find a fish fry any given Friday night without too much effort. It’s also the time of the year restaurants break out their fish sandwich specials.
Once in awhile, a certain commercial hooks me, and this time it was Arby’s 2-for-$5 fish sandwich special, so I ventured to the Eden Prairie Arby’s to give it a try.
I’m pleased to report that much like the commercial and photos, the fish actually does extend beyond the bun – although not really as much as pictured, but it is a decent-sized serving.
One downfall of fast food is that in order to be fast, sometimes they have to guess at demand and prepare items ahead of time. Mine obviously was made ahead because although served quickly, it was only barely warm instead of fresh-from-the-fryer hot.
The other catch: while 2-for-$5 sounds like a good deal (and it is, considering the usual going price), keep in mind that by the time you add a side item and/or a drink or shake, you most likely end up spending more in total than not getting the special. That’s just how the math works. They know that.
Overall, though, Arby’s fish sandwiches are a good choice if you don’t wait until Friday night.
