While IHOP is best known for its delicious breakfast dishes, the pancake chain might just be your new go-to lunch destination thanks to the launch of the new Crispy Shrimp Platter and the new Crispy Fish Platter.
Perfect for the Lenten season, both of the new menu items offer a seafood tasty alternative to meat. The new Crispy Fish Platter features a crispy breaded fish fillet paired with French fries, tartar sauce, and a lemon wedge.

Both of the new seafood platters are available now from participating IHOP locations nationwide for just a limited time.
