As consumers continue to demand healthier fast food options, companies such as Arby's have been expanding their [seafood offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashburger-seafood-menu-items). The new Crispy Fish sandwiches include returning favorites such as the Original Crispy Fish and the King's Hawaiian Fish Deluxe. The former is a seafood sandwich that contains a crispy-fried fish filet, iceberg lettuce and tartar sauce. The latter features a King's Hawaiian bun topped with an Alaskan Pollock filet, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and tartar sauce. However, there is also a new addition for consumers who are looking for something a bit lighter. The Crispy Fish Flatbread features the same ingredients as the Original, but on a healthy flatbread instead of a sesame seed bun. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Healthier Fast Food:** There is an opportunity for fast food chains to offer more nutritious options to meet consumer demand for healthier dining choices. - **Expanding Seafood Offerings:** Companies in the fast food industry can capitalize on the growing interest in seafood by diversifying their menu options to include more fish-based dishes. - **Alternative Bread Options:** There is a market for alternative bread options, such as flatbread, for consumers looking for lighter and healthier sandwich alternatives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can explore innovative ways to incorporate healthier and more diverse seafood options into their menus. - **Seafood:** The demand for seafood in the fast food industry presents an opportunity for seafood suppliers and distributors to partner with major chains and expand their reach. - **Bakery:** Bakeries and bread manufacturers can develop and market alternative bread options, such as flatbread, to cater to the growing demand for healthier sandwich choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spicy Seafood QSR Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-fish-sandwich.md) - [Limited-Edition QSR Seafood Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-seafood.md) - [Spicy Southern Cuisine Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-nashville-hot-fish-sandwich.md) - [Breaded Pollock QSR Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiery-big-fish-sandwich.md) - [Panko-Breaded Fish Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kings-hawaiian-fish-sandwich.md) - [Crispy Fried Fish Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fish-fry-sandwich.md) - [Premium Seafood Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchfried-flounder-sandwich.md) - [Spicy Fish-Based Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiery-big-fish.md) - [Low-Cost Seafood Sandwich Deals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-surf-turf-deal.md)
