Building on the success of its infamous Chicken Sandwich, Popeyes has just unveiled its latest creation: the Flounder Fish Sandwich. With its latest dish, Popeyes looks to reinvent the classic fast food fish sandwich the same way it did with the fried chicken sandwich.
Available just in time for the Lenten season, the new Flounder Fish Sandwich is a seafood-style take on the brand's hit chicken offering. The tasty new sandwich consists of a crispy flounder fillet paired with pickles and tartar sauce on a brioche-style bun. The sandwich can be enjoyed on its own, or as part of a combo with a side dish and drink.
The new Flounder Fish Sandwich is available at participating Popeyes locations across the US for a limited time.
