[Arby’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-jalapeno-bites) is bringing back its popular [King](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kings-hawaiian-fish-sandwich) Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich for a limited time. This sandwich features a [crispy, wild-caught Alaskan Pollock fillet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bojangler-deluxe), topped with cheddar cheese, tartar sauce, lettuce, and tomatoes, all served on a soft and sweet King’s Hawaiian bun. The sandwich is a perfect blend of savory and sweet, with a satisfying crunch and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

The King Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich is available at participating Arby’s locations nationwide until April 4, 2024, or while supplies last. The sandwich costs $5.49, but customers can also get it as part of a meal deal with a small drink and curly fries for $7.99. Arby’s fans can also enjoy the King Hawaiian Roast Beef Deluxe Sandwich, which swaps the fish fillet for roast beef, or the King Hawaiian Half Pound Roast Beef Sandwich, which doubles the meat portion.
