\"Arby<\/p>\n

What is Arby’s Fish ‘N Cheddar Sandwich?<\/h3>\n

\u201cWE HAVE THE FISH,\u201d declares Arby\u2019s new Fish ‘N Cheddar Sandwich wrapper. <\/p>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

I guess it does because Arby’s has THREE limited time fish sandwich options: the Crispy Fish Sandwich (crispy fish, tartar sauce, lettuce, sesame seed bun), Fish N\u2019 Cheddar (crispy fish, cheddar cheese sauce, tartar sauce, lettuce sesame seed bun), and the King\u2019s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich (crispy fish, cheddar cheese, tartar sauce, lettuce, tomatoes on a King\u2019s Hawaiian bun). <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen the Crispy Fish and the King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe before, but not the Fish N\u2019 Cheddar. But let\u2019s be real. It\u2019s basically the crispy fish sandwich with cheddar cheese sauce. <\/p>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

Arby\u2019s also boldly declares that the fish lineup is \u201cHang Off The Bun Huge.” As someone who lived in Indiana and has experienced a Pork Tenderloin sandwich, which is known for the meat outsizing the bun, I can appreciate this. <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

If the meat is going to outsize the bun, it better be dang good. Unfortunately, in this case, the fish wasn\u2019t. The flavor was fine, but the texture was its downfall. To be fair, it wasn\u2019t like a soggy wet nap, but it simply didn\u2019t have that desirable deep-fried crunch.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, they were way too fair on the breading-to-fish ratio. I wouldn\u2019t have been upset if Arby’s skimped just a bit to make the breading a smidge more robust to create a delicious, crispy exterior. <\/p>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

Now on to what makes the sandwich \u201cnew\u201d — the cheddar cheese sauce. This sauce was basically a less liquid-y nacho cheese. I concluded that even though it provides a more favorable melted texture than a square of American cheese, its flavor doesn\u2019t complement the rest of the sandwich. <\/p>\n

Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n
\"Arby
Fish ‘N Cheddar (left) Filet-O-Fish (right)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I ate this side-by-side with McDonald\u2019s Filet-O-Fish. Arby\u2019s offering was bigger, wasn\u2019t doused in tartar sauce, and contained iceberg lettuce and cheese sauce, but these differences didn\u2019t really give it an edge over the Filet-O-Fish and is not worth the extra couple of bucks. <\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

I would pick the Filet-O-Fish over this any day. If Arby\u2019s brought back its Nashville Hot Fish Sandwich<\/a>, I may consider making it my fast food fish fix. But, when it comes to a basic fried fish sandwich, I prefer the McDonald’s classic. <\/p>\n
