<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I am not a super-regular consumer of fast food fish sandwiches. That\u2019s not to suggest that I never have them, though. The ratio is probably just something along the lines of, for every fish sandwich I have, I probably eat ten non-fish sandwiches (aka a chicken sandwich or a hamburger). That number may be off a bit, I don\u2019t know. I mean really, who charts what sort of animal their fast food meal came from? (As I typed this out, I realized that I actually kind of like this idea. So, I mean, I guess I might start.)<\/p>\n
Anyway, it\u2019s prime fish sandwich season, what with the Lent and so forth, and so all of your favorite purveyors of drive-thru delectables are either offering deals on their existing pescatarian products or coming up with new ones. Like this \u2014 the new Arby\u2019s Spicy Fish Sandwich.<\/p>\n
What you\u2019ve got here is the standard Arby\u2019s fish sandwich base\u2014 crispy fish fillet, shredded lettuce, and tartar sauce on a sesame seed bun \u2014 but you\u2019re adding a tomato slice, fiery seasoning, and diced jalape\u00f1os to the mix. And the result? I cod eat this every time I order Arby\u2019s. (Get it? Cod is a type of fish. We like to have a good time here at The Impulsive Buy, right?)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The sesame seed bun was pretty standard and bland, but it was soft and held up well. The lettuce was crunchy and fresh, but the tomato was a bit mealy. It still served its greater purpose, I believe, which was to help cut down some of the fieriness of this sandwich. And was this thing fiery? Boy howdy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
There is a duality to the heat here that stems from the \u201cfiery seasoning\u201d as well as the diced jalape\u00f1os. It\u2019s hard to say which packs more of a punch because your mouth is pretty much engulfed after the first bite. I will say, though, that isolating the two gives two distinct heats; the jalape\u00f1o (the fresh, bright green kind, not pickled) is an instant tongue-punch while the seasoning on the fillet \u2014 which contains chili powder and cayenne amongst other things \u2014 is a slow burn.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to know if this heat is too much for an average pallet. I feel like my receptors are abnormal and therefore unreliable; I can have Thai-hot and be fine, but other times an unassuming \u201cspicy mayo\u201d will be almost too much. I found this to be a perfectly acceptable level of hot, but I\u2019m not going to refund your money if you get it and can\u2019t take more than a bite or two. (Nor will I be shocked if you get it and you tell me that, I don\u2019t know, your two-year-old tried it and loved it.)<\/p>\n
What WILL surprise me, however, is if you get this sandwich and don\u2019t enjoy it. Arby\u2019s crispy, crunchy, light and tasty fish fillet is elevated by the spice, but it\u2019s never too much; the tangy tartar sauce and cool veggies counterbalance the heat in a delightfully pleasant way. It\u2019s a shame that this won\u2019t become a regular menu item, because I cod order it ever \u2026 wait, did I already do the cod joke? Hang on, where are you going?<\/p>\n
