Catholics who are observing Lent, plus chefs and food reviewers, reveal some of their favorite fish sandwiches at fast-food restaurants around the country.

The Filet-O-Fish isn’t the best-tasting fried fish sandwich out there, but I get the appeal. There is a certain purity to the flavor: the pollock is clean, the breading is flaky, the tartar sauce is tangy and heavy on the relish, and the American cheese accentuates the creaminess of the sauce while adding a salty top note to everything.

Whether you are fasting for Lent or just enjoying a breaded, fried seafood treat, here are our results from the head-to-head fish sandwich competition.
