Chick-Fil-A Begins Offering Fish Sandwich for Lent
By Sara Shaw • March 7, 2019
Yesterday marked the beginning of Lent and Chick-Fil-A brought back the cod sandwich to its menu at select locations, as well as boxed two- and three-count fish entrees along with fries. The meal will be offered through April 20—the day before Easter.
Chick-Fil-A has been serving this pescatarian option since 2015 in select locations. And it has built up something of a cult following, much like McDonald’s McRib sandwich, which only shows up on the menu occasionally. McDonald’s has its own Lent-friendly option with the Filet-O-Fish, which made its debut in the 1960s when the chain noticed sales dipping during Lent.
