Food Showdown: Which Fish Sandwich is the Best Catch?
We're in the home stretch of the Lenten season, and the fish sandwich offerings are still swimming around in fast food restaurants across the country. Fish can be a great alternative to meat, but when it's breaded, fried, and slapped on a white bun, this once-healthy protein turns into a less than ideal choice when you're watching your weight. But if you absolutely must have a flaky fish sandwich, which one should you reel in: McDonald's Filet-O-Fish® or Wendy's Premium Cod Fillet sandwich?
The McDonald's sandwich is the catch of the day! At 380 calories and 18 grams of fat, the Filet-O-Fish® beats out the Premium Cod Fillet by a long shot: the Wendy's sandwich is a bit harder to swallow at 510 calories and 26 grams of fat. The McDonald's Filet-O-Fish® also comes out on top in terms of sodium at 640 grams vs. 970 grams in the Premium Cod Fillet. If you're avoiding fried foods altogether, skip the drive-thru and faux-fry your favorite fish by coating it in bread crumbs and then baking it.
