KFC Nashville Chicken vs Arby's Nashville Fish

OK.
Some of you may remember my thread some time ago about the KFC Nashville Chicken.
Chef reviews Nashville Hot "Chicken"
Well, ye olde Chef decided to venture into Arby's and try out the Nashville Fish.

First of all, the "fish" portions are actually decent sized. In fact, they may be a little bit too big. The fish actually hangs out of the bun, and with the tartar sauce they put in, it's kind of a tricky eat.

As far as comparing the hotness between the two, the Chicken from KFC was dramatically hotter. I didn't say that it tasted any better....just that it was hotter.

The fish wasn't in any sauce......more like kind of a pasty-powder.

The fish did have some kick to it. I did notice a couple beads of sweat trickling down my forehead.

Arby's puts on a little bit of lettuce, the aforementioned tartar sauce, and a Nashville Hot staple........a pickle.
KFC puts some of the chicken parts in a plastic container, drenched in some lava sauce, and of course....with a pickle.

I have to give the decided edge to Arby's for their performance.

Not only did it not taste bad, but I'm right at an hour after eating it, and I'm not terrified to fart as I was with the chicken.

2 toes up out of 4 1/3.

 

Both make me weep for my hometown.

 

Going to Arby's for fish is your first second mistake.

 

I'm with TigerVols on this. No. Just nope. And pickles are a Nashville thing? Not trying to be contrary, but that's news to me.

 

Pickles and ice hockey are Nashville's best-known icons.

 

I'm not a big fan of fast-food fish, but my wife is. And she was really disturbed when she went to Arby's and they didn't have the big fish sandwich. She said that was as good as any fish sandwich around.

(edit: Thinking about that made me crave a lobster roll. And I have no way of getting a lobster roll around here.)

 

Why in the hell did Arby's decide to sully their menu with fish? Blergggh.

 

Because they have the meats...of course

And ya gotta play into that whole Lent thing

 

My curly fries had an awful fishy taste on Thursday. Not happy.

 

Gimme two dozen Krystals instead

 

Damn right!!!

 

What the hell are Krystals?
