what's going on everyone welcome or welcome back to the channel it's Ian K where today i'm over
at popeyes because it looks like we've got the return of their flounder fish sandwich just in
time for the season of lent that's right so stay tuned because i've got the spicy version up next
welcome to peep this out reviews with Ian K stay frosty
all right fish season is officially under ways let's take a look at the spicy flounder
fish sandwich here at popeyes and already guys lots of crispy goodness on display
for you with this one i'm totally digging how this fillet is sticking out the bun
and with those pickles on the bottom right there i think this is going to be pretty tasty
all right so breaking this one down from top to bottom what we've got is their lightly toasted and
buttery brioche bun and underneath it it looks like a fairly decent portion of spicy mayo and
as we pan down you're gonna notice it's sitting very nicely on top of that crispy fillet guys
that wild called crispy flounder is definitely looking pretty awesome marinated in the usual
louisiana goodness over here and i gotta say very sizable of course it's taken up this whole bun
and then some underneath it we've got a couple of barrel cured pickles and if you guys are getting a
chicken sandwich vibe with this one you have every right to feel that way because this is the exact
same setup as you get with their chicken sandwich with that spicy mayo and the pickles but guys it's
all about the flounder with this one so there you go looking pretty crispy this is the all new spicy
flounder fish sandwich here at popeyes let's peep out this flavor yes sir lots of tasty goodness
with this one and again with the crispiness looking as amazing as this does right now this
is really taking me back to my initial review of their cajun variant that came out last year
i gotta say that was a pretty lovely situation as well take a look at that review that's popping up
on your screen here right now that version was their initial intro with this particular one
and naturally with that being tartar sauce and pickles it was a pretty lovely situation i had a
lot of fun checking that out whereas this version has got all the goodies from the chicken sandwich
so the spicy mayo and the same pickles but guys a lovely situation indeed and again the crispiness
is looking so so good on this and again that filet is really taking up his bun nicely so let's get
into this guys finally it's their all-new spicy flounder fish sandwich here popeyes let's do it
oh man already wow well right off the top i'm totally digging the mouthfeel with this
one guys i mean the light softness and the toastiness of the bun combines beautifully
with the outer texture and the coating of the flounder itself and speaking of the flounder
it is a very lovely situation on the inside nice and flaky this definitely feels pretty fresh and
when you dovetail right into the pickles the snap crunch and acidity goes pretty beautiful with the
light sizzle that i'm getting from that spicy mayo this definitely feels different from the
last time around but the heat is a little bit more up there and i gotta say the combination
is pretty nice but i gotta say while i'm not necessarily a fan of fast food fish even
though i've had some pretty good experiences especially the last season with some of the
fish sandwiches that i reviewed there's plenty of them spread out all throughout the channel
whether it's mcdonald's whether it's carl's jr i gotta say the combination of flounder is so
different and i'm so glad that they're doing this over at popeyes because it's not the same
usual pollock or that type of situation you would get in fish sandwich you don't see a
lot of fast food places offer flounder it's a pretty nice combo and when it's done as good
as this one is right now i'm totally digging it let's keep going in guys very flavorful on it
well if you've had the spicy chicken sandwich over here at popeyes and at this point who hasn't you
know exactly what to expect with this one with the exception of the protein of choice being flounder
so you're getting that same flavor of the spicy mayo and the pickles and of course the brioche bun
and the crispy goodness naturally but on the inside of it of course the flounder guys and
i have to say the flaky action with this one is very nice and i love the fact that
it's wide and sizeable definitely a lovely situation on this one presentation wise
and cross shot wise it looks pretty awesome as well i mean guys you're getting a very sizable
piece of fish on this one it covers the whole bun and i love the way it kind of flops off the sides
right there so it feels like you're getting your money's worth even though it's about 50 cents more
expensive than the chicken sandwich this is the same price point as the version i reviewed last
year but i'm loving the fact that the spicy mayo is so much more prevalent with this one the tartar
sauce is actually pretty decent as well if you decide to go for the classic that's actually the
same version from last year but with this one having that spicy mayo this is going to be my
go-to as this one is available because it works so much better and that light sizzle that i'm
getting is definitely a bomb situation let's go for another couple on this one guys pretty good
yeah so like i said i'm with me not being a super fan of fast food fish even though i've had some
pretty decent experiences over the last year or so i have to say this is probably my favorite
variation of it because again it's so different it's not the usual type of fish fillet that you
would get elsewhere but the quality stands out and again with that flounder action guys
i really love the way that it looks and you can really taste everything beautifully it's
got just the right amount of spicy mayo on this one and with the pickles a lovely
situation i would have liked maybe a couple of extra to be honest to kind of cover the bottom
but still what you're getting is super flavorful all right so let's go for one more bite in this
one because honestly i think you get the point this is a pretty awesome fast food
fish sandwich guys and again because it's flounder and it's made the way that it is
over here at popeyes it's only adding to the overall quality that i'm having right now all
for a little under five bucks not bad and again super sizable let's go for one more bite hang on
well i don't miss the tartar sauce on this one bit and chances are the last time this
was available you were probably hacking it this way anyway with the spicy mayo and guys that's
officially what this is on the menu now and i have to say it works very very nicely the
overall crispiness goes with the flounder beautifully and you'd expect that when
you combine it with the pickles on this one you've got a very solid flavor profile guys
so this is an easy recommendation by far you should definitely give this one a shot
so with that said i'm gonna have to give the spicy flounder fish sandwich here at popeyes a
pretty rock solid 9 out of 10 guys it's a very beautiful sized filet and that really sets the tone
for everything in this one and naturally with the crispy goodness on the outside mixing with
that spicy mayo and the pickles you're getting a very solid flavor profile it's not overly
fishy in terms of the taste but it tastes like a quality fish fillet nonetheless and again with
the flakiness on the inside this was made very fresh right now guys and i have to say the quality
was absolutely there so an easy recommendation and like i said for $4.50 same prices last year
not a bad deal all right so do me a quick favor drop some comments down below if you've had the
flounder over here at popeyes were you actually hacking this back in the day to begin with i
mean last year when this was first available did you put spicy mayo on this outside of the tartar
because that's really the main difference with this one in addition to the seasoning on the
outside of the coating drop those comments down below and definitely let me know and
