Just in time for Lent, Krystal has debuted a new Krystal Catch fish slider.
During lent, many Christians swap meat for fish. To accommodate this dietary shift, many brands amp up their seafood offerings during the Lenten season. In the case of the fast food brand Krystal, the QSR has debuted a new Krystal Catch fish slider, which joins the brand's existing Crave ‘N Save menu. The new slider features a hushpuppy-battered fish fillet topped with tangy tartar sauce, served on a soft white steamed bun. For those unfamiliar, a hushpuppy is a savory deep-fried appetizer that's made from cornmeal-based batter and often served with seafood.
The new Krystal Catch fish slider is available nationwide for a limited time.
