The season of Lent is here, and for some of us, that means no meat on Fridays. To help get your protein on Fridays, several fast-food chains have added fish options to their menus.

McDonalds will continue to sell the Filet-o-Fish this season, but has also added something new to their menu. Fish Bites are bite-sized pieces of fried Alaskan Pollack, and are available in three sizes: snack, regular and shareable.

Carl’s Jr. also has a few fish items available on their menu. They have the traditional Fish and Chips and the Carl’s Catch Fish Sandwich with two battered fish fillets, tartar sauce, lettuce and tomato. They also have added the Charbroiled Atlantic Cod Fish Sandwich with a filet of Atlantic Cod, tartar sauce, tomato and lettuce on a honey wheat bun. And right now at , they have a coupon for $1 off any size Charbroiled Atlantic Cod Fish Sandwich Combo.

Lastly, Del Taco has brought back Crispy Shrimp, available in tacos and burritos with either the savory secret sauce or tangy Baja sauce. Del Taco has also added the new Beef Batted Fish Tacos to their menu. These tacos are made with Alaskan Pollack and are available two for $3.
