National fast-food chain Popeyes launched a new Cajun fish sandwich Thursday and is promising customers will love their sandwich or the company will replace it. The Cajun Flounder sandwich is the fish version of the uber-popular Popeyes chicken sandwich that made headlines in 2019 for selling out across the country.
“After seeing the response to our Chicken Sandwich in 2019, we are excited to deliver yet another delicious sandwich to our fans that is sure to reset industry standards,” says Sami Siddiqui, President, Americas at Popeyes. “At Popeyes, we don’t take shortcuts on quality and strive to ensure our ingredients are the best of the best. That’s why we’re proud to be serving up the most authentic, Cajun Flounder Sandwich in (quick service retail.)”
The fish sandwich is fried and seasoned in the Popeyes Cajun spices, topped with pickles and tartar sauce and served on the Popeyes brioche bun. It retails for $4.49 a sandwich and will be available for a limited time. The company is also offering “insurance” on the sandwich for an additional 15 cents. The insurance means if you do not like the Cajun Flounder sandwich, Popeyes will replace it with a chicken sandwich for free. That offer is only available on Thursday, Feb. 11 and requires a purchase through the company’s app.
The timing of the sandwich’s release comes just in time for Lent which begins on Feb. 17. There are more than 30 Popeyes locations in Michigan with some offering delivery service depending on location.
