Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Introduces New Craft Beer-Battered Cod Fish Sandwich

Carl's Jr. and Hardee's adds a bit extra to their fish batter with the new, limited-time Redhook Beer-Battered Cod Fish Sandwich.

True to the name, the sandwich features a cod fillet dipped in batter made with Redhook Extra Special Bitter (ESB) ale before being fried till crispy. Along for the ride are the fairly standard lettuce, tartar sauce, and sesame bun. Additionally, the Carl's Jr. version includes tomato, while the Hardee's version includes a slice of American cheese.

The flavor of Redhook ESB is described as "not very bitter in taste, maintaining a balance of caramel malt sweetness completed by spicy, citrusy hops."

New Redhook Beer-Battered Cod Fish Tacos are also available at dual-branded Green Burrito and Red Burrito locations. The tacos feature Redhook beer-battered cod fish, spicy Santa Fe sauce, shredded jack and cheese cheese, lettuce, and salsa, wrapped in a soft corn tortilla.

In case, you're wondering, all the alcohol in the beer has been cooked off.

The Redhook Beer-Battered Cod Fish Sandwich is available starting at $3.69 each or as part of a combo with fries and a drink starting at $5.69. You can find a coupon for $1 off any Beer-Battered Cod Fish Sandwich Combo at www.carlsjr.com/coupons or www.hardees.com/coupons.

Two Redhook Beer-Battered Cod Fish Tacos are available at $3.99 or in a combo meal for $5.99 (prices may vary).

Previously, for the last couple of years, Carl's Jr. and Hardee's offered a Charbroiled Cod Fish Sandwich (and tacos) around this time of year.
