I had the flounder sandwich last night. I thought it was very tasty.
I also noticed that Florida has increased the minimum size of a legal flounder this year from 12" to 14".
This has me concerned about buying more of their flounder sandwiches in the future. I also had their chicken strips (SUCKED and gave me horrible heartburn).
I did have a Culver's fried Alaskan cod last week. It was a thicker filet and also tasty. I'm not too concerned about the Alaskan cod population. Should I be?
So, I might stick with them in the future.
I did find this statement from Popeye's about their flounder:
"Our flounder is a responsibly sourced, wild caught fish. Our sourcing follows NOAA standards and goes through regulations to ensure we maintain the species. The population levels of our fish are above normal, and we don’t anticipate running into any inventory issues," the company told TODAY in an email.
