During the Lenten season, Christians are familiar with the changes in eating habits that occur during the 40 days leading up to Easter. While some may give up sweets or soda, the universal rule remains: no meat on Fridays. Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, I used to enjoy Friday fish fries with a delicious fish sandwich and pierogies. However, since moving away, I’ve had to find alternatives. Luckily, during Lent, there is an abundance of seafood available at grocery stores and restaurants in March and April.
Even fast-food chains offer fish options for a limited time. After trying various options, I found Wendy’s Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich to be the best. However, sometimes I prefer making my own fish sandwiches at home rather than going to the drive-thru. That’s why I stock up on Aldi’s Fremont Fish Market Pollock Portions, which are convenient and affordable.
Aldi recently introduced breaded fish filets as a limited-time Find, available in Original and Dill Pickle Style. Each box contains four frozen sandwich portion filets that are breaded and can be cooked straight from the freezer in the oven or air fryer. The white wild-caught Alaskan Pollock filet is perfect for creating classic fish sandwiches.
Priced at $4.99 per box, Aldi’s Pollock Portions offer a cost-effective alternative to fast food options. In addition to the Original variety, the Dill Pickle Style filets contain hot sauce and dill spices in the ingredients, making them a flavorful choice. Aldi also offers other seafood options this week, including unbreaded pollock fillets, Argentine Shrimp Skewers, and fresh Ahi Tuna Steaks.
Whether you observe meat abstinence during Lent or simply enjoy seafood, Aldi’s seafood offerings are worth checking out this week.
