The winner of this taste test sold me after just one bite.
offer their own version of this beloved dish.
But which chain serves the absolute best fried fish? To settle that question, I recently tried the fried fish at five major restaurant chains: Applebee's, TGI Fridays, Bonefish Grill, Red Lobster, and Red Robin. Judging fried fish really comes down to two criteria: taste and texture. The absolute best fried fish develops a golden, crispy layer of breading on the outside while staying moist in the middle. I did take into account that doing this taste test at home put the restaurants at a slight disadvantage because fried fish has the best taste and texture when it's fresh out of the fryer.
Fried fish should also be a generous dusting of salt or other seasonings to round out the flavor. All of the chains I tried served tartar sauce with their fish, but I refrained from dipping so that I could judge the taste accurately. After all, most tartar sauces are so flavorful that you might not notice when the fish is subpar.
Here's what I thought about each option, starting with my least favorite and ending with my favorite.featured hand-breaded, fried cod fillets served with tartar sauce, coleslaw, and steak fries. This dish cost $20.39.While I appreciated the golden brown color on Red Robin's fried fish, the dish looked a little sad overall. The pieces of cod were small and they didn't have the sheen of glistening oil that you usually see on freshly fried fish.
