Our usual lunch was one of the crew would visit either the mom & pop Italian joint nearby for Italian beef po' boys or Burger King for their original "Whaler" (fish) sandwich. Yuuuuuuummmmmm. The current BK fish sandwich is an (obscene) joke in comparison.

I remember the original Whaler (or whatever it was in the very early
80s) well. I agree that their current fish sandwich is a pale
comparison even to their fish sandwich to a decade ago. Same with
Arby's fish sandwich. Now BK's original sandwich is a semi-chopped
fish patty but it is juicy and has somewhat of a decent texture and
taste. I don't claim to be a bon vivant when it comes to food but I
like to think I have somewhat of a decent tawte, if you will.

Burger Biggie killer off the Whaler (according the the Wiki) in 1990.

The only fats food fish sarnie of wich I am aware that hasn't morphed
into something totally off-the-wall different is McD's Filet o' Fish.

I like to get a pair of them, fries and a hot chocolate on a cold night
for a filling, enjoyable meal.
