For anyone looking for a fantastic fish sandwich, Habit Burger & Grill should be on your list of places to eat leading up to April 28, 2026. The fast-food restaurant launched its Baja Crispy Fish Sandwich in February, and it’s fantastic.

The rollout was tied to a seasonal seafood push, combined with a Friday promotion running through Lent season. This means it’s a limited-time menu item, and for anyone interested, it’s only available at participating restaurants.

The sandwich packs a beer-battered wild Alaskan cod fillet with cilantro lime coleslaw, pickled red onions, and Baja sauce, all on a toasted brioche bun. What makes it so tasty is that the combination of Baja sauce, which has a mild kick to it, the pickled red onion, and lime elements gives it a very surprising taste. One that’s memorable.

The pricing varies nationwide, ranging from $10 to $11.19. We’ve seen it at around $14 on food delivery services.

For anyone on a health kick, the sandwich is 590 calories, which is far less than what I expected considering how juicy it was. Other nutritional information is currently unavailable.

For those who are unfamiliar with Habit Burger & Grill, it’s a brand that traces its roots to Southern California. It was founded in 1969, and the company describes itself as a fast-casual chain. It currently has nearly 400 restaurants across 15 states, plus 14 food trucks.

WhatNow reported that the chain also used this launch to introduce “Fish Fridays,” a limited Friday deal tied to the sandwich. Habit’s press release said guests could get free fries with the purchase of a Baja Crispy Fish Sandwich on Fridays through March 27 at participating locations, with some side substitutions allowed.

If you are looking to order this sandwich, double-check that your local store’s menu is participating and consider picking one up on a Friday for the free fries.
