Krystal has released an improved Crispy Fish Slider in time for Lent, and is debuting Krush'd Sodas, a $1 upgrade that transforms any fountain drink into a sweet, creamy treat, according to a press release.
Krystal's Fish Slider features wild-caught Alaska Pollock, fried and served on the brand's signature soft bun with pickles and mayo, plus optional chipotle mayo for a spicy twist. The slider is available à la carte for $2.99 or as a two-slider combo for $9.99 at most locations.
Krush'd Sodas bring a spin to the growing dirty soda movement, letting guests enhance Coca-Cola, Sprite, Dr Pepper or other fountain beverages with added vanilla syrup and cream for just $1 more. The result is a smooth, dessert-like drink.
"As spring approaches, guests start looking for lighter bites and refreshing sips," Kaitlin Kees, senior director of marketing at Krystal, said in the release. "With our Lent-friendly Crispy Fish Slider and new Krush'd Sodas, we're offering a seasonal pairing that feels fresh, fun and affordable."
The offerings are available from now through April 5 at participating locations, while supplies last.
Krystal has expanded to nearly 300 restaurants in 13 states.
