On today’s debut of “Fast Food Friday,” David sampled seafood meals from four popular San Antonio fast-food spots to see which delivered the best value during the Lenten season. The lineup included Fred’s Fish Fry, J Anthony’s Seafood, Laguna Madre and Sea Island Shrimp House.

Laguna Madre earned the title of “best bang for your buck,” J Anthony’s Seafood took home “best fries,” and Sea Island Shrimp House delivered the “best overall bite.” Each stop showcased a different take on fast-casual seafood, from longtime local staples to family-owned favorites known for fried fish, shrimp and hearty combo plates.
