In honor of Lent, Joella's Hot Chicken is bringing back the Crispy Cod Sammie and Crispy Cod Plate to all 18 locations in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, according to a company press release.

The Crispy Cod Sammie, available now through the Lenten season, is made with seasonal North Atlantic Wild-Caught Cod that's double beer-battered and fried and topped with Sweet Vinegar Slaw, pickles and Bama White or Tarter Dippin' Sauce. For $9.25, guests will get the Sammie with their choice of one Southern side. The Crispy Cod Sammie can be seasoned with any of Joella's six heat levels: including Southern (no heat), Spiked Honey, Ella's Fav, Tweener, Hot and Fire-In Da-Hole (so hot you need to sign a waiver).

Joella's, based in Louisville, will also offer the Crispy Cod Plate, which includes two pieces of cod with Bama White or Tarter Dippin' Sauce on the side and one Southern side for $12.99. If guests choose to order their plates spiced with a heat level, it will be served on top of a piece of white bread in traditional hot chicken plating.

"This Sammie is a fun twist on the traditional fish sandwich and full of Joella's signature flavor and seasoning that our fans have grown to love," Joella's Chief Operating Officer Tye Pollak said in the release. "And new this year, we're happy to be able to offer the Crispy Cod Sammie and Plate all seven days a week at all of our Joella's restaurants."
