Culver's Fish Sandwiches Are 10x Better With A Sweet And Tangy Ordering Request

As foodies, we've gotta hand it to Wisconsin. As well as being affectionately dubbed the cheese state, it's the only place you can buy the beloved Spotted Cow craft beer, and it's the birthplace of Culver's, which Redditors say serves up one of the best fast food burgers out there. It's not the only reason hungry folks go in droves to this eatery's approximately 1,000 outlets, either. Culver's honey mustard sauce is straight out of the top drawer, according to devotees, and it's particularly delicious when customers ask for it to be slathered on the chain's fish sandwiches.

Adding pickles and tartar sauce amps up this particular sando's flavor, but requesting the honey mustard combo takes it in a whole new — but we say equally tasty — direction. The sweet-savory dressing is made with honey and mustard (obviously), but it also contains a squeeze of lemon and a dash of spice (though the exact seasonings are left vague on the ingredients list). Fish and lemon is a classic pairing, but the creamy mustard and honey combo offers an on-trend swicy counterpoint to the crispy, earthy batter, while that hit of spicy warmth makes the whole hand-battered cod-and-bread combo sing. "Culver's honey mustard might be my favorite honey mustard of all time," sighed one Redditor.

Culver's has long charted its own course in the fast food industry, winning people over left and right with old-fashioned hospitality and food such as its award-winning ButterBurger, frozen custard, and its first-ever Signature sauce, unveiled in 2023 to a wildly positive response. It and the honey mustard (which many have tried to recreate online, with varying results) are among a wide array of saucy additions people can add to their Culver's orders.

They include Boom Boom and blue cheese — courtesy of Ken's — as well as a beloved ranch sauce that Culver's regulars like to mix with the honey mustard for a more unique sauce that would add extra richness to your fried fish meal. In fact, shaking things up is a common occurrence among Culver's diners, who go a lot further than just asking for honey mustard on their fish sandwiches. Some love to switch out the bun for sourdough on the chain's burgers, while others go wild for more unusual pairings, such as dipping the chain's chicken tenders into tartar sauce. To continue the seafood theme, we're looking forward to plunging several of Culver's underrated shrimp into a container of honey mustard.
