King Fish

**King Fish**

King Fish is a regional fast-food sandwich offered exclusively at select Burger King locations in Casablanca, Morocco. The dish adapts the global chain’s standard fish sandwich to local tastes, reflecting Morocco’s coastal culinary traditions and its preference for bold, spiced flavors.

The sandwich typically features a breaded and deep-fried white fish fillet—often hake or cod—served on a sesame-seed bun. What distinguishes a great King Fish is the balance of textures: a crisp, golden crust giving way to flaky, moist fish, paired with cool, creamy tartar sauce and crisp lettuce. Moroccan variations may incorporate a touch of harissa or preserved lemon in the sauce, adding a subtle North African heat and acidity that elevates the sandwich beyond its fast-food origins.

Regional variations are minimal due to the dish’s limited availability, but the Casablanca iteration is notable for its generous portion size and the use of locally sourced fish, which ensures freshness. According to ReTubeIt contributor Pratt, who documented the dish at the Burger King on Boulevard de la Corniche, the King Fish is a “surprisingly satisfying take on a classic fast-food staple, with a distinctly Moroccan twist.” The venue’s seaside location likely influences the emphasis on quality seafood, making this sandwich a standout item for both locals and tourists seeking a taste of Moroccan coastal cuisine in a familiar format.
