The story
Daybird, the chicken-obsessed Los Angeles spot on Virgil Avenue, has built significant buzz for its American-style sandwiches. But it’s a seafood offering that’s currently stealing the spotlight. The menu leans into bold, shareable plates with a trendy, Instagrammable vibe, and despite the venue’s poultry focus, this fish creation has made a serious impression—earning the restaurant a solid 4.5-star rating.
According to Jack’s Dining Room, the viral $90 fish sandwich at Daybird is “the best I’ve ever had,” though he warns the caviar add-on is a “waste of money.” That single, distinctive caveat underscores the sandwich’s appeal: a standout dish that doesn’t need gilding. Daybird continues to prove its versatility beyond the fryer, delivering a sandwich that’s winning over even the most skeptical palates.

Daybird’s fish sandwich with caviar earns unanimous praise, a luxuriously crisp and briny bite. The overall vibe is one of understated elegance, where simple ingredients feel revelatory.
“This is one of the most hyped up sandwiches on the internet right now. It's a piece of fried cod, cheese, homemade tartar sauce with caviar. Honestly, Daybird has me in a mental pretzel right now — I was gearing up to just go in and roast it, but I'm not going to lie, this is the best fish sandwich I've ever had. The tartar sauce is insane, the fish is so juicy and crispy, the Martin's potato roll holds it all together. I will say this though: the caviar adds literally nothing, so it's just a waste of an extra $50. Skip the caviar and get the regular fish sandwich and it's a pretty good deal.”
