The Best Fast Food Deals to Grab in March

Spring has sprung, and just as predictable as daffodils popping from the ground are the fast food chains rolling out fish specials. March and April are the best months for seafood lovers, who have new options and deals to take advantage of. Since Wendy's has debuted nationwide breakfast, this is also the spring of breakfast deals as the other big burger giants hope to distract some of their customers with great deals of their own.
