Popeyes seasonal seafood menu is back, and this time the chicken chain is including four new dry rub options to spice up the fan-favorite ala carte Shrimp and Tackle Box. Available nationwide at participating restaurants starting February 16, guests can enjoy shrimp, fish sandwiches, and a surf and turf option. But that’s not all! Popeyes is also bringing Fried Pickles back to the menu after selling out last year during Popeye’s Pickle takeover. Here’s what fans can enjoy from the new menu that just hit Popeyes nationwide.

Four New Shrimp Rubs
