is the filet o fish actually any good? ive heard mixed opinions, some said that its really good and some said that it’s atrocious
>>
It's consistently delicious. Best bun in McDonaldland as well. The double is quite nice as well, but if I'm that hungry I prefer to get two singles. The bun/fish/tartare/cheese ratio is just right with the OG McFoF
>>
They claim to use decent fish (blue grenadier in aus) but I wouldn't trust a fucking thing those faggots say or what they do to it.
>>
>>20936361
not really but I have a craving once in awhile. always have to have it with a coke
>>
>>20936367
I don't care if it's blue grenadier or flake, it's good. and it's not processed at least, at least you know if's an actual flakey slice of fish.
>>
>>20936361
When I get a craving for a mcfishwich I just bung a couple of fish fingers in the frypan and wizard meself up a nice fish finger sandwich with kewpie and lettuce. It's well peng bruv

Had one recently, it's mediocre. Not bad, but overrated.

For me, it's the Filet-O-Fish. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra tartar sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.
One time I asked for tartar sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".
Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.
I even dip my fries in tartar sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.
>>
It's best when it's hot and fresh. The patty needs to be hot and crispy, and the steam from the makes the bread very soft in the box. I don't think the cheese and tartar are necessary, but they're not bad. I'll often get it with just mayo.

Best time to get them in the States is during Lent, because they sell more of them so they're usually fresher.

When I was younger I recoiled at the idea of a fish sandwich from McDonald's but I still remember the first time I had it circa 2002 on a Friday when I decided to throw caution in the wind and get the Filet-O-Fish McDeal. Was it life changing? I wouldn't go quite this far but it certainly was an eye opener.

No, it might not be my usual or even a frequent companion in my car, but the Filet-O-Fish holds a special place in my heart. The soft steamed bun is like a heavenly pillow that holds a perfectly crisp and flaky patty of sustainable Alaskan pollock. The tartar sauce is impeccable with just the right amount of tanginess and the perfect creamy companion to the patty; it really does tie everything together. Cheese on fish? I wasn't a believer either but that slice of processed cheddar cheese, invariably perfectly melted like you see in the ads, is a magnificient addition. Possibly superfluous, I can't say for sure because I've only had one with cheese, but I have faith that the McDonald's creators knew what they were doing when they added it; they tend to perceive the gestalt of each menu item in a way that most of us simply cannot.

I am a fan of juxtaposing textures and I concede that the Filet-O-Fish does not have a contrasting crunch to balance the impossibly soft steamed bun and generous helping of tartar sauce. But you know what? It works. God knows why but it works, it really does. I sometimes alternate bites with their world famous fries, refreshing every so often with an ice cold Diet Coke that cleanses my palate and readies me for the next delightful bite.

For me, it will always be the McChicken. But when I'm feeling adventuresome or just want a change from the usual perfect sandwich, I go for the Filet-O-Fish.

you're memeing because you can go to the grocery store and buy frozen fish fillets, tartar sauce, and buns, assemble and microwave, and get the same thing for a quarter of the price, right?

you just can't recreate that bun. you can get close with the tarder sauce and approximate the cheese, but the bun will never come through for you
>>
>>20937039
I look at that picture, and I want to cum in that sandwich
I can't imagine eating it, I would be destroying perfection
instead I'd prefer to defile it with my penis and make that perfect beautiful specimen my bitch for life
>>
>>20937058
perhaps consider seeking help
>>
>>20937070
the only help I need is financial help to raise funds to buy a filet-o-fish for myself
>>
>>20936361
it's delicious
>>
fuck!!! filet o fish isn't available after midnight
what the FUCK am I going to do until lunch time tomorrow? you can't get it at breakfast, that means eight hours before I can visit my local restaurant and purchase my meal. this craving is insatiable, it might kill me
one thing I know for sure is I'm getting a double to make up for lost time when I can, assuming I survive
it's only one dollar more and you get two filets instead of one
to me, that's a good deal, because I like to save my money
>>
Do people actually think this is good? Or is this a meme?
>>
You have to buy the double, the single is just too little fish with the bread and breading
>>
>>20937133
Just put fish fingers in a burger bun with tartar sauce and its the samend4y2
>>
>>20937120
don't worry anon this forced moment of temperance behooves you, as you will find in the new day you will no longer harbor this craving. have a healthy breakfast of fruits and cheeses and pursue not the fass food

I find this varies depending on where you are.
It's always good at the McD near me, soI quite like it. The shrimp cutlet burger is great too.

I live in Japan, and we have it here. I assumed it was a regular McD thing globally.

>>20936361
When it's on, it's on; but if they're off by just a few missing drops of tartar, or if the cheese is just a couple mms off center, it is an inedible failure. My heart goes out to you if it's the latter.
>>
>>20936361
If you like the sauce you'll like the burger because it's so overpowering the fish is barely there.
>>
>>20936361
it's good but is in the same quality tier of food as the McChicken and I would not pay more than $2 for one
>>
>>20937179
iirc they briefly considered a release in murrikaland but doing so would basically use up the entire american supply of shrimp.

wish they would at least to a limited costal release, like the mclobster.
>>
>>20937699

Man, that sounds good. I hope they paired it with a buttery sauce.
...randem tangent, but a fried salmon burger would probably go hard. I need to make that one of these days.

I only recently tried it and it's a great sandwich for fast food. It's like a very delicious version of a school cafeteria fish burger. This uses the steamed buns so it's very soft. The fish patty is also very soft. What I also like is how not greasy it is, by far the leanest/cleanest feeling sandwich at McDick's. Yet it's still nice and hot and savory with a tangy tartar sauce.
Not sure why everyone rails against it. If I was forced to eat nothing but McDicks for the rest of my life, the filet o fish would be my main protein source.

Its underrated, not the greatest fish sandwich but I dont have a problem with it. Goes great as a combo meal.
>>
>>20937133
Oh it's DEFINITELY a meme. But the meme does have a nugget of truth in that is *was* a good sandwich from McDicks. Obviously it sucks now based on user posts of the shitty quality they are putting out now, but a decade or so back it was actually pretty good. I remember having one on a road trip and being surprised it wasn't shit like the rest of McDicks offerings.

the double filet o fish reigns supreme

few other fast food burgers match it's excellence, if at all
>>
for a brief period of time the old-school friday half-price filet-o-fish synergized with the first rollout of the mcdonalds app deals, and you could very often get 2 or 3 filet o fish, a drink, and large fries, for like $3, $4 max on fridays.
pretty sure that hasn't been possible for years though :(
my grandpa used to go to mcdonalds just for the filet o fish and when i ended up trying one, i adopted the same habit
every once in a blue moon you have to devour a couple of them
they kinda remind me of those old chicken little sandwiches from kfc in the 80s that they stopped making in the early 90s

I like them but I'm not paying $5.00 for one, the fish patty is barely 3" square.
>>
>>20937695
I've never had one, is the tartar like regular fish n chips type or different?

Fishburgers are fucking rank.

overrated for how many people constantly bitching and moaning about it being fish? People that don't even like fried fish but insist on their opinions pollute any actual discussion about this sandwich.

I tried this while visiting Japan. It was bland and cloying after a few bites. Needed more seasoning or sauce.
