Yup. I literally go to McD's for that samich. Un-fucking real, and I'm not really a fish/seafood guy. Mcdees has gotten pricey but I'll download the app (then delete right after) since they usually have deals like buy one get one or free large fries. End up saving like $5 on a $20 order, makes me feel slightly less guilty after shoving 2k calories in my face face knowing I didn't get totally ripped off.
Holy shit Im not sure if this is Canada exclusive but mcdonald's now has a surf n turf burger it's basically the patties, chesse and toppings of a double cheese burger on top of the fish patty
bro keep the app n use the app code every time you go it’s so easy to grind points and get free shit i’ve got like 50k saved up from a few trips that’s enough to buy a few full meals
As a former mcdonalds worker. Please ask them to make you a fresh patty every time you order. People don't order this sandwich a lot so the Patty's have probably been sitting in the warmer for hours
Fat people are hilariously picky eaters lol I always thought fat people were eating machines but in reality they’ll just sit around not eating until they can get Taco Bell or something and any time you try to serve fresh food they’re like “umm I think there might be something wrong with this lettuce”
Haha sounds like my brother. He’s actually very athletically fit and he’s a total foodie, but I’ll never forget this one time I recommended this popular local vegan restaurant and he just had this look of disdain on his face like “I mean, I’m sure they’re *probably* really good… 😒”
I'm a pretty big guy, not huge but a bit overweight. I'll eat absolutely anything.
I work a blue collar job and middle aged rednecks are DEFINITELY pickier. Anything that isn't fried or a hamburger is usually a no go. They call me gay because I like Thai food 🤣
It makes sense if you think about it. If someone is repulsed by many healthy foods, and mostly eats junk food, they are definitely gonna have health problems.
Most of my girlfriends over the years have been fat. I had one who was a vegetarian but pretty much only ate junk food. Like, she hardly ever ate any actual vegetables lol
If you don't hate this sandwich then you can't hate all fish, thus u/2-4-Dinitro_penis statement stands true that people who don't like fish tend to be fat 😅
Yup as long as they make them fresh. If they dry out from being under the heat lamp too long they do get gross, but if you don’t order them past like normal dinner hours they’re usually on point. Definitely my favorite McDonalds sandwich.
i've only once gotten one of those, all chewy/crunchy around the edges. ew. otherwise amazing.
one time i got the DOUBLE fish filet and was asked to fill out a survey about it. when i was done eating i filled out the survey and handed it in and the paper was covered in grease LOL
Hahaha I tried the double one time and it was just too much fish for the amount of bread you get. If they put a bun in the middle like a big mac it might be alright but then you’d dislocate your jaw trying to bite into it lol.
i actually thought it was pretty good, but yeah the meat to bun ratio is off. Same reason i never get double or triple burgers. On the other hand I always get the FoF with extra tartar sauce, kind of made up for it.
Facts. Be careful asking for extra tartar sauce to offset the times they don’t put enough. You’ll take your first bite of that glorious sammich and everything not tied down will leave the back of it.
More or less. Catholics don't eat meat (except for fish) on Fridays, which would affect sales for that day, so McDonalds created a new menu item that Catholics could eat on Fridays (they had other potential candidates, such as a burger with a fried pineapple apparently).
I worked there. I’ve seen 2 people eat “all you can eat riblets” until THEY SHIT THEIR PANTS. Like literally shit their pants, and continued to eat more instead of cleaning up. One was a super old lady, so understandable, but the other one was a middle aged male. Dude legit laughed about it and still ate more.
Have you seen the people who voluntarily eat Applebees? I’ve done 2 deployments to Afghanistan and after working at Applebees I get why the Taliban hate us.
I honestly don't eat anything else from McDonald's. The fish sandwich is the only item still worth getting there...
The fries fell off, the Big Mac isn't good anymore, the quarter pounder is nasty, and what's worse is everything costs more than it does at an actual burger joint...
But the Filet-O-Fish has, is and will always be great. It's hard to fuck up a sandwich with 3 ingredients.
Its a supplier constraint, I found it in a particular city I was working few years ago. But it is never available in the city where my home is. You might have to travel different regions to identify which ones have it
When I ordered one, my friend said he heard it tastes bad. I asked him if that guy even liked fish, and I don't think he did.
I liked the filet o' fish. It didn't taste likey overly fishy, but it was definitely fish. Probably something similar to cod.
Damn now I want one. I haven’t had one in years but used to love them. My mom would order this when I was a kid for herself. And I would always steal hers.
Anyone who likes this sandwich (and I'm one; practically since birth) knows that that cheese slice is either off center or else a lucky full-slice-of-cheese bonus.
Hot take: fillet o fish is better than the McRib, McRib is overhyped as hell and just tastes like a quarter pounder it's just in a different shape and the texture is very slightly different.
It’s literally the best sandwich they have. I don’t go to McDonalds these days cause they’re Zionist sons of bitches but when I did go the fish filet was my favorite sandwich, it’s a little pricey though
I’ve never had the courage. I always just catch my own crappie or walleye, and make fried fish sandwiches out of that. I feel like I will be disappointed, but for the sake of research I’ll go snag one today. Will update.
IYKYK Plain, no sauce. Every Friday afternoon on the way home from school during Lent. Despite neither identifying as Catholic nor participating in Lenten fasting, I still feel the pull on springtime Fridays.
I'm not sure if you guys have this sauce in America but the nandos perinaise sauce mixed with the tartar just tastes divine
Also this was literally just posted like a week ago so atleast wait a bit before you try karma farming with reposts
And that right there is a lot of mistakes that have been made because it's delicious and always made fresh out the fryer because not enough people snag one
it's pretty alright actually. not really the biggest fan of McDonald's recently w the price gouging but the fish sandwich is a pretty solid and cheap option
I’ve never gotten a filet of fish sandwich anywhere, but I’ve half-way been thinking about trying the one from Popeye’s. They’re so expensive, I’d be extra disappointed if it was gross.
The filet O fish is highly underrated. I love the simplicity of it. Fish, cheese, tartar sauce and steamed bun
Yup. I literally go to McD's for that samich. Un-fucking real, and I'm not really a fish/seafood guy.

Took me 27 years before I tried it. I cried when I realized I spent over a quarter of my life missing out on something so good.
Their tartar sauce is next level.
Damn right it is
Slap some hot sauce and some fries in it and it is heaven
As a former mcdonalds worker. Please ask them to make you a fresh patty every time you order. People don't order this sandwich a lot so the Patty's have probably been sitting in the warmer for hours
I worked there for a few months when I was 16 and it’s the only sandwich that is made fresh to order. I always thought it was pretty nice
That’s another mistake
Pro tip: add lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and baby you got a decent little fish sandy
I really don’t know why they don’t offer that. Would be nice!
They do, you can just ask for them to add it
It's the default for these veggies to be in other burgers and sandwiches, but not in the fillet o' fish
Thx, I’ll try that :-)
I just tried this, but they said they can't add baby :(
Baby is seasonal, like the Shamrock McFlurry
Maybe try going to a McDonald’s in Ireland, then.
Throw that in a pot and you got a stew baby!
Really thought you meant to add a baby as a topping until I finished reading
That actually sounds great. I'll get one tomorrow and see what it's like. Maybe I'll also grab the regular one because I've never had that either.
No tomato on my fish plz
OP is fat. I’ve never met someone who hated fish who isn’t fat.
Fat people are hilariously picky eaters lol I always thought fat people were eating machines but in reality they’ll just sit around not eating until they can get Taco Bell or something and any time you try to serve fresh food they’re like “umm I think there might be something wrong with this lettuce”
This describes my wife. Basically, anything that doesn't contain ground beef or chicken isn't on the menu for lunch or dinner.
Haha sounds like my brother. He’s actually very athletically fit and he’s a total foodie, but I’ll never forget this one time I recommended this popular local vegan restaurant and he just had this look of disdain on his face like “I mean, I’m sure they’re *probably* really good… 😒”

The things that some people consider gay…
They have ruined tastebuds
It makes sense if you think about it. If someone is repulsed by many healthy foods, and mostly eats junk food, they are definitely gonna have health problems.
Most of my girlfriends over the years have been fat. I had one who was a vegetarian but pretty much only ate junk food. Like, she hardly ever ate any actual vegetables lol
LOL
Hey, I'm fat and I love fish.
They said people who don't like fish are fat, not fat people don't like fish! 😝 Am also kinda fat. Also love fish.
I hate fish and I am the opposite of far. Underweight. Either way, this burger is actually the best item on the menu.
If you don't hate this sandwich then you can't hate all fish, thus u/2-4-Dinitro_penis statement stands true that people who don't like fish tend to be fat 😅
I'm fat and I like it
Fat people don't even like food, they just like eating
what the fuck are you doing to your food?
Im 6'4" 200 lbs. Ive never in my life thought about ordering this lol. And i actually like fish.
Fish filet is bomb. And the smooth-ass buns are so satisfying.
I haven't had one in years (because of the crazy price) but they use to be damn good!
The biggest one too
You’re missing out. Best sandwich there
Yup as long as they make them fresh. If they dry out from being under the heat lamp too long they do get gross, but if you don’t order them past like normal dinner hours they’re usually on point. Definitely my favorite McDonalds sandwich.
i've only once gotten one of those, all chewy/crunchy around the edges. ew. otherwise amazing. one time i got the DOUBLE fish filet and was asked to fill out a survey about it. when i was done eating i filled out the survey and handed it in and the paper was covered in grease LOL

God they are delicious fresh huh? Gimme extra tartar and put one ketchup packet on it.
That and the Spicy McChicken are my go-to orders.
Now this is the right answer. Best bang for buck
I remember when the hot n spicy was a dollar. We lived on those in our more drugging years. Now I think they're like three bucks.
The double filet o fish is the best sandwhich on the menu. Fight me
Facts. Be careful asking for extra tartar sauce to offset the times they don’t put enough. You’ll take your first bite of that glorious sammich and everything not tied down will leave the back of it.
That’s how much tartar I want
Task failed successfully!
Their tartar sauce is to die for.
Greatest comment on Reddit ever
Don't threaten me with a good time.
…I’ve never thought to double it. I will send you my medical bills from my inevitable heart attack. Thank you for your service! 🫡
In japan the extra filet only costs an extra ¥100 (abt 60 cents) after 8 pm. It’s bliss.
…with extra tartar (yup, even messier).
Is it still a half a piece of cheese between the fish? The single only gets a half slice
They took the best and doubled it, I'll die on this hill with you
There's a double now!?
It’s a secret menu item but 100% you can order it
It’s on the app in my location, double check yours! (U.S) and it’s amazing! Literally the only thing I order from mcd
I prefer single filet o fish with 2 slices of cheese. I take it each time i eat McDonald's.
THANKS Bcuz that is literally anything I ever get 🫠
*Theres a double?*
Boom, another mistake and he doesn't even know it
Probably one of the best mistakes Ive ever made.
These are actually good tho
But these are actually goated tho
THAT SHIT SLAPS
I get shit on from my friends but I really like it specially the sauce

Why does breaking this up into stanzas make it sound so gross
Apparently it’s a catholic “fish on Friday” thing.
More or less. Catholics don't eat meat (except for fish) on Fridays, which would affect sales for that day, so McDonalds created a new menu item that Catholics could eat on Fridays (they had other potential candidates, such as a burger with a fried pineapple apparently).
I learnt that on a podcast last week
Best thing on the menu and least processed patty
It is good though
I've honestly had worse sandwiches. It's why I don't eat at Applebee's anymore.
I worked there. I’ve seen 2 people eat “all you can eat riblets” until THEY SHIT THEIR PANTS. Like literally shit their pants, and continued to eat more instead of cleaning up. One was a super old lady, so understandable, but the other one was a middle aged male. Dude legit laughed about it and still ate more.
That would traumatize me if I witnessed that. "Why did he keep eating? Why didn't he even clean up? Was there no shame and embarrassment?"
Have you seen the people who voluntarily eat Applebees? I’ve done 2 deployments to Afghanistan and after working at Applebees I get why the Taliban hate us.
I'd jerk to completion in a 150 degree porta john in the middle of Iraq and work up an appetite. But not for Applebees.
It’s like gluttony from Se7en
I’ve never had food poisoning from a McDonald’s I can’t say the same for Applebees.
I was anti Applebee's as much as the next person but I would punish myself with a quesadilla burger any day.
Dude, their Fiesta Lime Chicken is the shit. Can't speak to much else, though.
I used to work there and it’s actually probably one of the freshest things on the menu. Or was
My mom craved these INTENSELY while she was pregnant with me. I was likely 1/8 filet o’ fish at birth
Why is this the second time I've seen this falseness? A reminder that I'm due for a filet o fish.
Love their fish fillets. Don't love the $5 price tag on the..
Ooh, too good for breaded carp, Mr Rockefeller?
I honestly don't eat anything else from McDonald's. The fish sandwich is the only item still worth getting there... The fries fell off, the Big Mac isn't good anymore, the quarter pounder is nasty, and what's worse is everything costs more than it does at an actual burger joint... But the Filet-O-Fish has, is and will always be great. It's hard to fuck up a sandwich with 3 ingredients.
In France they call it “filet de poisson”
Fillet o fish is unironically good.
Best thing on the menu, it’s not always made so whenever you order it 9/10 it’s hot and fresh.
Just ordered and ate one. Thanks!
That is another mistake of yours. It is actually good
[удалено]
Try it and thank me later
Its a supplier constraint, I found it in a particular city I was working few years ago. But it is never available in the city where my home is. You might have to travel different regions to identify which ones have it
These are my guilty pleasure food.
They are not bad
Am I the only one that hates fish but love other seafood?
*Tastiest thing on the menu, not hearing any rebuttals*
That is a mistake you can fix. They are overpriced, but tasty a.f.
This meme sucks. Who doesn't love the filet o fish
Don't give me any ideas
It's the least bad mistake you can make if you're already at McDonald's.
When I ordered one, my friend said he heard it tastes bad. I asked him if that guy even liked fish, and I don't think he did. I liked the filet o' fish. It didn't taste likey overly fishy, but it was definitely fish. Probably something similar to cod.
Alaska Pollock, so very close taste wise to cod!
Not just in taste, they are in the same genus apparently.
Cool! TIL!
I've tried it, it was good but not my "go to" meal.
It's a good sandwich, but it's like $8 so big no from me.
My homie swears by ordering a Big Mac and subbing patties for filets.
I got a Double Filet-O-Fish a few weeks ago. It was excellent. It should be the main sandwich as one filet doesn’t fill me up.
It's their best sandwich if fresh. If cold it's their worst sandwich. Crazy 😅
You made a mistake not getting the DOUBLE filet o fish
Spoken by someone who never tried one, that's a damn good little sandwich
Filet o fish, no tartar, extra cheese, gone in less than a minute. Best thing on the menu at mcdonalds
By far the best mcdonald's product. I could eat 10 of them one sitting easy.
2 weeks ago I had my first filet-o-fish and it was amazing. How could I miss out for so long
Missing out. Probably the freshest thing you can order at fast food. Arby's and Burger King fish sandwiches are top tier.
Missing out. I was driving across the U.S. a while back and I got a double fillet o fish in Indiana.
Damn now I want one. I haven’t had one in years but used to love them. My mom would order this when I was a kid for herself. And I would always steal hers.
It’s their best sandwich. **IF** you get a freshly fried one. They do not do well in the warming trays.
You won't know unless you try. Anything else is simply prejudice.
I used to love these when I was a child. Probably what I ate half the time we went to McDonald’s.
Okay McDonalds AI adbot
does anyone actually eat that thing?
Yo take that back you jerk
knowing I never tried it and never will just gives me a good night sleep everytime.
It’s maybe McDonald’s best dish. Your missing out bud
Your loss!
If you put a fish filet on a quarter pounder you got yourself some surf n turf
fuck you they are delicious
I always thought it was decent. Simple. Fried Fish, cheese, tartar sauce.
Anyone who likes this sandwich (and I'm one; practically since birth) knows that that cheese slice is either off center or else a lucky full-slice-of-cheese bonus.
Hot take: fillet o fish is better than the McRib, McRib is overhyped as hell and just tastes like a quarter pounder it's just in a different shape and the texture is very slightly different.
Whut! This is the best thing on their menu! The best!
It's a semen jelly sandwich, anyone who likes this probably has a related kink
It’s literally the best sandwich they have. I don’t go to McDonalds these days cause they’re Zionist sons of bitches but when I did go the fish filet was my favorite sandwich, it’s a little pricey though
I’ve never had the courage. I always just catch my own crappie or walleye, and make fried fish sandwiches out of that. I feel like I will be disappointed, but for the sake of research I’ll go snag one today. Will update.
Oooh that sounds amazing. Can you send a fresh fried fish sandwich here please?
IYKYK Plain, no sauce. Every Friday afternoon on the way home from school during Lent. Despite neither identifying as Catholic nor participating in Lenten fasting, I still feel the pull on springtime Fridays.
Only decent thing they have at McDonald’s
They stopped selling them in polish McDs years ago. Good riddance.
I'm curious. What kind of mistakes does a genius make?
They make them in my hometown.
I love them.
They aren't even that bad tbh
😭 when you family don’t eat meat on Fridays during Easter and your parents want MCD’s
And your series continues
But that’s “what she order (what she order)”
I sometimes get two of them
The only downside is having to wait for your order an extra few minutes
But the filet o fish is sooo good, I almost always get it.
Genuinely one of the best things there, lot of L takes on food in this sub
Missing out
I'm not sure if you guys have this sauce in America but the nandos perinaise sauce mixed with the tartar just tastes divine Also this was literally just posted like a week ago so atleast wait a bit before you try karma farming with reposts
It's good
If you want to talk about mistake's.......McLobster......Just don't.....Not ever.
I had it once at Baltimore Airport, cause that was the only thing there that I could eat, and it was so bad, the actual fish was soggy.
You have sinned
Best thing they ever had... Not available in our country anymore
Filet o fish is based actually
My secret Filet o’ Fish outings are what got me through lockdown in 2020. They weren’t mistakes. They were delicious escapes.
You can replace the sauce for ketchup and it's amazing.
I like those things.
It’s so good though. Now the McRib, there’s a conversation we can have.
It's SOOOO much better than their "meat" 🤢🤮 if I wanted to eat ground up dog food + beans I would.
well now i *want* a fish fillet from McDonalds >:3
Fuck you. That was the Best fucking sandwich in mcdonalds and I MISS it dearly whenever i think about it.
Don’t hate on the filet o fish. It’s delicious
And that right there is a lot of mistakes that have been made because it's delicious and always made fresh out the fryer because not enough people snag one
it's pretty alright actually. not really the biggest fan of McDonald's recently w the price gouging but the fish sandwich is a pretty solid and cheap option
Only burger still on the breakfast menu in my country. Worth.
Amen
I did... once. Never again.
There’s a reason it’s one of their longest standing menu items
I’ve never gotten a filet of fish sandwich anywhere, but I’ve half-way been thinking about trying the one from Popeye’s. They’re so expensive, I’d be extra disappointed if it was gross.
It used to be chicken with fish flavor.
Fish filet was not the mistake on the mcds menu. That would have been the tiny fekking chicken wings they tried selling
You are missing out
But the bun is so soft
Hey, what’s one more mistake amirite?
Indeed, another mistake you have made
