As a teenager, I worked at McDonald’s in a smaller town that was heavily Catholic. Trust me when I say, during Lent, we could not make those things fast enough.

I actually love the Filet o Fish. I get so sick of burgers and of the onslaught of chicken sandwiches lately. I’m glad they have kept it all this time.
I worked at McD's and that was my go-to for breaks. I always made sure mine was fresh cooked, and used most of the tartar sauce for my fries. There's a seasoning they use in the chicken sandwiches that doesn't agree with me, so I skip those.
? I order filet of fish every time I go to McDonalds. I also have a friend who ONLY goes to McDonald to buy their filet of fish. So I am positive McDonalds sells at least 5 Filet of Fish sandwiches every single year.
The fillet o fish is the only thing I eat from McDonalds. The only problem is that the fish is never centered in the middle, it's always slanted and almost out of the bread entirely. Only once in my life has it been perfect but compared to the rest of the food at McDonalds, I much prefer this.
+Robert T Yeah, it can, but honestly most of us aren't that dedicated. We're just trying to shorten the huge list of sandwiches on the screen during a lunch or dinner rush. Actually, the off-center problem might be because of how we're trained to finish the sandwich by closing the box upside-down so the bottom falls onto the top.
I absolutely hate it but then again all seafood makes me throw up. Half the time I can't even deal with the smell of seafood without my stomach turning. I also can't stand the smell of seawater either. I've tried a variety of seafood and can say that I've liked only one thing, fresh caught mako.
The Filet-O-Fish is the only reason I will ever stop at McDonalds. When I worked there as a kid in the early 1970s they introduced a double Filet-O-Fish called the "Grand Mariner". Sadly, that trial sandwich didn't last. A few years later I was living in Germany when the first McDonalds opened in Munich. The Filet was offered there as the "Fisch Mac". You could order it with a beer!
The Double Filet is available in Shanghai - its awful. Burger King has also started selling Fish Burgers in Shanghai, they're even worse. In Hamburg, I don't think the Filet o' Fish was very popular as the people of Hamburg prefer their traditional, crunchy bread roll, Fischbrötchen: funny locals, these fish sandwiches are usually always served cold.
I've always wanted to order a "fish mac", a double fish patty made as a big mac with tartar sauce instead of mac sauce. I doubt any store would be able to figure out how to bill for it is all.
@@Oldbmwr100rs Sounds good! When I worked there we had to pay for any food we ate at a small discount - I think 20%. To save money (I was paid $1.75 per hour!) We made up our own discount sandwich designs. My favorite was a grilled cheese sandwich (made on an inside-out burger bun) with tartar sauce. I recollect it was 15 cents...
@@Freikorptrasher i think its region oriented, i used to work at Mcdonalds as well. BigMacs were sold through the fucking roof and back, fillet-o-fish on the other hand, we'll sell more then people thing especially on Sundays. But were talking 20-30 fillet-0-fish on a good day, ass opposed to like 150-300 bigmacs on a decent day. Hell sometimes its 300 bigmacs just supper and latenight lol
They should rebrand it like how crab sticks became seafood sticks so they can use more general fish rather than being stuck using the more known ones which have shrinking stocks. It's a shame fish farming doesn't work with the majority of fish due to migration patterns.
@@Ushio01 I doubt if the pollock stocks are going to be threatened anytime soon. Plus, you can't get more generic than Filet-O-Fish. BTW, pollock is also what crab sticks are made of.
I eat about 5-6 a year but when I have one, it's the *only* thing that I want to eat. Oh yeah, and always double patties. I'm pretty sure our bodies have their own agendas.
Never forget about the man named Ronald MacDonald who decided to become "Fat Mac" and live in infamy as the best karate fighter Paddy's Pub has ever seen
I hope they don't remove it, the fillet-o-fish is my favourite burger there. Been enjoying that sandwich since I was a kid. I will say that it did seem to taste better when I was younger, probably a different type of fish.
My step-mom had a ritual every Saturday when she and my Dad went grocery shopping. They would always stop at MD and she would get a Filet-0-Fish and a hot chocolate! Weird combo! My dad didn't like MD that much but would have a coffee and a pie.
Roger Rondeau It's my favorite as well.And a plus to it is that, while you may have to wait a few extra minutes for it to be made,it will be hot and fresh.
Something that I noticed when I was young and working at a McDonald's was that the fillet o fish also sells more when it rains. My manager had told me about it but I didn't take her seriously but then I started paying attention and she was right. Whenever it rained the fish was definitely ordered more than when it was sunny. I don't pretend to know why this happens but it certainly does.
It's the british heritage in many americans, it rains and they want fish and chips. Source: I'm drunk and made it up, but it almost makes sense if you ignore a bunch of stuff
@@alexandercope4049 honestly? You're probably half right, if we really think about it. Where are good fish and chips restaurants mostly located? By the seaside. Where the water is. Since water is where the fish is and all. Rain is just falling water.
when I was working at McDonald's I'd get at least 20 orders for fillet of fish a shift... and during Lent on Fridays out was literally the most popular menu item so we'd have to dedicate half the fryers to it.
Skyler Garza In my area we have fish sandwiches in the 2 for 5 menu. When the Muslims and Indians come in, its a field day. We can't keep them, cooking 8 patties at a time!
The worst I ever had it was when we had to dedicate the whole fry set up for meat to fish and start using half the French fry fryer for the chicken products.... We had a fresh shipment of 10 boxes in that day and we ended the night with one bag...
Actually, my family and I actually buy the fillet o fish simply because we like them. I actually was surprised to hear it was really unpopular for the first time in this video.
It's not unpopular at all. I don't know where this idiot got that bit of information but it's wrong. Maybe it's unpopular in whatever shithole country he lives in, but here in the USA it is it is a huge seller and also McDonalds has no problem getting the fish it needs in the quantities it needs. Not sure where this doof got his info but it's grossly inaccurate.
I love the Fillet O' Fishdude. My dad and my chick love it too. What's good about this sandwich is that since it's not ordered very often, they don't keep premade/heated patties on deck like regular beef patties, so when you get a FoF, you're getting a fresh one. Downside is, they only give you half a square of cheese.
Its true I worked at a McDonalds as a teenager and they make you break the slice of cheese in half for the filet o fish. Its kind of strange why they decided to do that.
Your about 7 months too late on that comment bud...as I made it when the video came out...you sir, are just unoriginal...Michael Michael 7 months ago Those buttons on your childs small shirt are barely hanging on...i recommend sizing up
The Filet-O-Fish has been one of my favorite sandwiches since the 70's, hell I'm not even religious but they taste like the Gods made them from Poseidon's personal fish stash.
@Not Tucker I eat all cuisines and flavors lol. My favorites are mostly asian inspired. We are eating local Red Angus Ribeye cooked on an infrared grill tomorrow that are the only steaks the Hershey Hotel serves. I only eat a McDonalds fish sandwich about once every 2 years for nostalgia purposes and they still are awesome!
you wouldent if u saw how they were made lol! i worked in the fish plant when i was younger and i cant say exactly "mc donalds" exactly but cheap fish cakes and cheap fish sticks are NOT fish lol!!!
Eastyy its nasty man. i would only eat it if i wanted sth for a change and i was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hungry. No offense man but neither the texture nor the sauce is good imo.
I just tried the filet o fish yesterday, and I was suuuper excited. As a pescatarian, McDonald's doesn't have a menu friendly to my diet, but our group wanted McDonalds and I was sure there was nothing I could eat until someone suggested this, which I never knew existed. The bun is simple and pillow-y and the fish filet is perfect. It has a great sauce, but I asked for no cheese. I'll order one again soon and try it with lettuce and mac sauce!
Really eh? I know in Hong Kong they have it on the menu but when I went to Indonesia it was NO WHERE to be found! Actually same in Toronto though, I've seen locations (back in the early 2000s) that didn't serve it but you could generally find it pretty easily at other nearby locations.
That's why do what I do ahaha have a food with you that your gonna watch about and trust me you won't be disappointed cause tada! no more aw man I wish I have one right now
I don't eat the Filet for religious reasons. I simply get it because, for me, its the best thing on the menu! The fish itself is pretty bland but the steamed bun and the tartar sauce (oh dear god the sauce) creates a fantastic combination that is like heaven for my palate.
Eren Jaeger If you like fish and tartar sauce then you should try it. The buns have a very soft and fluffy texture. I think Filet-O-Fish is the first item from McDonald that I've tried when I was a kid and I love it ever since. That,and because I like to eat fish. This sandwich is actually quite popular in my country.
I love the Filet-O-Fish! I always ask them to add lettuce... perfect! And yes, I'm a good old Catholic girl, so I've consumed quite a few of them on Fridays during Lent, especially when I worked there for a few years way back when.
Zavier Moffit I have one every few years or so, I like the cheese on them but I order them without the tarter sauce. I live in New Mexico and have found that they're quite good if you add a little green chilé to them for a touch of local spice.
Cole Warden Nah dude, salty fish and cheese with that sauce? I like buying 3 of these when super drunk. 1 right away, the other 2 go on the counter for next morning ^^
Yeah other places try to make fish sandwiches to compete and they just fucking don’t my favorite thing order extra tartar sauce and use the fries on the extra tartar sauce
Having worked in one for years, I'll say that a freshly fried filet + a steamed-then-toasted bun + tartar/lettuce/tomato/cheese = better than almost anything on the menu.
I always called it fellatio fish, which went over their heads until I encountered one young woman who hardly stop laughing long enough to complete the order, but McDonald's is getting stupid expensive. It's not much cheaper than a diner meal anymore.
Hey! Loved this video. Also, I wear glasses and stand in front of a green screen and I know what a pain it can be. I have actually painted the side of my glasses with clear matte finger nail polish which makes them not shiny anymore to prevent the disappearing glasses. You can't tell in the videos, though they do look a little less spiffy in real life.
Alright you've officially made my day! I'm a HUGE fan of you and your work. :-) Thanks for glasses tip also! I'm sending this over to Simon. :-) -Daven
I have metal frames, am autistic and it drives me bonkers the way the light reflects and makes me think something is moving near me! Never thought of the nail polish trick .A million thanks!!!
3 years later.... It's actually the best thing on the menu. It's the only thing they always make when someone orders it. Everything else sits in trays and, depending on the store, could be very fresh or not. In most stores though, the Filet-O-Fish is always cooked when ordered because it's not ordered often.
That's why i start eat Filet-o-Fish, and I love it to this day (in the 90s, and early 2000 it was called FishMac, at least here in Europe). We ware traveling on the friday, and stoping at McDonald whole family order fish sandwich, as we are catholics.
I actually work at a store in the Groen franchise. His grandson, Grant, is our store owner. It's always been kind of weird they bring up the whole, "first new item on the menu" thing. But I guess it's a staple of the national culture and all that jazz.
It’s my favorite, but they’re expensive for their small size. When they had the two for $5 I would eat it all the time. I hope they don’t get rid of it.
Morgan Boucher depends where you are at. Here in Southern California where people are more health conscious, the fish is far more popular. The result of this is them having to be made freshly throughout the day which means they taste better.
OK. the Felt o fish has always been my favorite since I was a kid. I was born in 62. I've eaten a lot of them. I have to say the fish has gotten bland over the years. I believe it the tarter sauce that keeps me coming back. I think I'll go to a McDonald's after my work.out and get the 2 for 5. My grandmother was friends with the Crocks when I was young. Got to meet him several times at dinner parties.
First let me say I love the taste of fish .. I believe 90% of people don't .. that's why they will eat filet 0 Fish sandwiches at McDonalds .. maybe it's the tarter sauce their after
The filet-o-fish has always been my favorite at McDonald's. I've tried the fish sandwich elsewhere, but I think McDonald's is the best. Now, that might be bc I've had so many. Very interesting program.
That is my favorite sandwich at McDonalds. I just ate one yesterday. There is a worker that calls me the cheese lady because i ask for the whole piece. I live in Utah, and recently found out if you order one filet-of-fish, they throw the other half of cheese away. I tell them to put it on mine instead of tossing it. THEY DO. I think it is stupid that they toss it instead of putting on customers sandwich. Help me out all of you Filet-of-Fish eaters wherever you are. Tell them you want the other half of the cheese, because they toss it anyway. Let's start a revolt.
as a muslim this is a life saver because it’s literally the one thing we can order that is halal (assuming it’s actually made in separate oil like they say) edit: only burger/ sandwich*
@@Shinigami13133 its usually a beef/pork mixture. Beef is halal as you can eat beef bacon (I believe, new Muslim here. As-salaam 'alykum brothers.). Usually sausage/beef from cheap sources is mixed with pork and other haram meats.
flack youe I don't see how price matters. It may affect sales, but I think the main point they are trying to argue is their popularity compared to the burgers.
agreed, its real fish, you can just tell, as processed fish never has the same texture as real fish (processed fish more like solid cat food pureè) plus the potatoes are real fries and the sourcing is usually local and actually stimulates the local economy
Going back 30 years when I worked at McDonald's it was the only item cooked to order (except in busy times when 6 were kept in the "bin") and took 4 minutes 20 seconds to cook if I remember correctly. Nicest thing on the menu tbh in that was just totally different to everything else on the menu.
I like it.. the sandwich and usually always taste the same, but it weirds me out ever since an adult... what fish is it? some like burger king expresses catch of the day.... OK this could be your pet gold fish you put in my sandwich.
and I don't mean to spoil your appetite but most cheap fish comes from fish farms they do not clean the water often and is filled with crap. there's plenty of videos showing it. and well all fish in northern hemisphere is poisoned be it fuckashima oil spills illegal toxic dumps .. Cali dumps trash 5 miles off shore. chemtrail... nothing is proven safe to eat including ponds and rivers etc... pesticides everywhere. right I know all food is toxic but fish is highest on chain. even China of all places rejected our fish last year and here they are a killing spree to America with their products.
not where i live .... i was used to get the "cheapo big mac" (Cheeseburger with the Big Mac sauce) across the lands where i was.. and when i asked about this at my McD few meters from my current home, they were like "ummm huh.. whoa... cant be done" ... went to Bk instead :-)
As a previous McDonald’s employee in my early 20s, the filet o fish is made fresh to order. Bun is steamed fresh. Probably the “best” thing you could order. Try throwing lettuce and tomato on it. Pretty good.
In Japan the Filet O'Fish is on the breakfast menu. There was also a week when they were selling it for half price. And last year a double filet o'fish was on the menu. I never much ate them in America, but here in Japan I do.
TheHobgoblyn huh, that's pretty cool. I always thought the idea of "breakfast foods" was silly. if I want something spicy or heavy for breakfast, I'm going to have that. if I want cereal or eggs later in the day, I'm going to have that
I hate the breakfast menu from McDonald. If i want a croissant, i go to the baker where i can buy me a buch of baked goods and coffee for the half price and it's taste even better.
Well, first Tony-- you are obviously wrong about no one caring. If you didn't live in a sewage hole under a rock and living off shit, you'd realize quite a lot of people care. Second, Tony, you are wrong about Japanese ever wanting "all Americans" dead. They just wanted to take over control of Hawaii because tons of Japanese people had already moved there and live there to this day. They also bombed the fleet at Pearl Harbor because it was a fleet that was built up to attack them any day. You know that whole "preeminent strike" thing that was the excuse for America to attack Iraq? Yep. That was the reason the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Except there actually WERE WMDs poised to attack them. It had nothing to do with the extermination of all Americans. They actually liked Americans at the time and wouldn't have had all their warships and planes had it not been for the Americans. But-- again-- I guess that is the education one gets from being a hole-dwelling sewage creature.
My dad used to take me to McDonald's in the 60s and only ordered FOF. We were Catholic, but I never heard of that connection. I guess it was because my mom was Italian and shunned all fast American food, so we never had FF dinners.
I work at McDonald's, and the fish are the second most likely item to be served to you super old. First is spicy mcchicken. My recommendation is to order both of these cook to order if you want them, they take 3:30 in the fryer so it doesn't add too much time and will taste a thousand times better trust. Especially the spicy, that will literally sit for 2 hours and never gets thrown out.
Actually thats not how it works, and Thrasher209 yes it is indeed a good thing when inflation slowly increases, consumer confidence rises, therefore increasing spending and in turn GDP. So, a steady, low inflation rate helps the economy.
I've worked in McDonald's in the UK and the reason why the filet is so popular is because majority (not all) of people who buy a Filet are muslims and they are really popular because McDonald's doesn't serve halal food.
With all the fish & chips shops in the UK, I have to wonder why they go to a McDonalds for their fish. Aren't there like a million other places to get fried fish, probably more different kinds of fish and better quality? In the US I can understand going to McDonalds because there aren't as many fish & chips places.
lestrange I'm guessing because it's the easiest and fastest thing to do and there being so many of them with drive throughs as well. People are shopping in the area, and a McDonald's is around the corner and people know what they're getting at McDonald's as well, instead of chip shops as they're all different (prices, taste, quality)
it's a convienece kinda thing. Theres plenty of mcdonalds at service stations which are great while taking a break from driving. Sometimes when were out and about we just go to mcdonalds instead of searching for a different place to go. Infact I had one today since it was literally just across the vets I visited.
Still got it in China, but they put sesame sauce over it. You have to tell them to use the tartar sauce, but that's impossible when you order through the official app. Duh.
I used to eat and really enjoy the fillet-o-fish despite never ordering one personally. It was always something my grandma would buy for me when she bought dinner for herself.
Catholics don't eat red meat on Friday, so it's mostly fish for them. That is why it was made, and being a North American company, they tailored their menu to their primary consumers.
This was the first job I had in high school. At that time (1974) they were made with half a slice of cheese. The best thing about the sandwich, in my opinion, is the tartar sauce. It’s great on fries.
Back in the 1970's , Burger King had a fish sandwich called The Whaler. It was huge, twice the size of the McDonald's fish sandwich and I ate my fair share of them, too..!! Today, the Whaler is just a shrimp....so sad. Burger King also used to have a real good hot ham & cheese and was a real good portion. Oh, I long for the old days...!!
Burger King has always had a fish sandwich, as far as I know. I remember it being pretty damned big and quite good, but it's not much more than a Filet-o-Fish with a bigger bun these days.

Fillet-o-fish is one of the best things on their menu only issue is its kinda pricey

Misspelling it with 2 Ls is probably why people mispronounce out. Filet is pronounced fi-LAY.
The triple cheeseburger with 4 pumps of mac and slivered onions is way better and hasn't given me the runs so i recommend that
My favourite item on the menu.....
I eat about 5-6 a year but when I have one, it's the *only* thing that I want to eat. Oh yeah, and always double patties. I'm pretty sure our bodies have their own agendas.
Same. I only go to McDonald's when I crave one or a nice custardy sundae... maybe 8-10 days a year. And.... today is suddenly one of those days.
No it isn't.

Roger Rondeau It's my favorite as well.And a plus to it is that, while you may have to wait a few extra minutes for it to be made,it will be hot and fresh.
Roger Rondeau it was indeed. Now it is Pollock before it was cod and hoki.
in Australia its barramundi
Roger Rondeau I love the fillet o fish too
The filet-o-fish is highly underrated!
My gramma used to tell me “they did it for Catholics” so they can eat it on Friday. Guess she was right 😂
My family's Catholic and we almost always order them if we're in a rush on a Friday.
@@aliciabauduin1922 we always had fish and chips from the local fish and chip shop.
I once went into a McDonald's in Chicago and asked for '4 Catholic combos', they didn't ask what I meant
She is wrong, they did it for Midwestern Episcopalians.
@@pambronson4467 Episcopalians are Catholics.
Something that I noticed when I was young and working at a McDonald's was that the fillet o fish also sells more when it rains. My manager had told me about it but I didn't take her seriously but then I started paying attention and she was right. Whenever it rained the fish was definitely ordered more than when it was sunny. I don't pretend to know why this happens but it certainly does.
this is a very interesting phenomenon. I think it also somewhat relates to people preferring to eat salad in the summer when it's warm.
It's the british heritage in many americans, it rains and they want fish and chips.
Source: I'm drunk and made it up, but it almost makes sense if you ignore a bunch of stuff
@@alexandercope4049 honestly? You're probably half right, if we really think about it. Where are good fish and chips restaurants mostly located? By the seaside. Where the water is. Since water is where the fish is and all. Rain is just falling water.
@@stevenbobbybills drunken logic is still logic
Maybe their using RAINbow trout? Lol
when I was working at McDonald's I'd get at least 20 orders for fillet of fish a shift... and during Lent on Fridays out was literally the most popular menu item so we'd have to dedicate half the fryers to it.
Skyler Garza When Filet O Fish is on sale , like two for one price , they sell at least 20 every half hour during the lunch or dinner rush.
Yeah I remember that too
Skyler Garza In my area we have fish sandwiches in the 2 for 5 menu. When the Muslims and Indians come in, its a field day. We can't keep them, cooking 8 patties at a time!
The worst I ever had it was when we had to dedicate the whole fry set up for meat to fish and start using half the French fry fryer for the chicken products.... We had a fresh shipment of 10 boxes in that day and we ended the night with one bag...
I hate McDonald's now there fish I will eat I miss the California shop I went too privately owned and used fish from the dock.
Actually, my family and I actually buy the fillet o fish simply because we like them. I actually was surprised to hear it was really unpopular for the first time in this video.
It's not unpopular at all. I don't know where this idiot got that bit of information but it's wrong. Maybe it's unpopular in whatever shithole country he lives in, but here in the USA it is it is a huge seller and also McDonalds has no problem getting the fish it needs in the quantities it needs. Not sure where this doof got his info but it's grossly inaccurate.
If they remove the Filet-O-Fish I will stop going to McDonald's
Same, it's all I ever go for anymore. That and the $1 bag of ice, but I can get that at any fast food joint.
Yep, same here.
same.
Same. I don't like their hamburgers anymore.
Korean McDonald's stopped selling the filet-o-fish a few years back...it's absolute bullsh*t. Best item on the menu...gone.

@@riotgrrl9218 who knows right? have a great day cutie
I like the Fillet-o-fish... my problem with it is that it is too small and I need to order two, which makes it a very expensive lunch. =/
jalex23 yea, when I get blazed with mates, 3 of these is the best cure for munchies
wow....
jalex23 here in Hong Kong you get double filet o fish
I wish I could get by with just 2 of them. When I get them I typically get 4. Sometimes I get 2 fish and 2 burgers.
jalex23 there now is a deal for two lol
I love the Fillet O' Fishdude. My dad and my chick love it too. What's good about this sandwich is that since it's not ordered very often, they don't keep premade/heated patties on deck like regular beef patties, so when you get a FoF, you're getting a fresh one. Downside is, they only give you half a square of cheese.
Minus cheese , for me , but dead on point otherwise 👌
Its true I worked at a McDonalds as a teenager and they make you break the slice of cheese in half for the filet o fish. Its kind of strange why they decided to do that.
For the McDonald's near me it's the opposite lol the fish is never fresh unless you ask for it fresh
The filet-o-fish is my go-to mcdonalds 'burger'

The Filet-O-Fish has been one of my favorite sandwiches since the 70's, hell I'm not even religious but they taste like the Gods made them from Poseidon's personal fish stash.
Back in the 70's the Burger King Whaler was the best fish sandwhich. Followed by MCDonalds fillet-o-fish and Hardees had a cool idea using a wheat bun
@Not Tucker North East.
@Not Tucker I eat all cuisines and flavors lol. My favorites are mostly asian inspired.

you wouldent if u saw how they were made lol! i worked in the fish plant when i was younger and i cant say exactly "mc donalds" exactly but cheap fish cakes and cheap fish sticks are NOT fish lol!!!

I actually like the Filet-o-Fish. I eat them whenever I feel like it, which is frequently.
so...possibly Catholic then?
@@TheWolfsnack yes, but that's not the point. I just....like them.
I always order one ...or two for the past 25 years, I just love the texture and the sauce
Eastyy its nasty man. i would only eat it if i wanted sth for a change and i was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hungry. No offense man but neither the texture nor the sauce is good imo.
I love it too! The other burgers are good too but the filet-o-fish is definitely the best burger in my opinion :)
Eastyy wow I am 20, respect to you
Eastyy I have always wanted to try it but there's just so many other options
Not to forget that it's the only item which is more or less guaranteed to be fresh as well as not chemically fortified.
I just tried the filet o fish yesterday, and I was suuuper excited. As a pescatarian, McDonald's doesn't have a menu friendly to my diet, but our group wanted McDonalds and I was sure there was nothing I could eat until someone suggested this, which I never knew existed. The bun is simple and pillow-y and the fish filet is perfect. It has a great sauce, but I asked for no cheese. I'll order one again soon and try it with lettuce and mac sauce!
Come to Singapore, seems like everyone here buy Fillet O Fish haha
Lol ikr feels good someone else notice that XD
In India too, cheap and tasty.
Totally, unless CNY period, that prosperity burger.. dayum son
velocity790 weeb
Really eh? I know in Hong Kong they have it on the menu but when I went to Indonesia it was NO WHERE to be found! Actually same in Toronto though, I've seen locations (back in the early 2000s) that didn't serve it but you could generally find it pretty easily at other nearby locations.
I must be a genius. Offering a fish sandwich to a community full of Catholics and thinking they'd prefer it over grilled pineapple both seem obvious.
Well, grilled pineapple is considered a sin in Catholicism.
Silly papists.
That whole grilled pineapple sandwich thing was a stupid idea. Let's try the Mango Burger! Whut?
@@St.Linguini_of_Pesto I'm catholic and have never heard of this lol

The fillet-o-fish is straight fire. It’s one of the few things I actually like there.
i put hot sauce on that bitch
I don't eat the Filet for religious reasons. I simply get it because, for me, its the best thing on the menu! The fish itself is pretty bland but the steamed bun and the tartar sauce (oh dear god the sauce) creates a fantastic combination that is like heaven for my palate.
And I eat cat shit because it tastes better than dog shit.
Nathan Durben Amen. Yum!
Nathan Durben The crunch on the outer layer👌
Got to agree with that. It's delicious. Feel like having one now.
No one ever buys it? It was quite pretty popular when I worked at McDonald's.
Haven't tried it yet. I'm getting it next time I go. What's your opinion on it? I mean, if you ever ate it.
Eren Jaeger If you like fish and tartar sauce then you should try it. The buns have a very soft and fluffy texture. I think Filet-O-Fish is the first item from McDonald that I've tried when I was a kid and I love it ever since. That,and because I like to eat fish. This sandwich is actually quite popular in my country.
I don't like fish, but at everything else I've got the same story with it.
Brandon Raich I worked at mcds for years and no one ever bought it
Nora Farron the buns are the same buns as the cheeseburger buns, they're just steamed rather than toasted which is how they're soft like that.
You're asking too much of that second button.

I love the Filet-O-Fish! I always ask them to add lettuce... perfect! And yes, I'm a good old Catholic girl, so I've consumed quite a few of them on Fridays during Lent, especially when I worked there for a few years way back when.
I only eat fillet o fish sandwiches when at McDonald's they are so good.
Zavier Moffit
I have one every few years or so, I like the cheese on them but I order them without the tarter sauce. I live in New Mexico and have found that they're quite good if you add a little green chilé to them for a touch of local spice.
Zavier Moffit wtf

T What? Everyone has their own favourite...
I’ve only eaten it twice in my lifetime, once my sister brought it home and the second, when I was touring in Hong Kong
The Filet-O-Fish is amazing when hungover.

Cole Warden Nah dude, salty fish and cheese with that sauce?
I like buying 3 of these when super drunk. 1 right away, the other 2 go on the counter for next morning ^^

@@kenwaid8239 mmm
Having worked in one for years, I'll say that a freshly fried filet + a steamed-then-toasted bun + tartar/lettuce/tomato/cheese = better than almost anything on the menu.

i only order the 10 piece mcnugget with specifically the sweet and sour sauce
Try something else they have other good things to
Fascinating tell us more? 🙄
Same. It's the best thing they've got.
@ArmchairWarrior You sound offended . . .??
If the Filet-o-Fish was cheaper I'd order it every time.
I always called it fellatio fish, which went over their heads until I encountered one young woman who hardly stop laughing long enough to complete the order, but McDonald's is getting stupid expensive. It's not much cheaper than a diner meal anymore.
@@chcarroll5164 😂
Yep- it's not likely ever gonna be on the $1 Menu (or Value Menu as they now call it). I like bargains, and the Filet O'Fish isn't one of them. :-(

3 years later.... It's actually the best thing on the menu. It's the only thing they always make when someone orders it. Everything else sits in trays and, depending on the store, could be very fresh or not. In most stores though, the Filet-O-Fish is always cooked when ordered because it's not ordered often.
That's why i start eat Filet-o-Fish, and I love it to this day (in the 90s, and early 2000 it was called FishMac, at least here in Europe). We ware traveling on the friday, and stoping at McDonald whole family order fish sandwich, as we are catholics.

I love them, too. Here is a secret: Ask for the double fillet, and they only increase the price by one dollar.
The filet o fish is my favorite McDonalds menu item
Hot Cosby you're officially the worst person ever.
Hot Cosby mine too
Disgusting
Morgan Boucher depends where you are at. Here in Southern California where people are more health conscious, the fish is far more popular. The result of this is them having to be made freshly throughout the day which means they taste better.
OK. the Felt o fish has always been my favorite since I was a kid. I was born in 62. I've eaten a lot of them. I have to say the fish has gotten bland over the years. I believe it the tarter sauce that keeps me coming back. I think I'll go to a McDonald's after my work.out and get the 2 for 5. My grandmother was friends with the Crocks when I was young. Got to meet him several times at dinner parties.
Mark Hoffman mmm yummy felt
Wow!
First let me say I love the taste of fish .. I believe 90% of people don't .. that's why they will eat filet 0 Fish sandwiches at McDonalds .. maybe it's the tarter sauce their after
Mark Hoffman I felt the fish *ba dum tiss*
Mark Hoffman why not just get the tarter sauce in another sandwich? ?
The filet-o-fish has always been my favorite at McDonald's. I've tried the fish sandwich elsewhere, but I think McDonald's is the best. Now, that might be bc I've had so many. Very interesting program.
Love the filet-o-fish the only problem is that they give you only half a slice of cheese
About a decade-and-a-half ago you would get a full slice of cheese on your sandwhich and it was sold for $1 during special promotions.
It's 40 cents extra to make it a full slice! And what gets me is when I order a Quarter Pounder without cheese, they don't discount it at all.
@Ad Lockhorst It guarantees the sandwich is made there and then and not before the restrant opens just left to sit in the heater.
That is my favorite sandwich at McDonalds. I just ate one yesterday. There is a worker that calls me the cheese lady because i ask for the whole piece. I live in Utah, and recently found out if you order one filet-of-fish, they throw the other half of cheese away. I tell them to put it on mine instead of tossing it. THEY DO. I think it is stupid that they toss it instead of putting on customers sandwich. Help me out all of you Filet-of-Fish eaters wherever you are. Tell them you want the other half of the cheese, because they toss it anyway. Let's start a revolt.
I asked about that ! My mcDonalds has fillet a fish cheese sized accordingly in a square and not a rectangle!
I love the fish sandwich from McDonald’s. I chose it more often then other things.
Hmm I love the Filet-o-fish just because it tastes good. Didn't know it was so special.
as a muslim this is a life saver because it’s literally the one thing we can order that is halal (assuming it’s actually made in separate oil like they say)
edit: only burger/ sandwich*
Yes it’s made in separate oil. Very strictly enforced.

@@kinteyoi Not even for Halal but itd made the chicken and fries taste fishy lol
Is beef not halal? Or is it a beef/pork mixture in the burgers?
@@Shinigami13133 its usually a beef/pork mixture. Beef is halal as you can eat beef bacon (I believe, new Muslim here. As-salaam 'alykum brothers.). Usually sausage/beef from cheap sources is mixed with pork and other haram meats.
I work at a McDonald's. Even before Lent, we sold plenty of them. They are not "hardly ever" bought.
Relative to the rest of the sandwiches at McDonald's, they are hardly ever purchased.
Fair point, I'll give you guys that.
You'll give them the truth. Neat! Must be a liberal.
you fail to take in the price difference no?
flack youe I don't see how price matters. It may affect sales, but I think the main point they are trying to argue is their popularity compared to the burgers.
filet-o-fish and fries are the only thing i trust to eat at any mcd's
agreed, its real fish, you can just tell, as processed fish never has the same texture as real fish (processed fish more like solid cat food pureè)
plus the potatoes are real fries
and the sourcing is usually local and actually stimulates the local economy

Going back 30 years when I worked at McDonald's it was the only item cooked to order (except in busy times when 6 were kept in the "bin") and took 4 minutes 20 seconds to cook if I remember correctly. Nicest thing on the menu tbh in that was just totally different to everything else on the menu.
Pineapple burger don't seem all that good, but a pineapple slice ON a burger is really really good

and I don't mean to spoil your appetite but most cheap fish comes from fish farms they do not clean the water often and is filled with crap. there's plenty of videos showing it. and well all fish in northern hemisphere is poisoned be it fuckashima oil spills illegal toxic dumps ..

As a previous McDonald’s employee in my early 20s, the filet o fish is made fresh to order. Bun is steamed fresh.
Probably the “best” thing you could order. Try throwing lettuce and tomato on it. Pretty good.
You know what’s better than the filet-o-fish? A double filet-o-fish!
I stopped eating McDonald's a long time ago. But this made me incredibly hungry
i havent eaten for years now
In Japan the Filet O'Fish is on the breakfast menu. There was also a week when they were selling it for half price. And last year a double filet o'fish was on the menu. I never much ate them in America, but here in Japan I do.
TheHobgoblyn huh, that's pretty cool. I always thought the idea of "breakfast foods" was silly. if I want something spicy or heavy for breakfast, I'm going to have that. if I want cereal or eggs later in the day, I'm going to have that
I hate the breakfast menu from McDonald. If i want a croissant, i go to the baker where i can buy me a buch of baked goods and coffee for the half price and it's taste even better.
TheHobgoblyn Sounds nice. I've had to not eat anything good because of that damn breakfast menu a few times. Just serve the same stuff at all times!
Well, first Tony-- you are obviously wrong about no one caring. If you didn't live in a sewage hole under a rock and living off shit, you'd realize quite a lot of people care.
Second, Tony, you are wrong about Japanese ever wanting "all Americans" dead. They just wanted to take over control of Hawaii because tons of Japanese people had already moved there and live there to this day. They also bombed the fleet at Pearl Harbor because it was a fleet that was built up to attack them any day. You know that whole "preeminent strike" thing that was the excuse for America to attack Iraq? Yep. That was the reason the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Except there actually WERE WMDs poised to attack them.
It had nothing to do with the extermination of all Americans. They actually liked Americans at the time and wouldn't have had all their warships and planes had it not been for the Americans.
But-- again-- I guess that is the education one gets from being a hole-dwelling sewage creature.
TheHobgoblyn what the f*** is that have to do with the price of tea in China?wtf.
Double fillet of fish is my favorite menu item....especially when the app has the $1 sandwich deal....$6 sandwich for $1 is beautiful.

I remember when the filet-o-fish first came out. You could get one for 55 cents.
My dad used to take me to McDonald's in the 60s and only ordered FOF. We were Catholic, but I never heard of that connection. I guess it was because my mom was Italian and shunned all fast American food, so we never had FF dinners.
I work at McDonald's, and the fish are the second most likely item to be served to you super old. First is spicy mcchicken. My recommendation is to order both of these cook to order if you want them, they take 3:30 in the fryer so it doesn't add too much time and will taste a thousand times better trust. Especially the spicy, that will literally sit for 2 hours and never gets thrown out.
Bro they don't sell the spicy McChicken where I live anymore 😢 That was my favorite menu item
I really like how you convert the monetary values of the past in their modern equivalents.
Actually inflation is a relatively good thing, it means we aren't in a recession or depression when we have a steady rate of inflation.
Will Bailey Inflation a good thing? please tell me this is a joke. We are inevitably going to declare bankruptcy
Actually thats not how it works, and Thrasher209 yes it is indeed a good thing when inflation slowly increases, consumer confidence rises, therefore increasing spending and in turn GDP. So, a steady, low inflation rate helps the economy.
No, loans do not make inflation. Inflation is caused by multiple things, and loans may be a small part, but it is not a main cause.
I'm not a huge fan of the Filet-O-Fish but now I want one after watching this video. I know what I'm having for lunch today.
Meh, if I want fried fast food fish I'll got to Long John Silver's.
I've worked in McDonald's in the UK and the reason why the filet is so popular is because majority (not all) of people who buy a Filet are muslims and they are really popular because McDonald's doesn't serve halal food.
With all the fish & chips shops in the UK, I have to wonder why they go to a McDonalds for their fish. Aren't there like a million other places to get fried fish, probably more different kinds of fish and better quality? In the US I can understand going to McDonalds because there aren't as many fish & chips places.
lestrange I'm guessing because it's the easiest and fastest thing to do and there being so many of them with drive throughs as well. People are shopping in the area, and a McDonald's is around the corner and people know what they're getting at McDonald's as well, instead of chip shops as they're all different (prices, taste, quality)
+James Murray Also I'm guessing they're cheaper and most immigrants are not rich and trying to save money.
James Murray
it's a convienece kinda thing. Theres plenty of mcdonalds at service stations which are great while taking a break from driving. Sometimes when were out and about we just go to mcdonalds instead of searching for a different place to go. Infact I had one today since it was literally just across the vets I visited.

Still got it in China, but they put sesame sauce over it. You have to tell them to use the tartar sauce, but that's impossible when you order through the official app. Duh.
I used to eat and really enjoy the fillet-o-fish despite never ordering one personally. It was always something my grandma would buy for me when she bought dinner for herself.
"intended to be eaten by a very specific type of customer" aka the asian mom. the filet-o-fish, the only asian mom approved item on the menu
religious peeps
Catholics don't eat red meat on Friday, so it's mostly fish for them. That is why it was made, and being a North American company, they tailored their menu to their primary consumers.
So true
@@KP762a its also why almost all buffet style restaurants are seafood on Fridays and most steakhouses have a fish special on Fridays
Facts my moms filipino from hawaii and makes me get her one whenever i goto mcdonalds
This was the first job I had in high school. At that time (1974) they were made with half a slice of cheese. The best thing about the sandwich, in my opinion, is the tartar sauce. It’s great on fries.
Love the Filet-O-Fish. It's my top 2 McD sammiches. The Big Mac is the other.
I definitely eat it regularly, it’s one of my favorite items at McDonald’s honestly.

I love these. I order them almost every time I go to McDonald's.
Back in the 1970's , Burger King had a fish sandwich called The Whaler. It was huge, twice the size of the McDonald's fish sandwich and I ate my fair share of them, too..!! Today, the Whaler is just a shrimp....so sad. Burger King also used to have a real good hot ham & cheese and was a real good portion. Oh, I long for the old days...!!
Burger King has always had a fish sandwich, as far as I know. I remember it being pretty damned big and quite good, but it's not much more than a Filet-o-Fish with a bigger bun these days.
love mcD's fish sammie. always hated the whaler b/c waaaaaay too much bun for the size of the fish.
The yumbo. That was the ham sandwhich.
The Whaler was nothing short of AWESOME....but so was the Whopper...AT THAT TIME ! Now...FUGGITABOUTIT !
marbleman52 thank you. He pissed me off with the weird pronunciation in the first 30 seconds lol
I eat them, they're delicious. Try getting one with mac sauce instead of tartar. Winning 👍
Mac Sauce and, if you like them, add pickles. Also, in my case, I prefer white cheddar instead of yellow.
My mind is now blown. I shall try it tomorrow.
Donovan Graciano, how was it?
fileofish with Mac sauce + sliced pickles + bacon + tomato, award winning
@@davidjiang1437 no mac donald cheese, but add pamiggiano after and a dash of lemon.
Bring back the Double Filet-o-Fish! (It was available for some time in the 00's in Japan).
