My mother, my ancient golden retriever and I stopped at McD for a filet of fish on lent in 2013 on our way home from the vet. They were both very ill and I took every opportunity to make them happy. Mama wanted her fish sandwich during lent. We ate in the car in the parking lot, facing a wall. We fed fries to the dog and pretended there was a movie on the wall. We made up a plot and dialog. It was a magical lunch made even more everlasting because my dog died a week later and my mother followed 2 weeks after him. I will hold this memory in my heart for the rest of my life.

Another victim of the crazy health people who told us tallow was terrible. McDonalds should go back to tallow. Tell everyone that the so called health people were mistaken.
It was a lard mixture that included beef tallow, but I don't believe it was pure beef tallow. The way McDonald's sold the change was unsaturated fats are healthier. I now that was a big thing back then and some people were up in arms about the use of saturated fats in everything that tasted good, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was the real reason for the switch.
@josephgaviota Just go to your favorite burger joint and bring some slices of pineapple, just make sure to take the pineapple core out, because it's very fibrous making it impossible to chew. Enjoy...👍✌️
I worked at a McDonalds around 2010 in OH. During Lent they set the price of a Filet-o-fist meal at $3.33. Well OH doesn't have sales tax on to go orders, so every time someone ordered 2 meals in the drive thru the total came to $6.66...during lent. I still crack up when I think of it.
Exactly, so they tell us that doesn't mean nothing right but that old saying devil in the details huh my local Meijer had Meijer brand frozen turkeys for .33 a pound. That's way to cheap there loosing money that low but I seen right thru it. The wicked are all about symbolism ie:monster energy drink, right in front of our faces and we just drink it up.
I used to love them, but when I had one in the last year or so, it didn't taste anything like I remember it, even though the rest of menu does. Not sure it is me or the fish, but something's changed. Also, bring back the cherry pie, McDonalds.

I worked for McDonald's in the mid-60s. Hamburgers were still 15 cents. Filet-o-fish was, indeed, popular on Fridays. In addition to the Filet sandwich, we had hamburgers, cheeseburgers and double hamburgers and double cheeseburgers. That's it. Big Macs didn't come along until 1967, and they are my favorite! I LOVE the Filet-o-fish sandwich. One of my favorites. FWIW, I also prefer the original double cheeseburger to its 'replacement', the Quarter Pounder. In the 60s, everything fried was cooked in lard, which came in square boxes with a plastic liner. We even washed, peeled and cut fresh potatoes for the French fries. They had a machine that did it and we got 50 pound burlap bags of fresh potatoes to make fries with. That was usually one of the first duties they trained 'new guys' on...and it was almost always 'guys' doing it because of having to lift and haul around 50 pound bags of potatoes, they usually didn't give the girls that job. The fries were MUCH better then, than they are now.
I have not eaten one in over 25 years! The best fish was Arther Treaher's Fish & Chips. McDonals shrunk the fish to half the size and the price has doubled. 🐟🐠

Oh stop whining. Alaskan Pollock is actually so low in mercury that pregnant women can safely eat it every day. It’s also full of omega-3. The alphabet soup of chemicals they mention in the video comes from the other ingredients, like the bun, tartar sauce, and cheese
just buy the filet-patties and use your own bread....they're basically telling you that the bread and sauce costs $3.65...the price of two whole fish filet patties. Makes no sense.
I'm a fast food fish sandwich lover. For a while in the late 90s to early 00s the BK Big Fish was my go to because it was bigger and you could add lettuce and tomato. In the past couple years Checkers/Rallys Crispy Fish Sandwich is the best fish sandwich fast food can offer imo. However like most of McDs items the Filet-o-Fish has a distinct taste that still reels me in a couple times a year. Great video!🍻

I used to love the Filet-o-fish sandwich but haven't eaten fast food in years. I now buy Gorton's (or another frozen brand) breaded fish patties and make my own, with the fish (air fried), a slice of American cheese, tartar sauce, and grocery store bakery buns. They taste pretty good and are cheaper, especially when the fish fillets are buy-one-get-one-free.
Unlike many other restaurants, McDonald's is very transparent about all their ingredients that you can find on their official website. So yeah, nothing unusual in their "chemicals" compared to other commercial food products. So if you enjoy something at McDonald's, just eat it in moderation. It's definitely no worse than many other things people consume regularly.
@@allesindwillkommen I think Mc Donalds should have "clean" versions of some of their items, I would pay more for no chemicals and proper fry oil! Keep the current menu, just make a Health Conscious menu also!
Not only do I not care what is in it, I'm totally craving for one or three right now, at 3:30 in the morning while I sit here awake watching YT videos about Fillet O Fish history. Being 60 myself, I have been eating these for about 50 years and they're still tasty to me.
how have they changed over the past 50 years? Gotten smaller? feels cheaper? How was the halibut version? the cod version? compared to the pollock version?
That's not a full break down of the ingredients. For example, the cheese and tartar sauce can be broken down further. The ingredients will also vary slightly depending on the country. And for example the EU generally has higher food standards, and hence better labelling, than the US.
When I worked at McDonald's, the only time I had to cook a filet o fish, was for this one guy. I remember it because he always wanted them well done, I had to deep fry them twice.
As a kid in the 70s, the Filet O Fish was the only item (besides fries) I'd eat at McDonald's. Burger Chef made the best fish sandwiches, but alas they are long gone.
I loved BC as a child. Sadly, I was working at Wendy's in the late 70s just a few miles from Speedway,IN. This where the infamous Burger Chef killings happened. 3 high schoolers and the 19 year old manager were abducted while closing, taken to a wooded area and murdered. Never caught the killers. All of us kids were scared while closing now and we all had to stay until closing was done so the manager could call the Sheriff to send a deputy to watch us leave, get in our cars and drive off. The cops are pretty sure they know who did it and they both died in prison for other crimes - but there's been no "official closure." At the same time there was a "mad bomber" leaving bombs in the area. A guy going to a highschool football game in Speedway kicked a duffle bag in the parking lot - it exploded and blew his leg off! It was one hell of a senior year for me and all of us on the west side of Indianapolis.
I remember Burger Chef. They were awesome. To this day, I still don't understand why they went under. Their menu fare was way better than McDonalds or Wendys at the time. Not as good as Burger Kings' Flame broiled whopper though. Again, at that time. Burger King has lost some of it's sizzle since then.
This video explained a lot - like how I knew it wasn't either minced fish-meat, nor was it likely to be an actual filet. Oh, and now I understand that all the extra added ingredients/chemicals are the reason the taste has stayed (mostly) consistent even through several changes in the type of fish used throughout the years. Informative vid' - thanks!
I worked at McDonalds for a few weeks as a kid 50 years ago. Back then, they had special steamer cabinets to heat the buns with steam. Now they throw them in the microwave and before you are half way finished your sandwich its dry as dirt I handed my first one back thinking it was old, I watched them make a replacement and it was exactly the same.
One of the secret menu items is a double filet-o-fish. (I stand corrected. It's not so secret. It's on the app and can actually be ordered any time as a regular menu item now. It used to be a secret menu item. But no more. I had one today. Ordered it with shredded lettuce.)
What makes me think twice about ordering one is the price. When I was in college, McDonald's sold the filet o fish for 75 cents and their promotion was that this would be their set price from then until forever as an inflation fighter. But that promise didn't last. Now they are 4 to 5 dollars and seem to be smaller than they used to be on top of everything else. At least each sandwich has enough tarter sauce for three sandwiches so you kind of get your money's worth in sauce.
" give me back that filet o fish give me that fish what if it was you hanging on that wall why you wouldn't be laughing at all give me back that filet o fish give me that fish"
I went from nothing... to wanting a Filet-O-Fish, to craving a Filet-O-Fish, then to being put off and back to craving it by the end. Aye aye what a rollercoaster. 😆
better than the toxic chemicals that McDonalds is pumping into their "food" in order to "MAXIMIZING SHAREHOLDER VALUEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
0:51 how far we dive in today's video how would we even know if the fish is real fish because we don't have any computers or any technicians or any staff we just decided to make a video on the internet
I swear someone once told me that the Filet-O-Fish is way better than anyone expects, and earlier this year I finally decided to give it a try. What I got was a patty that couldn't have weighed more than 50 grams, was ridiculously mushy, and just barely had the taste of fish. The half slice of cheese was just an extra kick in the balls. I can't imagine how anyone who's ever eaten one of these things would ever want to eat it a second time.
Nostalgia really. They used to be good, about a decade ago. . . The patties actually used to be the size of the bun too, not anymore. They always taste like dried out slop. I recently just had the arby's fish sandwitch and just like culver's it still tastes like fish unlike the slop served at McDs. It's actually so bad now that even after over 10k rating the McD in my area can't even get a 4.0 rating. That's horrendous!
Something I have learned today is that in America they only give half a slice of cheese on the filletofish. I was so confused about the comments when I read them at first but apparently thats a thing lol
For anybody interested - The filet-o-fish is made from 100% pure fresh caught (cut, packaged, and flash frozen while still on the boat) Atlantic Pollack.
Applying the breading must happen on-shore. I'm looking forward to Bobby Kennedy getting the soybean oil out of our diet. That stuff is carcinogenic, from what I understand.
I worked at a fish processing factory in maintenance from the mid 80's till the mid 90's. The line I was assigned to actually processed McDonald's fish. I can say for a fact that they put out a quality product. Every time we'd run McDonald's fish they would have a McDonald's rep there watching us to make sure the product was right. That was when we used cod. My favorite type of fish! Pollock is very similar.👍🐟😁
It is the perfect synthetic sandwich anywhere, the flavors are so balanced. I can eat them all day. I do however like to scrape off the excess tartar sauce
To be honest. I stayed away from it for the longest times and I tried it for the first time last year. And they’re freaking good!! Too bad they’re expensive now 😂
I used to light the gas ovens in an ashtray factory (yes, that was a thing in the '70s), for $10 per month. That was my high school lunch budget for the MONTH. 47¢ for hamburger + root beer Mon-Thu, Filet-o-fish on Friday, 42¢. UNDER $2.50 per WEEK back then.
I haven’t had any Fillet-o-Fish in years until this past summer. What a disappointment that was! McDonald’s makes them so much smaller now than the one we see at @ 00:22 in the video. I can probably fit 2 or even 3 of them in my hand!
Agreed l bought 2 just last week ridiculously small wasn’t the case in the past so now l buy frozen crumbed fish tartar sauce garlic Aolie sauce tasty cheese on warmed Turkish rolls way better option kills it and a fraction of cost and easy to prep
As a teen I worked at Wendy's and we called our fish sandwich "grease sharks." We sold so few of them that we fried them to order. We only had 4 flyers and the last one furthest from the bin was dedicated to grease sharks because it made fries taste fishy. Filet o fish is small, overpriced garbage and the last time I actually ordered one, it was old, cold and the bun was stale. If I want square fish, I'll buy Gorton's at the grocery - so, almost never!
Kinda surprised more restaurants don't offer a fish burger. In the US I find fish & chips no problem but fish in burger form I rarely come across other than McDonalds.
I remember. I worked at McDonald's in 1978, '79 and '80. They were awesome. Real milkshakes, with real strawberries that would get stuck in the straw. Real vanilla. The best for sure. Now it's some kind of yogurt crap... No thanks. 😎
Same here. It also makes me think of the Arby's buffalo chicken slider also having a slice of cheese. The tastes are fine without it and I think detracts with it.
You should look up how many aminals humans have hunted to extinction or put on the endangered species list - It's staggering. Alot of them had nothing to do with food as well.
The fish sandwich was the only sandwich I ever liked from McDonalds I don’t eat beef so I always got the fish sandwich but now I can no longer afford to eat fast food.
@@thankyoujesus2918 Suffering financially and not being able to afford fast food EVER are 2 different things . . . It's a $10 meal (for me in one of the most expensive cities in the country, so even less in most other parts). If you don't ever have $10 to spare, then yes, I worry for you.
Very interesting to learn the history of this burger! And how it's still the "healthiest" despite all those chemicals... I always wondered why McD didn't branch off to fish & chips: a couple of the filets, side of fries, a bit of cole slaw. I'll bet that would sell well, esp. for the carb-conscious types who avoid the buns in the first place.
Around 10 years ago I watched a show on those super factory ships that supply the majority of pollock to stores of all types. In the bottom of the ship are full on production lines where the mass amounts of fish are cleaned and fillet to make super market product, the bones and skin are the run under nylon roller brushes to scrape every last bit of meat loose (waste not want not) and that goes into a slurry that is pressed into the giant blocks that are frozen and then sliced into the signature square shapes, breaded and par cooked and then boxed up and frozen ready to ship to your local McDonalds. I love me so filet o fish even knowing it how it's produced. Oh, and that slurry is also used to make fake crab legs, they make it in large slabs that are boiled with crab water (water that was used to cook actual crab) and they add a strip of red coloring to it and then it gets sliced up in leg size bits and frozen for use in restaurants, and other food makers often sold as Krab (with a K) instead of crab.
Likely, ship processed/frozen seafood is the freshest to same day wild caught seafood. It can't get much fresher than being processed on the boat days before reaching the pier where they would off load caught fish to be processed on land. In Japan, they don't waste anything from a fish carcass, they also will scrape the meat from the tiny bones and use it for a slurry bowl of sushi etc.
@ 4:24 is what a Filet-O-Fish used to look like the filet was bigger then the bun! ANd that looks like a whole slice of cheese to me. I suspect the size changed in 2013 with the switch from cod to pollock.
@@vanpearsall Goldfish are too small for a singular cut. So thatd only make sense if it was ground up, which it doesnt appear to be. Plus, it tastes like pollock. Ive never had goldfish, but ive had pollock from a lot of places, and thats what the McDonald's fish sandwich tastes like.
I'm 50 and never tried a Filet-O-Fish. My catholic family always went to Long John Silvers. However, I've hear they don't taste as good as they used to.
arbys are good just so you know there is carp in there caught in the rock river in Wisconsin trucked down south to a processing plant I watched them catch them load in semi trucks that's what the guys said . I still eat them.
I’m an absolute weirdo, but the filet o fish has been my favorite McDonald’s item since I was a kid. Second to the Big Mac. I just love it. I miss the old days when it would be .99 cents for lent Fridays in my area. I’d order like 4 of them lol.
Apparently most people dont like the sandwhich, but im there with you. Its my favorite item on the menu too, my second favorite being their bacon egg and cheese breakfast bagel sandwiches.
Thats always been my issue with it too. I love them, but its just way too pricy. I loved back a few years ago when they would do 2 for $5 though. I would get them a lot during that deal. Too bad they dont do it anymore.
To anyone not wanting to waste 10mins:
Yes, it's fish. It's called pollack.
Bless you! 😅

Thank you 😂

It's a small miracle when your Filet-O-Fish arrives with the fish patty perfectly centred in the bun.

I'm a fast food fish sandwich lover. For a while in the late 90s to early 00s the BK Big Fish was my go to because it was bigger and you could add lettuce and tomato. In the past couple years Checkers/Rallys Crispy Fish Sandwich is the best fish sandwich fast food can offer imo. However like most of McDs items the Filet-o-Fish has a distinct taste that still reels me in a couple times a year. Great video!🍻
Filet-O-Fish in 1962: $0.24 - 142 grams - 4.25" diameter
Filet-O-Fish in 2024: $6.49 - 138 grams - 3.5" diameter
1962 $0.24 = 2024 $2.56. Percentage increase $2.56 to $6.49 = 153.52%
2024 $6.49 = 1962 $66.36
153.52% price increase for 26.34% less
People in 2024 made a lot more money than in 1962.
1962 $0.62 = 2024 $6.48
2,5 times higher than in 1962
average salary in USA in 1962 = $6200
average salary in USA in 2023 = $59428
1962 $6200 = 2024 $64770
check and mate, mate :)
That's technology is headed
138 is not 26.34% less than 142 but I appreciate you taking the time to do all that math.
@@SriPizzanandaummmm... What? That's not how it works.
I used to love the Filet-o-fish sandwich but haven't eaten fast food in years. I now buy Gorton's (or another frozen brand) breaded fish patties and make my own, with the fish (air fried), a slice of American cheese, tartar sauce, and grocery store bakery buns. They taste pretty good and are cheaper, especially when the fish fillets are buy-one-get-one-free.
Gorton's makes the Filet o fish patties for McDonalds
@@Historical_Vagabond That's probably why I like them 😃
Hopefully you're using Frisch's Tartar Sauce. 🙂
@@GizmoFromPizmo I make my own, can adjust it any way I like depending on my taste that night or day, I like the Gortons also
@@innsanewayne - Throw a little onion powder in it. I think that's Frisch's secret. Also, never use sweet pickle relish - that's just wrong.
ew, all those chemicals in a single sandwich. I'll take 4 please.
I wonder if they tasted better when they used tallow in the deep fat fryer.
Unlike many other restaurants, McDonald's is very transparent about all their ingredients that you can find on their official website. So yeah, nothing unusual in their "chemicals" compared to other commercial food products. So if you enjoy something at McDonald's, just eat it in moderation. It's definitely no worse than many other things people consume regularly.
Such a mood.
@@johngalt97 People say yes.
@@allesindwillkommen I think Mc Donalds should have "clean" versions of some of their items, I would pay more for no chemicals and proper fry oil! Keep the current menu, just make a Health Conscious menu also!
Not only do I not care what is in it, I'm totally craving for one or three right now, at 3:30 in the morning while I sit here awake watching YT videos about Fillet O Fish history. Being 60 myself, I have been eating these for about 50 years and they're still tasty to me.
130 am but I don't want one rn luckily . tomorrow is good
I'm definitely getting 1 for lunch tomorrow!
how have they changed over the past 50 years? Gotten smaller? feels cheaper? How was the halibut version? the cod version? compared to the pollock version?
same i want one now myself!
@@pixelpuppy taste is absolutely the same. I have total deja vu each time I have one
“Squares are the most delicious shape…”
My mouth is watering just at the thought.

The ingredients for a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwich include:
Fish: Alaskan pollock
Bread: Wheat flour, modified food starch, corn flour, salt, yeast, and cellulose gum
Oil: Vegetable oil, including canola, corn, and soybean oil
Other ingredients: Water, whey (milk), dextrose, sugar, paprika and turmeric extract, natural flavors, and tartar sauce, and
Cheese: Processed cheddar cheese slice.
Its all chemicals. Many Americans know this but a slave to their taste buds.
That's not a full break down of the ingredients. For example, the cheese and tartar sauce can be broken down further. The ingredients will also vary slightly depending on the country. And for example the EU generally has higher food standards, and hence better labelling, than the US.
Most of time tge cheese is fake "American cheese" which is not cheese at all
Hey, what about the ingredients for the tartar sauce? I wanted to see the word gherkin somewhere =)
The tartar sauce is the best!
The “Hula Burger” is diabolical
… okay…?
Yeah it was.
If he actually though that taste good I wonder what othe gross food this guy likes to eat
@@JoshStinson-e9j That's a good question.
I'd rather the hula burger
When I worked at McDonald's, the only time I had to cook a filet o fish, was for this one guy. I remember it because he always wanted them well done, I had to deep fry them twice.
I'm going to start doing this.
The fish sandwich was the only thing my mom would ever get from McDonald's. Don't think I ever saw her get anything else.
🧢
I love and MACDONALD is close to me
If you had properly defrosted it probably wouldn't have to deep fry it TWICE genius
Ok you got me hook line and sinker on this one!! Just subscribed!!!
this is what i need! your voice is soothing my man!
The fact that you switched over to the negative side of things without changing the music, tempo or tone was awesome. Subscribed.
It was better tasting back in the 90s. BK's is better, Culver's has the best fish sandwich.
QSRs use different types of fish. Cod, haddock etc.
Culvers is hand breaded. Used to work there in college and hated doing the fish it was a mess 😂
I still love it 😅
Capt. D's has the best fish, IMOP...
BKs fish used to be big, and served in a whopper bun.
As a kid in the 70s, the Filet O Fish was the only item (besides fries) I'd eat at McDonald's. Burger Chef made the best fish sandwiches, but alas they are long gone.
I miss Burger Chef...and Jeff!
I loved BC as a child. Sadly, I was working at Wendy's in the late 70s just a few miles from Speedway,IN. This where the infamous Burger Chef killings happened. 3 high schoolers and the 19 year old manager were abducted while closing, taken to a wooded area and murdered. Never caught the killers.
All of us kids were scared while closing now and we all had to stay until closing was done so the manager could call the Sheriff to send a deputy to watch us leave, get in our cars and drive off.
The cops are pretty sure they know who did it and they both died in prison for other crimes - but there's been no "official closure."
At the same time there was a "mad bomber" leaving bombs in the area. A guy going to a highschool football game in Speedway kicked a duffle bag in the parking lot - it exploded and blew his leg off!
It was one hell of a senior year for me and all of us on the west side of Indianapolis.
@@stevecagle2317 ever caught the guy ?
I remember Burger Chef. They were awesome. To this day, I still don't understand why they went under. Their menu fare was way better than McDonalds or Wendys at the time. Not as good as Burger Kings' Flame broiled whopper though. Again, at that time. Burger King has lost some of it's sizzle since then.
I agree about only ordering those 2 items. Everything else was trash.
Thanks for the interesting back story full of fish/fishing puns!😂
This video explained a lot - like how I knew it wasn't either minced fish-meat, nor was it likely to be an actual filet. Oh, and now I understand that all the extra added ingredients/chemicals are the reason the taste has stayed (mostly) consistent even through several changes in the type of fish used throughout the years.
Informative vid' - thanks!
I worked at McDonalds for a few weeks as a kid 50 years ago.
Back then, they had special steamer cabinets to heat the buns with steam.
Now they throw them in the microwave and before you are half way finished your sandwich its dry as dirt
I handed my first one back thinking it was old, I watched them make a replacement and it was exactly the same.
I worked there in the 1980s and I remember the steamer cabinets.
I worked there 40 years ago & they still had the steamer. This was the first ever McD's branch in New Zealand, which was Manners Mall in Wellington =)
I worked in the 60's at McDonalds for a short time. I remember the steamers and I remember they were really good.
They don't put the buns in the microwave they use a bun toaster
@@porshiaryans9784 They use the toaster for hamburger buns not fish
A double filet is the one of the only things I get at McDonald's. As a converted Catholic, I really love having them on Fridays too!
LOL WOW!
Only a buck 50 for the extra fish Patty!
It's what God would've wanted
Do you ever get tomato on it, tomato on fish is great. And I do that at home since I don't get ripped off at McD's anymore.
be careful with the amount of toxic chemicals they're pumping into your body. don't let them mine your health!
'The healthiest fish sandwich' is another way of saying 'the least toxic fish sandwich.'
For anyone who is interested, Filet-O-Fish: Babies, Human Babies.
One of the secret menu items is a double filet-o-fish. (I stand corrected. It's not so secret. It's on the app and can actually be ordered any time as a regular menu item now. It used to be a secret menu item. But no more. I had one today. Ordered it with shredded lettuce.)
yes my favorite!
I order that and use the receipt to get one free
@@timtolliver183 Use the receipt coupons always.
The only reason I will now go back to McDonalds is to get a double filet o fish. Thanks!
@HDCalame adding onion and pickle to that sandwich...yes please.
What makes me think twice about ordering one is the price. When I was in college, McDonald's sold the filet o fish for 75 cents and their promotion was that this would be their set price from then until forever as an inflation fighter. But that promise didn't last. Now they are 4 to 5 dollars and seem to be smaller than they used to be on top of everything else. At least each sandwich has enough tarter sauce for three sandwiches so you kind of get your money's worth in sauce.
That deal went the way of "eat for a dollar and get change" that they had in the early 70's to.
Talking bass: "GIVE ME BACK THAT FILET-O-FISH!"
What do you mean?
“GIVE ME THAT FISH!”
" give me back that filet o fish give me that fish what if it was you hanging on that wall why you wouldn't be laughing at all give me back that filet o fish give me that fish"
What if it were you hanging up on this wall, if it were in that sandwich you wouldn't be laughing at all!
Lmfao 😂😂
I've never eaten a Filet-O-Fish and I don't think I ever will.
I went from nothing... to wanting a Filet-O-Fish, to craving a Filet-O-Fish, then to being put off and back to craving it by the end. Aye aye what a rollercoaster. 😆
Love Filet-O-Fish! One of my favorites. The best time to order one is between 11:30AM-1:00PM.
What’s magical about that time? Just more folks ordering them?
@@CreachterZ I'd guess that the frying oil is freshest, then.
@ Wouldn’t they fry them in the same vat as the french fries?
@@CreachterZ No, the fries would taste like fish. I'm certain they have a small dedicated fryer for the fish.
@@richardmerriam7044yes they do have dedicated fryers for the filet o’fish
Well that's it; I'm having fish sticks for dinner tonight.
better than the toxic chemicals that McDonalds is pumping into their "food"

Eating a Filet-O-Fish while watching this... you'll never take away my Filet-O-Fish
It’s 1030am on the east coast lmao. U must be in Europe or something, probably way better over there
🤮🤮🤮
Ray croc is still a genious protectionists McDonalds is literally the most consistent fast food place I Been to
0:51 how far we dive in today's video how would we even know if the fish is real fish because we don't have any computers or any technicians or any staff we just decided to make a video on the internet
I swear someone once told me that the Filet-O-Fish is way better than anyone expects, and earlier this year I finally decided to give it a try. What I got was a patty that couldn't have weighed more than 50 grams, was ridiculously mushy, and just barely had the taste of fish. The half slice of cheese was just an extra kick in the balls. I can't imagine how anyone who's ever eaten one of these things would ever want to eat it a second time.
Agreed. It's no better than any other fast food fish sandwich. Always mushy. Always bland. Soggy even. Yuck.
@@CooperJones777 Wrong. It is the worst fish sandwich ever made in the history of the world. Tasteless, mushy, greasy. Chalie the Tuna would qualify.
Just like all the other muck that they serve. Disgusting and leaves you hungry afterwards no matter how much of it you eat.
Nostalgia really. They used to be good, about a decade ago. . . The patties actually used to be the size of the bun too, not anymore. They always taste like dried out slop. I recently just had the arby's fish sandwitch and just like culver's it still tastes like fish unlike the slop served at McDs. It's actually so bad now that even after over 10k rating the McD in my area can't even get a 4.0 rating. That's horrendous!
Something I have learned today is that in America they only give half a slice of cheese on the filletofish.
I was so confused about the comments when I read them at first but apparently thats a thing lol
For anybody interested - The filet-o-fish is made from 100% pure fresh caught (cut, packaged, and flash frozen while still on the boat) Atlantic Pollack.
As in Jackson Pollack?
Depends where you're from, most european/english ruled countries use cuts from frozen blocks of Hoki from New Zealand
@@ferociousgumby he meant polish people
Thank you. Now I can stop watching.
Applying the breading must happen on-shore. I'm looking forward to Bobby Kennedy getting the soybean oil out of our diet. That stuff is carcinogenic, from what I understand.

I worked at a fish processing factory in maintenance from the mid 80's till the mid 90's. The line I was assigned to actually processed McDonald's fish. I can say for a fact that they put out a quality product. Every time we'd run McDonald's fish they would have a McDonald's rep there watching us to make sure the product was right. That was when we used cod. My favorite type of fish! Pollock is very similar.👍🐟😁
Cod is still better, though.
the filet o fish is hilariously unpopular in the UK due to our strong fish and chips culture
if you ordered one you'd be seen as a bit weird
My guilty pleasure 🙃
so ,so good with a pineapple mango smoothie
It is the perfect synthetic sandwich anywhere, the flavors are so balanced. I can eat them all day. I do however like to scrape off the excess tartar sauce
What's so guilty about it. They are nasty!
To be honest. I stayed away from it for the longest times and I tried it for the first time last year. And they’re freaking good!! Too bad they’re expensive now 😂
they're smaller than they used to be, too
I used to light the gas ovens in an ashtray factory (yes, that was a thing in the '70s), for $10 per month.
That was my high school lunch budget for the MONTH.
47¢ for hamburger + root beer Mon-Thu, Filet-o-fish on Friday, 42¢. UNDER $2.50 per WEEK back then.
Filet-o-fish is a $3 sandwich selling for $6. Rip-off. And HALF a slice of cheese?
got one yesterday at $5.19. They shrunk the dang patty earlier this year too. Got a BK Big fish a few weeks ago, they shrunk the patty.
@@stevewashere4122 Problem with Bk's fish is the odd, old fry oil taste. And BK's tartar sauce isn't very good.
They are one of the most perfect food creations on Gods green earth, I adore them
*But WHY do they only have HALF a slice of cheese?*
I can't help but think that the "Hulaburger" competition was a gimmick to bring attention to the Filet-O-Fish.
I haven’t had any Fillet-o-Fish in years until this past summer. What a disappointment that was! McDonald’s makes them so much smaller now than the one we see at @ 00:22 in the video. I can probably fit 2 or even 3 of them in my hand!
There’s a double fillet-o-fish
Agreed l bought 2 just last week ridiculously small wasn’t the case in the past so now l buy frozen crumbed fish tartar sauce garlic Aolie sauce tasty cheese on warmed Turkish rolls way better option kills it and a fraction of cost and easy to prep
As a teen I worked at Wendy's and we called our fish sandwich "grease sharks." We sold so few of them that we fried them to order. We only had 4 flyers and the last one furthest from the bin was dedicated to grease sharks because it made fries taste fishy.
Filet o fish is small, overpriced garbage and the last time I actually ordered one, it was old, cold and the bun was stale.
If I want square fish, I'll buy Gorton's at the grocery - so, almost never!
I'll take stuff that never happened for $500 Alex..
Old, cold, and the bun was stale... that's just McDonalds in general.
Fry you a catfish fillet, put it on a toasted bun, add a slice of cheese and some tartar sauce and you have the ultimate filet o fish sandwich.
Facts😊
Cheese is nasty on fish.
2025 Since McDonald's Has a Chicken Big Mac' Why Not a Filet-O-Fish Big Mac'?
They were BOTH misguided: They should have combined their ideas and made the "Tropical fish sandwich"
I stopped going to McDumpers years ago, the food is overpriced and the quality is not what it used to be.
I'm nearly 60, and I don't remember McDonald's ever being of anything other than questionable quality.
I only go there for breakfast when I need to because they're the only ones open when I'm on my way to a job site
Kinda surprised more restaurants don't offer a fish burger. In the US I find fish & chips no problem but fish in burger form I rarely come across other than McDonalds.
Come to Minnesota. Breaded walleye sandwiches are pretty common
You know that “burger” is just slang for hamburger, right? Do you call Chic-Fil-A sandwiches “chicken burgers”?
@@nkabui8wnabnd8099999 yes, anything in a bun is a burger in Australia, non of that sandwich nonsense which is two slices of bread.
@@nkabui8wnabnd8099999... Yes?

Watery fish on a foam bun with plastic cheese.
Yum
Stop it. You're making me hungry
1/2 a slice of plastic cheese
Back when I worked there in 1978 the cheese was decent American Cheese.
Excellent narration. Thank you for not using a crappy computer voice.
Mc Donald’s need to bring back the southwest , Caesar salads
Of course they are fish ... ! -- it was once Cod but now Pollock.
Actually caught , cleaned breaded and frozen on the boat that catches them
All done by Ronald himself!
Somebody said they were using goldfish now
@@vanpearsall Its definitely not goldfish. If you know the taste of pollock, you can easily tell its the same.
What ever happened to milkshakes at McDonald's. Remember those?
They don't have them anymore??
After Jan. 20th - Make Milkshakes Great Again! 😅
theyre always broken 😡
@@lancerevell5979they will be taxed like everything else. The incoming administration loves taxes, they just call them tariffs.
I remember. I worked at McDonald's in 1978, '79 and '80. They were awesome. Real milkshakes, with real strawberries that would get stuck in the straw. Real vanilla. The best for sure. Now it's some kind of yogurt crap... No thanks. 😎
The cheese never made sense to me.
Same here. It also makes me think of the Arby's buffalo chicken slider also having a slice of cheese. The tastes are fine without it and I think detracts with it.
cause we love cheese..
The bun is like styrofoam.
the urban myths about mcdonalds food not being real is so weird
We ate so many filet-o-fish that we put that fish on endangered species list! Wow!
You should look up how many aminals humans have hunted to extinction or put on the endangered species list - It's staggering. Alot of them had nothing to do with food as well.
god bless human endeavor.
Ah yes, the og narrator. ❤
The fish sandwich was the only sandwich I ever liked from McDonalds I don’t eat beef so I always got the fish sandwich but now I can no longer afford to eat fast food.
I'm hoping you meant biologically rather than your income has stagnated that much . . . .
@@sirebellum0Everyone is suffering financially,what are you talking about!
@@thankyoujesus2918 Suffering financially and not being able to afford fast food EVER are 2 different things . . .
It's a $10 meal (for me in one of the most expensive cities in the country, so even less in most other parts). If you don't ever have $10 to spare, then yes, I worry for you.
You know, in hindsight, that processed Krabby Patty from the Krabby-O-Monday doesn't seem to unrealistic anymore.
Everything you eat besides fresh produce and homemade meals with your own ingredients is processed. Restaurants are no different especially fast food.
Very interesting to learn the history of this burger! And how it's still the "healthiest" despite all those chemicals... I always wondered why McD didn't branch off to fish & chips: a couple of the filets, side of fries, a bit of cole slaw. I'll bet that would sell well, esp. for the carb-conscious types who avoid the buns in the first place.
Around 10 years ago I watched a show on those super factory ships that supply the majority of pollock to stores of all types. In the bottom of the ship are full on production lines where the mass amounts of fish are cleaned and fillet to make super market product, the bones and skin are the run under nylon roller brushes to scrape every last bit of meat loose (waste not want not) and that goes into a slurry that is pressed into the giant blocks that are frozen and then sliced into the signature square shapes, breaded and par cooked and then boxed up and frozen ready to ship to your local McDonalds. I love me so filet o fish even knowing it how it's produced. Oh, and that slurry is also used to make fake crab legs, they make it in large slabs that are boiled with crab water (water that was used to cook actual crab) and they add a strip of red coloring to it and then it gets sliced up in leg size bits and frozen for use in restaurants, and other food makers often sold as Krab (with a K) instead of crab.
I dont think it is made from slurry, the flakiness of the fish is wrong for that. Not saying it’s great fish but i flakes like a more solid fish.
Likely, ship processed/frozen seafood is the freshest to same day wild caught seafood. It can't get much fresher than being processed on the boat days before reaching the pier where they would off load caught fish to be processed on land. In Japan, they don't waste anything from a fish carcass, they also will scrape the meat from the tiny bones and use it for a slurry bowl of sushi etc.
@ 4:24 is what a Filet-O-Fish used to look like the filet was bigger then the bun! ANd that looks like a whole slice of cheese to me.
I suspect the size changed in 2013 with the switch from cod to pollock.
Oh yeah, its size has changed at least twice since the original. Most of the time it's a rather undersized sandwich, nearly a snack
Somebody said they started using goldfish
@@vanpearsall Goldfish are too small for a singular cut. So thatd only make sense if it was ground up, which it doesnt appear to be.
Plus, it tastes like pollock. Ive never had goldfish, but ive had pollock from a lot of places, and thats what the McDonald's fish sandwich tastes like.
Worked in thems at McDonald’s and rest assure that it’s a half slice since forever.
The official sandwich of old people
You have no respect for your elders, young whippersnapper! 😅
Have I been old since elementary school?
It was my grandmothers favorite. 😂
Apparently there are a lot of old youngsters running around. All of us in Jr high and high school ate filet o fish sandwiches weekly.
I'm 50 and never tried a Filet-O-Fish. My catholic family always went to Long John Silvers. However, I've hear they don't taste as good as they used to.
Filet-O-Fish was always one of my favorite things to eat at McDonald's. Actually, today, I'd rather have a Culver's fish sandwich!
4:41 Wendy in her spy days before starting her own fast food chain......
The filet o fish is one of the most overpriced items on the McD's menu, as well. Used to be a good deal, now it's just overpriced.
You couldn't pay me to eat there, it's garbage.
I like this guy the best, but we should give the other voices a chance! As long as they're not AI.
We want two changes: 1) Change the fish to Orange Roughy and 2) Make the fish rectangular and a bigger sandwich
I never considered McDummies as a place where real food was sold.
I haven't ate fast food in a while. I think Arby's has the best fish sandwich. I loved their fish flatbreads.
I would say Culver's.
@amyrussell860 I have never been to one of them. I'm in pa. Not sure where the closest would be located.
@@Riztastic1Head into Ohio, you'll stumble across one sooner or later.

I always feel nauseous like I ate detergents with fast food garbage
I’m an absolute weirdo, but the filet o fish has been my favorite McDonald’s item since I was a kid. Second to the Big Mac. I just love it. I miss the old days when it would be .99 cents for lent Fridays in my area. I’d order like 4 of them lol.
Apparently most people dont like the sandwhich, but im there with you. Its my favorite item on the menu too, my second favorite being their bacon egg and cheese breakfast bagel sandwiches.
I think the marketing trial of stacking more than one Filet on a sandwich was a horrible idea.
They missed a golden opportunity calling it "the McCod"
I had one for the first time recently and they are delish - but the size vs price will keep me from ordering it again.
That's true for the whole menu these days at any given fast food place tho tbh
Thats always been my issue with it too. I love them, but its just way too pricy.
I loved back a few years ago when they would do 2 for $5 though. I would get them a lot during that deal. Too bad they dont do it anymore.
Most food is garbage. I don't know what we're going to do,
Try Soylent Green.
@Supernaut2000 same difference

It is definitely fish, I bought one years back and it had bones.
I once found a bone in one too. 😮

I can hardly wait for the imitation bun to happen..............
Very few locations serve it right, but when its right it's good
Really? Ive had it at a few locations and never had any issues with it. Always tastes the same, and always tastes great.
Wendy's agrees: Squares are the most delicious shape!
Yet sandwiches made with square slices taste better cut into triangles.
