Churro fries with Nutella. Yes please!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I've never had a filet of fish before.
Because of this thread, I almost broke down and got one when I was running errands today. But I didn't get one ....cos if I did, pinside would win.
Damn you Pinside!!

Quoted from RWH:Looks like he went on a fishing expedition and brought home some chicken sauce.
Quoted from skink91:I don’t even know what chicken sauce is.
Quoted from punkin:Don't have it here either, but i can imagine.
It was pretty good. It was a little on the salty side....but it's was better than what I was expecting. The steamed bun was a nice touch too. I don't like tartar sauce so I substituted it with mayonnaise. (aka Chicken sauce) I could see myself ordering another at some point.
Damn you Pinside....you win this round.
Quoted from Electrocute:Yuck! I will not eat anything with mayo.
Must be a french thing. I put it on my hotdogs and hamburgers with ketchup.
Goes great with freedom fries too 
Quoted from ImNotNorm:mayonnaise. (aka Chicken sauce)
Never heard that one, you learn something everyday! 
Quoted from punkin:I imagined wrong, mayo eh? Isn't tartare sauce just mayo with a bit of gherkin and some capers?
Pretty much, yes.
Quoted from RCA1:Pretty much, yes.
yeah, i've made it many, many times. Was just wondering how some one can not like tartare but like mayo. Must be an aversion to the pickle.

That's exactly it! Not a fan of the pickle.

That’s what she said.
Quoted from RWH:I love Micky D's fillet o fish. The best cod sandwich around here (all year long) is at Frisch's, they are good and their tartar sauce is killer.
No way, Izzy's cod sandwich smacks any competition off the plate. If that doesn't convince you the potatoe pancake will.

Quoted from Puffdanny:Have you ever had a Filet o fish on weed?
Have you ever had one not on weed? I wonder what that’s like...
Quoted from Pinstein:Fish Friday Everyone! I was wondering if MickeyD ever had a fish character like the hamburgler or grimmace. Turns out I guess they did for an ad or two. Meet "Phil A. O'fish."

Pretty sure we had a Captain Crook glass (along with Grimace and Ronald)
Well played putting his head on a pike though... don’t want him stealing your fish sandwiches!
Jack in The Box had some similar characters way back if I remember correctly.
And now I am craving a Moby Jack.
Gotta say those Burger King fish sandwiches a few days ago were terrible.
#bringbackFilet'O'FishFriday!
Quoted from Murphdom:On the topic of McDonald’s has anyone ever had their pizza? Apparently it was an item on the menu in the 80’s and early 90’s which I don’t remember. There are still 4 locations that still serve it. Two in Ohio, one in West Virginia and one in Florida.

Best hangover food ever.
Quoted from mooch:The other day, I had a “wish” sandwich.
This picture rather accurately sums up my last few months.

Next time SUB sesame bun and you’ll have the perfect sandwich. Sometimes I’ll SUB Big Mac sauce but I prefer mayo.

By the way, finally got around to trying KwikTrip’s fish sandwich: it was great and obviously a tribute to the OG f-o-f (had the one slice of cheese melted on it).
Could’ve used more tartar sauce for my taste, but will definitely get it again.
A Commercial Fisherman told me Monkfish is used for Fillet of Fish since they run out of everything else.
Look up a photo of a Monkfish. Yum!
They now exclusively use Alaskan pollock, so no.
That’s not to say I won’t eat monkfish... not really particular about how weird a fish looks before I would eat it I guess.

In some parts of the world people eat much worse.

Quoted from TheLaw:Hey ots not the real thing so do whatever you have to
Of course, but I've never steamed a bun before, dunno whether to use a lid or not. Want soft buns, not soggy ones and thought someone may have a tip or two.
Shit I’m back here again .Now I’m thinking about taking the ride .Buns have to be right .I like coming home with them after a KFC night and tossing a spoonful of cole slaw on that beauty .
Having made 1K+ filet of fish sandwiches in the 70's and early 80's working at McDonald's I can say they suck now compared to then. I made so many I still remember they were boxed 3 rows of 15 "slabs" for 45 per box. They had to have a dedicated deep fryer because the pies will smell of fish if dropped in the same vat. Back then every product was fried in beef fat, what they called "shortening". The real FOF was "North Atlantic white cod". Now they taste like crap, Monkfish? I'll never order another.
Quoted from tomdrum:Now they taste like crap, Monkfish?
Alaska Pollock, and they are perfection… you shut your dirty mouth.
Had two with fries on them and a choc shake to sip at the same time last week. That's why i wanted to make some, McD's is 20 mins away and i only go in there once or twice a year if i'm on a trip.
Always get the same thing;
Two fillet's, large fries, small shake. Dip the frys in the shake too.
Quoted from skink91:Alaska Pollock, and they are perfection… you shut your dirty mouth.
LOL. They taste like fish paste now inside breading. Sorry if you never had the real FOF but they still suck now. I used to make the double FOF at lunch, 2 patties, 3 half slices of cheese plus the tarter sauce top and bottom on a 3 piece toasted Big Mac bun. Now that was good.

Just had 2 yesterday and they were flaky and heavenly.
