    I am in Finland for work and discovered that their McDonalds do not sell the FoF. The horror.

    True story- 28 ish years ago i I ordered a bk fish sammich.. there was worms or maggots mixed into the patty that i only discovered after i bit into it and looked to compare the texture to a f.o.f.! Needless to say, I've never had another fish sammich from bk again. I remember because my kids' mom worked there when we were young, and she sold it to me.. is it a coincidence we broke up not too long after that ?! Hmmm.

    I couldn't wait for the Lent specials to kick in, so I didn't care if it was off kilter with tartar everywhere it shouldn't be. After a few hours helping friends & family deal with the latest snowfall, it was a warm, tasty fishy reward for a job well done!

    Ahh… the comfort of the warm FoF on a winter’s day. It’s as if the angels created a perfect fish-meatloaf, to warm the sole… errr… soul.

    Also - didn’t Lent start on Wednesday Feb 22? Where are our f-ing FoF deals for Lent? WTF McDonalds? Its MFing Easter season… give us our F-ing FoF deals!

    Just not seeing it in Socal at least yet. Still $5.49 for a FoF. It was $2.50 each last year.

    Buy one FoF, get another for $1 in the app.

    #2061 1 year ago

    I asked about FoF specials last time I was at the Drive-Thru a few days ago, and was told there are no FoF specials that they knew of other than whatever kind of App special there was.

    I suppose it makes business sense to steer specials to the App, but I won't fall for it.

    I guess I'll have to enjoy my FoF fix at full price.

    I must confess to having “ a fling”, “ an affair” this afternoon with the Specialty Hawaiian Fish sammich at Arby’s. It was great but just hope McD’s doesn’t find out.

    If you’re going to stray, do it right and get the Walleye sandwich from Culver’s.

    #2065 1 year ago

    Oh the shame I am feeling right now!

    ( I’ll keep that suggestion in mind)

    Being lent, surprised this thread has died off so much

    Quoted from RyanStl:

    No deals on app showing for me… despite the lent thing. To be honest… am starting to feel a bit like F McDs and their stupid ass prices.

    Makes me most mad because that sandwich is too good for that punk-ass restaurant.

    #2069 1 year ago

    On a pinch, I used to grab food from there for the kids to do a cheap, quick meal time to time. No longer. I can get better food for just slightly more.

    The FoF and fries are the only thing they do well IMO… and if a FoF meal is gonna run me like $9, and more than $4 for extra FoFs? They will never see another dime from me again. Bunch of clowns.

    #2071 1 year ago

    That’s right folks… the thrill is gone!

    #2072 1 year ago

    I can go to an actual restuarant now for not much more. I totally agree with you skink91.

    If you haven’t tried the Walleye sandwich from Culver’s, do it. Delicious and it’s only like a $1 more than FoF. I think it’s only seasonal tho, I believe spring and fall time.

    #2074 1 year ago

    Well… I was certainly full of piss-and-vinegar last night. “Damn you McDonalds!”

    Ha. Ahhh… angry old men are funny.

    I woke up with regret at my harsh words.

    I have actually had that one… in fact I ordered both the cod and walleye sandwiches together, but I liked the cod better.

    Here’s the thing about that - for a sandwich, I almost always prefer the white flaky almost ‘fish-potatoey’ filets to the better ones (no clue why).

    Don’t get me wrong though, I have eaten a metric crap-ton of fried walleye in my life and it really doesn’t get much better than that. Especially fresh, right out of cold water, and coated with Shore Lunch (my favorite is the cajun flavor).

    McD's FOF is last. Culvers is 1st and 2nd. I'll have to try one next time I'm in a state that has locations.

    My closest culver's seems to be 498 miles away.

    FOF being last tells me everything I need to know about ‘tasteofhome.com’. Communists.

    Ray Kroc had a saying which applies here. "When you green you're growing, when you're ripe you rot."

    The FOF needs to be upgraded to compete now.
