Quoted from skink91:There’s no way in a country as insanely litigious as the US, in an age that can easily test for DNA of the animal to confirm it, that a large business would take that risk for what has been said to be their least selling menu item.
Besmircher!
theres a study that shows subway tuna has no tuna and Taco bell beef is not beef or is sawdust, but FOF is fish and that works for me.Not sure if these are rumours but it was on my local news for a bit.

I bought the combo FOF yesterday and it was 9.49 and this location required a magnifying glass to find the fish.My other location does a better job and cheaper,not sure how I got pencil whipped this time must have been the medium drink.

Quoted from skink91:I want my FoF created by an artiste (take special note of the fancy ‘e’ spelling, because this shit needs to be perfecto. (Extra special fancy note using a Spanish word).
No messing around!
People learn to take pride in their work at a young age if at all.I always wanted to put out the best looking product no matter what my wages.If you ask for a job be prepared to do it .Having said that I need my FOF today,maybe two.
Quoted from skink91:I was worried someone would try to outdo me when I said I would get 3 earlier… and wanted to also set the bar here (as the OP).
Git some FoF!
[quoted image]
I have to ask .How do you feel ?You lead by example you the Man.
Quoted from RyanStl:I had a buy 1 get 1 free so went for a FOF and a Big Mac. Both were picture perfect, but I didn't take one of the Big Mac because we don't have a thread for it. The FOF was amazing, but the Big Mac was not what I remembered. The burgers were tiny and mostly bread. Here is my FOF ordered as it comes (edit: first picture taken was with bun on as handed to me)[quoted image][quoted image]:
7.75
Quoted from ImNotNorm:McDonald's got back to me when I asked then why some locations grill/toast their FoF buns while other locations steam them. This is the response they gave me.
Seems like the franchisees get some leighway with the FoF bun preparation.
[quoted image]
next maybe a list of locations steaming Buns.My closest 2 locations in San Jose Ca are toasters.I still enjoy though.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:We had the grandkids over yesterday, so we made the rare trip to McD's for take out.
After seeing all the FOF porn pics here, I thought I'd try one.
While this one looks like it was made on the wrong side of the tracks and possibly dragged behind the delivery truck, it tasted quite good.
I really wanted to go with some of the added extras others have mentioned, but at this particular restaurant, that would have been a dicey choice. I was lucky there was even a FOF in the box.

6.0
Quoted from Kkoss24:I’ve lost 16 lbs on my wife’s natzi diet and she asked me to go pick up our oldest from practice .I said “of course” and had a plan .You know what I’m talking bout ! It’s just how I remembered ! Golden bun,Centered properly and a delight viewed from the side ! Oh how I’ve missed you !
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Quoted from TitusPullo:My FoF from yesterday. I think they may of over steamed the bun. Additionally, the placement of the components was suboptimal.
[quoted image]
Best and worst 9 and a 4 ?
Quoted from tullster:Had some last minute Christmas errands to run and decided to stop for a quick FoF lunch. Long line at the drive thru, so I didn’t want to jinx the order with any modding tricks. I normally avoid fries, but my dining companion begged for me to add them to the order.
Not crispy hot, lackluster placement and pretty sloppy on the tartar give a grade of 7 each. Despite the poor grade, it hit the spot and the fries got the wag of approval.

Quoted from Pinbub:My favorite pizza is extra red sauce, sardines, garlic and onion, preferably red. My wife doesn't like that one for some reason.
so you figured out a way to keep people from taking your pie,put sardines on it.
Quoted from tullster:Tried a mod today that for me, turned out pretty darn good. Pickles and diced onions. Not as strong as the slivered onions, the diced cheeseburger onions seem to blend in better and the pickles work too. It does take away from the fish, but it feels pretty good in the belly!
[quoted image]
perfect,I like the onions diced instead of slivered as long as they can handle the change at the drive thru.Add a couple drops of Tabasco.Nice FOFs
Quoted from Slacker_Quacker:Here's one with the diced onions mod. The diced onions blend well with the tartar's texture and don't have as strong an onion taste as the silvered onions, resulting in a onion flavor that only complements the other flavors instead of overshadowing them.
[quoted image][quoted image]
looks good but your toasted 7.0
Quoted from dirkdiggler:I haven't had a FoF since 1985.
After seeing this thread you guys inspired me to try one again.
Waited 10 minutes in the North Battleford drive thru lane only to be told they don't have FoF. The girl on the headset was very confused and actually said, we sell hamburgers here.
2 for 1 Big Macs instead.
I'll try again when in Edmonton next week.
*edit* Other location has them on the menu. Hope to try one this weekend
must be the same dingbat that i asked for an orange soda,she responded we have coke and diet coke.lazy
Quoted from Sinistarrett:So today after work I decided to stop at the same McDonald's where I had the most sublime FoF meal last Friday. Unfortunately the experience was not to be duplicated today.
Once again I got the FoF meal with a double cheeseburger kicker, but this time the burger had obviously been hanging around for a while, so it was somehow dried out and soggy at the same time. The french fries were flaccid. as for the Filet, Ill let the photo speak for itself. Im sure you will quickly see the issue with the bungled buns.
But I’m no quitter, Ill be back next week to try my luck again.[quoted image][quoted image]
you got toasted

Quoted from SuperGrafx:Saga update:
Mcd's reached out to me via phone to apologize and acknowledge my feedback. She said they take the complaint seriously and will work with all franchises in the area to retrain staff about proper food standards, etc. That's all well and good, but I don't really hold out much hope in that dept.
As a sign of goodwill, they will send me send some promo coupons.
And yes, I did take the opportunity to bring up the Pinside FoF thread again, lol.
Good work,so how will we be splitting up the coupons ?
Quoted from vid1900:None of the franchise locations seem to do anything other than the toasted
But you do get a full slice of cheese, and the ice cream machines always work...
My local place is usually steamed but the same place different day has sold me toasted.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:My apology letter (and free coupons) from Mcdonalds corporate arrived today. The letter states that they've been in contact with the various locations regarding the slipping quality standards and improvements will be made to their procedures.
We'll see...we'll see.[quoted image][quoted image]
Sounds good I better send in my local scorecard.The goods and the bads.lol not really unless they give me a scrotum Filet.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:Since my usual location is under renovations, I stopped at a different one this evening.
Not the best, nor was it the worst, but still a bit underwhelming.
I may 'peace out' of the FoF scene for a bit since the quality continues to slide. At these prices, I expect my sandwiches to be assembled with some modicum of care, but I guess that's too much to ask.[quoted image][quoted image]
are these guys still working from home throwing it in the box.I bet I could get better placement using a drone.doh
Quoted from xsvtoys:Socal has Friday $2.50 FOF. If I skipped the fries I could have had a FOF and a Coke for less than $4. Actually afterwards, I kinda wished I would have bought a second FOF instead of fries. It would have been less money, basically the same calorie count, and would have been much tastier. That first FOF went quick. Fries were so-so.

Great deal.Funny your potatoes cost more than your fish what is happening here.

Quoted from Geddy2112:If you get the McDonald's app on your phone you can get the Filet-O-Fish sandwich buy one get one free everyday plus you earn points my last three Filet-O-Fish has were free
Whaaat,is this true ? I will try it thanks
Quoted from EasternBloc:Tallulah, Louisiana
Cheese on top, toasted bun and both were absolutely inedible. Bloated dead alligators have washed up in the yard that smelled better. Zero stars.
[quoted image]
as the Soggy Bottom Boys would say and its my motto I am a man of constant sorrow.So sad .Sorry my Friend.
Quoted from EasternBloc:So I set them out behind the barn to see if the feral cats would turn their nose up to them as well! Missed meal turns into a fun experiment.
[quoted image]
I think I saw the ants carry that off earlier but it looks like they brought it back.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:[quoted image]</blockqu
I remember when I was a kid, the FOF was one of the cheaper items on the menu.
Now that they are equally priced with the Big Mac I have not ordered one in a loooong time.
Why do they only put half a slice of cheese on them?
Seems ridiculous.
the fish to cheese ratio is a very scientific equation.I remember the Big Mac was a big sandwich but maybe I was a kid because now it fits in 1 hand like a slider.Doh

Quoted from pinballinreno:Link?
Fast food fails me 100% of the time.
Its just incredibly stupid what they fail to accomplish for $15/hr

Quoted from poppapin:McD's is an entry level position making a lower pay rate.
Sign at the local drive thru says 16.50 to 18.50 starting pay at Mickie Ds,Im old but when I was getting minimum I got like 2.65 hr and nobody expected me to pay my rent and household bills with it.These jobs were for teenagers and seniors not careers and head of Households.

Im talking about entry staff not managers just to be clear.I know its a lot of work to run a business.
Quoted from tomdrum:The assembly worker is using a sauce gun that drops a measured shot of tarter sauce, one squeeze, one shot. They'd of had to give you a double shot which would been way more sauce then pictured. Looks to be the standard amount having made 1K FOF sandwiches personally.
I hope my post wasnt offensive to anyone,I was talking about years ago wages.Today where I live in this area 18 bucks an hour would mean you need room mates just to pay rent.Everyone who works deserves decent pay and healthcare benefits IMO.

Quoted from sliprose:My Filet O Fish consumption ended when they stopped including it in their buy one get one deals. As much as I like FoFs, it's a pretty small sandwich for $5. I'll be back when they offer the 2 for $6 special or better.

Quoted from punkin:Merely suggesting that cocktail sauce of any description is not an ingredient listed as FoF.
We were discussing ketchup/catsup and its uses,agree not for FOF unless its what you like.
You dip your fries in your milkshake thats not on FOF either.
Quoted from punkin:You fucked it up.
I can order fries and a shake only and it has nothing to do with a FoF (as if i would).
But my particular FoF crime is putting some of the fries (undipped) on my FoF.
So if you would like to disparage me for FoF corruption, that's the place to start.
sometimes you have trouble following the conversation.P.S. theres a snake in your boot
Quoted from punkin:True, i started with truculence that meant i didn't use my brain for the normal things as a child, then moved to drugs and alcohol.
It's not an excuse, just a reason.
And the snake is in my hat, not my boot.

Quoted from mof:I tried to treat myself to a FOF for $6, and I pull up, and the app says it's $.50 double cheeseburger week, and frankly we all know they just aren't that good but...
$6.00 vs. $0.50 is not a fair fight...
I miss you FOF.
So did you order 10 and throw away 8 Buns ?

Quoted from sliprose:Apparently there’s an internet thing called the Mississippi Treat which is a FoF topped with an Oreo McFlurry. Not so sure about this one.
Getting close to Lent, hopefully McDs rolls out some FoF deals as it’s been awhile and full price FoF are pricey

Quoted from o-din:That is the original location in Downey about 20 minutes from here. At one time, that is what most of them looked like.
A little closer to home in Fullerton is one that has been remodeled slightly, but keeping with the spirit it still has the arches and the original mascot Speedee.
It really is a beautiful thing.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Oh Yes,The Golden Arches.
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:Yeah AZ must be too far from the ocean?? Interesting to see FOF prices from around the US and beyond. Here is tonight’s Atlanta prices “for fun”.
App has free any size fries or 20% off order “deals” not added yet also. [quoted image]

Quoted from ralphs007:Many years ago, I use to buy a fish sandwich at Burger King ,made like a whopper. I wouldn’t rate it above a Filet-O-Fish,but It was pretty good.
I tried the BK also,it ate like a piece of burnt toast.

Quoted from stubborngamer:Yes, both back to back. If it's not obvious from looking at the pictures they are value menu remixes, with the smaller patties. Though the fish was normal size.
Drink was a bottle of water.
I joke but dont judge,I could put away some grub myself.
