    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.

    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.

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.

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.
