I saw this on a tv in a bar or else I would never of knew it existed. Any takers?
I've never even dared to order a filet-o-fish so I'd pass on this monstrosity as well.
I'm high school we used to self-build the surf and turf and the land, sea, and air.
Also, The Filet o' Fish is great and the chains number one selling item, worldwide
But how do square fish swim?
I will occasionally eat McDonald’s fries, but I won’t touch anything else from that dispensary of nasty. It’s all disgusting!
I love me a mcfish.

The quarter pounders are the only fresh meat they cook in house.

And they’re gross! Shouldn’t even be called a burger.

I rarely eat out. Like once or twice a month. I favor Arbys but the roast beef is loaded with sodium. Been liking the taco bell steak power bowls. (edited)
We don’t eat out often either, so when we do we want good food. Only eat fast food when we’re on the road. I’m a better trained chef than most local restaurants have. I’m an excellent cook with high standards. When we go out, it’s because I want a break from the kitchen.

Same here pretty much, last night we just made a local sourced organic turkey, with everything homemade. Tonight turkey pot pies and then with the carcass turkey Soup
^thats the way to do it!
I would give that a hard pass, looks nasty, not eaten Mcdonalds in years.... The Mcfish is pretty good though, they have gotten crazy expensive for soilent green, the only fast food I eat anymore is White Castle...and not that often, the window in my winter car does not open easily.... :)
I love when the "I am the best chef I know" comments start coming out in a McDonald's thread.
It's a joke sandwich the single most wide-spread fast food chain on the planet... it's obviously not fine dinig.
I don't touch McDeath, or about any fast food joints. I'll occasionally grab a Veggie Delight sandwich from Subway, but it's rare.

Criticizing fast food but munching on a Subway sandwich is hilariously hypocritical
Subway is not allowed to call their "bread" bread in some European countries.
I believe we don't have a Subway in our town anymore, but Doner Kebab is a million times better anyway.
No takers I see. To me its kind of like an egg on a burger, innovative to the creator but not so appealing. I'm used to the good delis that do scratch cooking here but I sometimes get a filet o fish while out riding because there is a spot to hang out close by next to a pond.
McD’s makes me feel lethargic. Like, have to take a nap after eating it. I assume it’s the “high” they deal out to foodies that like that feeling. Not for me.
I eat whatever is around. Usually we cook our food and we’re pretty decent.
I was at an airport last week w/only 40 min before my flight boarded and the Mcdonald’s was the fastest/shortest line near my gate. So I ate a quarter pounded deluxe or whatever its called.
It was food. Lots of mayo. Good enough.
I would try this sandwich but it looks too hard to eat. Damn patty is falling off the bun half the time with Mcdonald’s burgers anyways. In this case, a whole fish sandwich will be shitting out the back side of the burger.
Stephen has the right idea. If you have to eat fast food, get White Castle. Those things are delicious and make no attempt at being healthy. Just a greasy, salty bit of junk food as it is intended to be.

You guys that live in bigger cities think this is a joke but seriously, in my 60k population small city, there are like 6 good restaurants, I will only eat at about 4 of them. The other 100 are shitty bar food, frozen sam's club hamberders cooked within an inch of their life. One place I went to actually took a frozen Sam's club Patty and put it in a convection oven of all things.
Even the ethnic restaurants, who I'm sure have Great Cooks working in the back, cook shitty water down flavorless food for the bland taste buds of people that live here. If you can take a bunch of nasty kempcump ass enchilada sauce out of a can and slap it on some bag tortillas with wet chicken inside, and people will pay $15 a plate for it, why bother actually making good food?
It's a pretty sad situation, if I want to take a break and actually dineout, I'm eating overpriced mediocre food. The best food we eat on a regular basis comes out of my kitchen but it's a lot of work when sometimes you just want to chill on a Saturday night.

Funny you mention an egg on a burger, just finished off a patty melt with pepper jack cheese, on sourdough, with fried onions and an over hard egg on it, SOOOOO good, I'm not a big cook, I hate the clean up, but that was worth it. I'm super lucky to have a scratch cook diner in my city, if they were open 24 hrs I would prob never buy groceries again!
Yeah dude, runny yolk on a burger holy shit, that's heaven on a bun.
There was a place in Austin called hopdoddy that does one with alfalfa sprouts and this amazing sprouted grain bun. Holy shit, face melter, don't forget to breathe, you go into a trance like state. Sofuckingood.

^^This right here. My town is population 2,300. There’s not a “good” restaurant here. There’s a decent pizza joint that makes everything from scratch. There’s another pizza joint/brewery that sucks. A Mexican place. A greasy burger joint. That’s it. The closest City to me, Walla Walla, is 32,000 folks. It’s 45 minutes away. We actually ate there last night, because we had some shopping to do. We went to a wing restaurant; I love me some hot wings! I ordered the 9 piece bone-in wings with 3 sauces for $20. No sides included. I got one sauce in the medium category, one in the hot, and one in the super hot. My wife ordered the prime rib French dip with fries. $17 +$1 for sautéed mushrooms on it. The food runner brought our food exactly 3 minutes after we ordered it. I thought it was way too fast. She asked who had the chicken tenders, which we replied “Neither”. Oops! She says, and says she’ll fix it but leaves the French dip & fries for us. The fries were cold. How can we get our food in 3 minutes with it half wrong and cold fries? We sent the sandwich & fries back and requested hot food. Waiter seemed perturbed, but brought our proper meals hot and fresh 15 minutes later. The wings hat no “heat” at all- everything was mild. I like shit HOT! Jalapeños are mild. The French dip was delicious, but had no mushrooms. So, all said and done we spent over $75 for two beers and two meals, and it was mediocre at best. There’s a handful of decent places in Walla, and a couple really good, really expensive ones. I don’t do fancy-schmancy dining. I like real food done right. That’s hard to find. Everything is bland and toned down for tepid palates. Food should be exciting! Flavors should be developed and robust. This takes time. Time is expensive. I like slow food. I was trained in high end restaurants in West Palm Beach, FL. They’re not shy of flavor in Florida. So many food cultures competing for diner’s dollars.
Don't normally take pics of my food but since I was in the process of cooking this while I posted (at 7pm after working outside in 5deg weather all afternoon) ...
Quick beans and rice dish, everyone in the family likes it, I think all in it cost about $10 for a big pot and the most expensive part is the cherry tomatoes. Would love to pay someone 4x as much to cook it for me after a long day but I'm on my own.
^ That looks awesome! A lot of midwest food is quite bland... I remember yrs ago seeing a billboard for a new restaurant that read: Atten MN Catsup is not a spice! We are fortunate though to have some very good places in Mpls, it's not really as safe to go down there as it once was, but there are some winners, I like spicy stuff too, you have to look but it can be found here. In all honesty I'm down for simple scratch cooked diner food, and I have it, for that place alone, 3rd generation same family owned, I would be really hard pressed to move from this city, it's that good. There is also a White Castle here, in the winter when the leaves are off the trees I can see it from my place, not healthy in anyway shape or form, but a sack of Jalapeno cheeseburgers with Bacon is an amazing treat when not in the mood to make myself anything.

The fries are actually the worst part. I watched a lecture once where the man said the potatoes are treated in chemicals so harsh they must be left for days before the farmers return to load them for shipment. It’s likely why a McDonald’s fry is never touched by bugs or anything ever.
^ I've seen seagulls eat them? Wendy's new fries I think may have them beat, and White Castle fries rock if they are fresh.

All fish are secretly square...lol, except the "stick" ones, they are a little longer, love both...I know, hyper processed, yada yada, but deep fried is delicious, if not good for you. :) Give me a good Salmon steak any day, but I secretly love fish sticks too... Also love some popcorn shrimp, white castle sells those once a year... I'm weak. ;)
I think most fries nowadays are processed material that is molded in mass production. You can see the angled ends with the brownish color to represent the skin. The worse ones are the ones with flour coating to make them crunchy.
Gonna get onenof those fish burgers this week. I will take pics of the real product and report back. I bet it is yum
