"The Filet-O-Fish started as a McDonald's Lent specialty over 60 years ago, beating out a fruit-centered competitor known as the Hula Burger. Not only did the Filet-O-Fish win over those observing Lent, but it quickly became a year-round customer favorite. Featuring a fried filet of Alaskan pollock, American cheese, and tartar sauce on a steamed bun, the Filet-O-Fish is the perfect combination of textures and flavors. However, a few modifications will give it a diner-style upgrade."
"Looking to double or triple the fish on your Filet-O-Fish? Ask for extra filets. Want a British pub-style fish sandwich? Layer McDonald's famous french fries in between the buns. The diner-style upgrade that will make a hearty and comforting meal out of your next Filet-O-Fish, however, is to transform it into a BLT hybrid. One of the most classic diner sandwiches, a BLT is as simple and delicious as McDonald's fish sandwich, making it easy to combine the two."
The Filet-O-Fish began as a McDonald's Lent specialty more than 60 years ago, beating a fruit-centered competitor called the Hula Burger and quickly becoming a year-round favorite. The sandwich features a fried Alaskan pollock filet, American cheese, tartar sauce, and a steamed bun, balancing textures and flavors. McDonald's offers many customizations: customers can request extra filets to double or triple the fish or add french fries between buns for a British pub-style touch. A diner-style BLT upgrade involves adding bacon, lettuce, and tomato, plus an extra slice of cheese to balance bacon's intensity, creating a richer, crunchier, and fresher sandwich. That bacon addition makes the sandwich unsuitable for meatless Lent observance.
