I love them - the undisputed king of burgers surely?

No! They're bloody disgusting!

ReggaetonLente · 24/11/2017 00:47

I love them too OP.

Orangebird69 · 24/11/2017 00:48

Yep. Bloody love them.

SpeckleDust · 24/11/2017 00:49

They are the best.

I order mine with extra tartar sauce and scoop it out with the fries. Yum!

NamasteNiki · 24/11/2017 00:49

Christ. I hope you ask for them fresh.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 24/11/2017 01:06

NamasteNiki I work at McDonalds and we don't hold Filet o' Fish; they're all cooked to order because they aren't ordered enough to be held.

That article is based entirely on a comment in a reddit post, and it's also USA based, so it's completely irrelevant.

What's that old saying... don't believe everything you read?

Hmmalittlefishy · 24/11/2017 01:38

I don't like fish so it's no but if I ever had to ask for one I would have to say it like the man in 80s advert. 'a filet o fish for my wife'!

BeALert · 24/11/2017 01:46

Having worked in various McDonald's that article is bullshit.

BeALert · 24/11/2017 01:47

And yes I love them...

JourneyToThePlacentaOfTheEarth · 24/11/2017 01:59

I love them. Read somewhere that it's the only McDonald's burger with a steamed bun

BumWad · 24/11/2017 02:05

Article is bollocks

I always have to wait AGES for my fillet o fish

Battleax · 24/11/2017 02:11

Oh so it's safe to have them after all? Fabulous news. They're my favourite fast food.

Namechanged36 · 24/11/2017 02:15

Absolutely love them. Had one the other day. Yum.

pnutter · 24/11/2017 02:47

My favourite

Happydoingitjusttheonce · 24/11/2017 05:34

Love them. Could eat one now

BarbaraofSevillle · 24/11/2017 05:53

One for me too please. I don't really like burgers so the only thing I ever get at McDs is Filet o Fish, chicken nuggets, a sausage bagel for breakfast, or possibly a special that takes my fancy such as cheesy bites or different pie flavour.

They've always cooked them fresh in my experience and they've got quicker at it over the years. Going back a while, an order for a FoF used to illicit an eye roll and 'it'll be a couple of minutes, is that OK' from the server and the 'couple of minutes' would be close to 10, but it's fine now. I think I did once get one that had been kept warm (this was absolutely years ago) and it was all dried out and chewy.

No, just no.

McDonalds have no business serving Fish, they’re not a Fish and Chip shop.

Their fish stinks to high heaven too, I have to a certain picky DC a Fish Finger happy meal when we go there. The lingering smell in the car is enough to induce a headache.

Sorry for going on, but McDonalds and Fish, bleurgh!!

e1y1 · 24/11/2017 05:57

to buy a*

makeourfuture · 24/11/2017 06:00

Filet o fish,
Filet o fish,
My very favourite fast food dish!

Stressalot42 · 24/11/2017 06:04

^^ this made me proper laugh!! 😂

But I love them!

QuestionableMouse · 24/11/2017 06:05

That article is rubbish. They're cooked to order.

I do wonder why people believe this rubbish... You can stand and look into the kitchen in most McDonald's (and they're cleaner than some 4* restaurants!)

MinervaSaidThar · 24/11/2017 06:11

Love a filet o fish. Does anyone else call then 'fillay o fish'?

And yep, they always cook it fresh.

Apocalyptichorsewoman · 24/11/2017 06:38

Love em! 😊

PurpleDaisies · 24/11/2017 06:41

I think they’re too small so not filling enough. I’m always a bit disappointed with one.
