About McDONALD'S, FILET-O-FISH

A fish burger, also called a fish sandwich, is a sandwich built around a breaded or battered fish fillet, fried until crisp and golden and tucked into a soft bun. Mild white fish like cod, pollock, or haddock is the usual choice, and the sandwich is classically dressed with tartar sauce or remoulade, a slice of cheese, lettuce, and pickles. Its rise as a fast-food staple is tied to the tradition of eating fish instead of meat on Fridays and during Lent; the famous Filet-O-Fish was created for exactly that reason.

It delivers protein and some omega-3 fats from the fish, though the breading and frying add carbohydrates, fat, and calories, so the cooking method shapes how light or rich it ends up. A Friday favorite in homes, pubs, and drive-thrus alike, the fish burger can be made lighter by grilling or baking the fillet instead of deep-frying, and a squeeze of fresh lemon brightens every bite. Serve it hot and crisp, while the coating is still crunchy and the fish is flaky and tender inside.
