Is the Filet O Fish real fish?
by
We use wild-caught Alaska Pollock for our Filet-O-Fish® sandwich in the U.S., which is 100% sourced from sustainable fisheries. Why is sustainable fish so important to us?
The Good News. Takhistov and O’Donnell-Giles agree that, at around 18 grams per serving, the Filet-O-Fish is a very good source of protein. Most of that protein comes from the fish — Atlantic pollock, which O’Donnell-Giles says does have some heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Why do people not like Filet-O-Fish?
Sadly, people hate on the humble Filet-O-Fish for a multitude of undue reasons. The buns are sweet and not too bready in taste. Even Filet-O-Fish haters will concede this, as the same buns are used in most other Macca’s burgers. I’d never eat fried fish in bread, but Macca’s buns are an exception.

“Something about the Filet-O-Fish creeps me out. In my opinion, McDonald’s meats are beef and chicken—Big Macs and McNuggets. Fish just doesn’t fit into the equation. The sandwich is basically a deep-fried flat and wide fish stick, and some tartar sauce on a bun.

Interesting Facts. Because the Pollock is a bottom feeder, its flesh doesn’t look as impressive as the Atlantic Pollack. Its dark-colored flesh gives it a bad reputation that it doesn’t feed and therefore, poor quality. In reality, some commercial areas use Pollock as a substitution for Salmon, especially in cat food.
