Why The FILET-O-FISH is always better HOMEMADE

The Iconic McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish. A breaded and fried filet of cod or nowadays, pollack, American cheese, tartar sauce and must be served on a soft steamed bun. Some say it’s their best sandwich but it’s actually one of the only things I have never and will never eat from a Mcdonald’s. I don’t eat fast food fresh sandwiches. I buy great fish from my local fish monger and I make them to perfection at home…here’s how.

I made this last night for dinner for my family. Made one in the air fryer to see if it would work and it did! The others were fried in oil, man it was sooo good. Thank you!

I hate that BetterHelp is starting to make reappearances in these sponsor segments.

I'm one of the 11 people in North America who keep the Filet 'O Fish on the menu. Zero apologies.

Steve, Great news. I made this recipe. I used fresh Black Drum filets. It turned out perfectly. I didn’t have panko breadcrumbs but seasoned some breadcrumbs I did have which elevated the flavor. The rice flour seemed to add to the crunchiness. I had to go out and get a couple of items for this recipe, but it was worth it. I kept a couple of filets in the freezer to try later. Will let you know how it turns out. Excellent cookbook. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽👏👏👏

Hey Steve, just checking in to let you know I had this sandwich as you suggested. I froze the filets, took them out about a week later, and they were delicious, crunchy, flavorful. Thanks again.🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽😃

This is my 6th time making this, and I can't get enough. I always come back to watch the vid to give me the necessary confidence and instruction to pull off the best fish o lay. When the hankering calls, this recipe definitely hits the spot! Thank you!!

04:58 I've read that before. All he did was show how much that McDonald's doesn't care about the health code. Comparing it to Burger King, food always has a timer on it. If that timer goes off then it has to be thrown away. So if they made a fish and it went past the timer and they never threw it out then they could get marked down by the health inspection. Not only that, but if a customer got sick from said fish they could get into a lot of trouble legally.

[choesta]

I worked at McDonald's for 2 years in my teens. There's nothing wrong with the Filet O Fish. I love them.

No insult intended whatsoever, but the look of your filet-o-fish conjures up very fond memories of what McD's fish sandwich once was-- say 56 years ago. (Wow! I'm gettin' old.) It was the REEL deal. I can almost smell & taste it now. Yours looks divine too. Thanks a whole lot.

[stevelitteral]

This is a great recipe. Much better than take out. Thanx. Side note: McDonald's first fish sandwich was Halibut, cheese & tarter sauce on bun.

[PoeLemic]

Thanks for sharing this with us. We want to try and learn to cook almost everything at home. And, yes, these are one of our favorite fast food sandwiches.

I used to eat the McDonald's Filet-o-Fish a lot when I was a kid. It's no Quarter Pounder, but I liked it. I rarely eat any fried stuff these days and I haven't had a Fillet-o Fish in years. I occasionally will make a fillet-o-fish style of sandwich with grilled or pan seared fish. Oddly enough, I just made one this morning with salmon.
