Not very good. One time I went in there for a return and they called the police. Just because I am carrying around my excrement in a Ziploc baggie, does NOT make me crazy.:confused:

Jack in the box for example normally doesn't offer fish and chips, except for this time of year.

Jack in the box, for example, normally doesn't offer... no, sorry, too easy.

3 Filet-O-Fish isn't really that much, they're so small! I remember when the Big Xtra was only $1.49 CDN ($1 US), I usually ordered 4-5 of them for a lunch. And I'm not huge or anything...quite the contrary - 5'5", 135 lbs. :)

Hehe...that's funny. Don't ever do that again, though. They might get a new idea for a new product....a Big Mac Pack.

Jack in the box, for example, does not exist nationwide. Nor does Carl's Jr. Nor does In and Out. Nor does those nifty azz carne asada stands.

how can you like anything that sits in a bin for 12+ hours before they serve it

last time I had one it was more like a little peice of fish jerky on a bun with wilted lettuce and not nearly enough tarter sauce to be edible.


Wilted lettuce? I don't know what McDonalds you go to, but the Filet o Fish don't come with no stinkin' lettuce!

Seems most of you are west-coasters who got in on this deal. Anyone from the NY area get the deal recently ? This is supposed to be Nation-wide right? Even if it's YMMV.

I'm in San Diego, don't know if anywhere else has this but cheeseburgers are 39 cents on Wednesday and Sunday, Filet o' Fish is $1 on Friday, Chicken Nugget 6pc is $1 everyday... there's something on special for cheap everyday, but on Wednesday I usually get 3 cheeseburgers and a "McValue Fries" ($1) with a water for a grand total of <$2.50 for lunch

Not the healthiest, but a Hot Deal IMHO

Not sure about NY, but like I said, Chicago is in on it.

Yummy!!! Look at all the Protein you get. You could eat 20 of these things and have 100% of your RDA of protein. GO FISH!!!

thats a typo. its 15% each. so quite a few less then 20 to get 100% rda :)


that being said, i could probably max out at two, u peeps have some huge ass stomachs.

anyways, they taste good:) unlike bk bigfishes.


NO actually your wrong and it's not a typo. 15g of protein is only 5% of your RDA soooooooooooooo kiddies who are new to math. That's 5% x 20 = 100%. Very GOOD CLASS. Really if your going to correct someone you should first learn how to read.

Also these are all averages. The amount of protein actually varies according to your weight so this is again an average and if there was a type here it's McDonald's not me.

i scrolled down on the website chart incorrectly yes, its 15g not 15%. either way, he seems to have fallen out of bed on the wrong side today. i'll give him the benifit of the doubt and assume he's not always an asshole.

frankly i don't care whats in the filet when i get it. i expect about the same from it in terms of nutrition as i do anything from mcdonalds.

If you like McChicken, you can make your own the way they do, just blend up some chicken feet, guts and heads. Then form in a patty, deep fry in racid oil and there you have it. Just don't use any real chicken meat! That's why they are only .99

like certain McD, jack in the box, carl's jr, makes me go watery stools :/

i think it depends on where they get their meat..

Actually, I know a couple of people who have the same types of McD's and BK problems as a result of some preservative or additive or something... my wife works at a hospital, a doctor confirmed for her at work that that's the cause.

Ask a Jew, too. Can't mix dairy with meat, but you can mix it with fish!
