An employee noted on Reddit that the fish sandwich is "fried at the bottom of jelly". But given the wayMcDonald's fries are done too, it's not exactly a reason not to order the sandwich. What could be a more convincing reason to choose a different option is that you can not get fresh because it is a less popular item.

"When I worked at McDonald, the fish fillet has never been ordered. We had to do them at 11 am from the beginning of lunch and had the same as in the plateau until the elderly came To get their dinner at 15 o'clock, then we will replace it and we launched far the same when we closed, "A self-identified McDonald employee wrote. "Do not order them."

Of course, you can avoid this situation by asking for yourFilet-O-Fish cooked to order.

Other McDonald employees also told the company initiates thatThey avoid Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, too much. But only because they do not like the taste.
