McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
@Robyn - FoF-Yay or Nay? That's just fish bait!
Look at all the comments!
I love me the FoF Sammich. And it's been a 1/2 slice of cheese for years. I always ask for extra cheese. Commenters have written they're afraid of the beef, let alone a "square fish"... has anyone actually *seen* a grill/griddle at McD's lately? Everything is cooked in those weird yellow plastic drawers now. What the heck are they? At least the FoF is still deep fried. Or IS it?

Harris Teeter is a Wegman's "wannabe"... and I wish it was a "is-a-be". But here in Southern Delaware, it's the best thing since ... well, sliced ... you know.
And my wife works at Harris Teeter! We did visit the Wegmans in Hunt Valley MD on one of our "let's be a tourist" days. Wow. But for now, we're very happy Harris Teeter is in the area.
When will these "regional" stores realize they have fans everywhere. Blow a few $Mil on developing/opening a store and see what happens! (Are you listening Trader Joe's and In-and-Out Burger??!! Ooops.. wrong thread!
Go forth and shop and eat and consume! .Brian.

Marylander alert here! It's gotta be pan fried.
Broiled crab cakes are blase and so 80's.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski's recipe is "de rigueur" for local crab cakes.

@Cassaendra: Old Bay rules!
Eat on, people.

I love how he says on the Shamwow commercial, "Call in the next 20 mins. , 'cuz c'mon folks, we can't do this all day".
Ha! Much more entertaining than Billy Mays. "Just pay extra shipping and handling." (I'd type in all caps but that would be YELLING!)

@Cathy - here's an interesting review of the Old and New Kingsford:
Old Kingsford vs. New Kingsford
Personally, I've been using Royal Oak Briquettes - also sold at Ace Hardware as their house brand "Ace Briquettes".
@Joshua - Looking forward to seeing more of your posts! Skirt steak, yum. We like it with Chimmichurri sauce.

I've used it already, and didn't even know it was new! Worked great for me.
Thanks!

My wife! She's opened my eyes to so many foods that are new to me, and I've done the same for her. We inspire each other.

My smokey chipotle salsa rocks.
@cheffy - I agree with your suggestions for reader recipes links... how 'bout sharing that awesome lime-dill tartar sauce recipe with us? :)

I haven't had one in decades but just to keep this sandwich going, I will go there and have them.

I love them!!!!!!!!!!!
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
cheap and delicious - it's a classic. during the mad-cow scare, this was the only sandwich my gf allowed me to eat from the mcd's and i learned to love it. and believe me people, you should worry more about where they get their dairy and poultry than worry about the fish. lastly, i love the tartar sauce overload, once i take it out of the box, i smear half of it on my box and use it as dipping sauce for my golden delicious potato stix. =)

If the commercial is on, I'll watch it. He throws the sell out there with his own unique style. He's not a monotone robot. There's "Vince" in his presentation. Plain and simple ........... I like him. Vince is cool.

Holy Crap! And people ask why I fast forward through so many commercials! Thank Vince "The Wonder Douche" for making my point for me!!!
Highlights? Hmmm...the "boring tuna". Poor tuna! Does he not know that it's the chicken of the sea?! I mean come I
Next, for those of you who not only like hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, but consider it more convenient to eat it along with other ingredients from a ziploc bag...this is your lucky day!
And can someone please tell me what FRET-tuccine is?
But, far and away the best one was, "you're gonna love my nuts"...uh, nope don't think so, Vince! The only useful thing I could think of doing with this product was setting up Vince, his nuts, the Slap Chop and Lorena Bobbit. Now that would be something I'd spend $25 bucks on!

@Martini--I have one from Pampered Chef and it's awesome. I use a bottle brush to clean between the blades and never have any trouble with the blades getting hung up while it's chopping.
I can't stand Vince. I think Billy Mays is the Sith Lord and Vince is his apprentice. I did like how he threw the "bad" chopper over his shoulder. Would've been better if he'd also said, "Bork bork bork"!
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
BTW after watching the show I went to a wholesale distributor that I have bought raw breaded cod "squares" from in the past... I paid $40.00 for
24 - 4oz portions... if my math serves me right, that is $1.60 per portion!!!
I think I'll just buy mine @ McD's
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
Actually I was watching a show the other day that highlighted McDonald's own fishing vessels in which the COD are prepared and flash frozen right on the ship... employing many workers who work 12 hour shifts until the cargo is full and then back to port to offload... already prepared and packaged Filet 'O Fish.

@edoc918: Late posters always welcome! I liked Publix when my parents lived in FL and I visited. Reminded me a bit of Wegmans.
Does Your Grocery Store Have You Crying Tears of Joy?
I guess I"m a late poster - but when we lived in MN, Kowalski's is the absolute bomb. Unbelievable selection, best produce, meat & cheese, great service, their deli was awesome - and they were open 24 hours.
I'm back in FL now, so Publix is #1, with Sweetbay running a close second. The butcher at Publix deboned our duck, chicken and goose for Thanksgiving for FREE.

I heart Shop-rite - from Jersey, Shop-rite every Saturday from earliest memory. Good times : ) When the one nearby shut down, my dad elected to drive to the nearest one, which is about 5 miles further, instead of go to other supermarkets.
At school in upstate NY - Wegmans rocks - can't get McVittles anywhere else, or kumquats...
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
I've always liked this sandwich...and that goes back about 40 years...today I order it slightly healthier w/o the cheese, request light sauce and ask them to add lettuce, tomato and pickle. It is a little confusing for most of the cashiers at first, but most of the time I receive what I requested...just wish the bun was whole grain or a bit healthier in other ways. I generally only eat at McD's when taking a car trip but it is something consistent to count on.
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
once in a while I get a nostalgic craving for one, but then I think about the highly processed bits of white fish deep fried in heavy batter and slathered with cholesterol laden mayonnaise on a slightly stale bun, not to mention the processed cheese, and I remember why I don't eat filet o' fish anymore. But the pull of childhood is strong.... thinking Velveeta ...
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
I grew up with this. I kept the kind of kosher where this was the only thing at McD's that we were allowed to eat. I have never had a Happy Meal. When I was very young, I used to call these Cheeseburgers because of that yummy slice of plasticky American Cheese. The more tartar sauce the better. I used to dip my fries in the sauce that oozed out. I haven't had one in years. Tempting...
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
I LOVE THEM ! Second to the Big-Mac.My first job was at the McDonalds 4 blocks from my house (I could ride my bike to work safely at any hour) in the summer of 1967 and again in the summer of 1968, my highschool summer job. The filet-a fish sandwich for only $.25 was great back then when all food was cooked on site and all ingredents were very wholesome, NOT the McDonalds of today as everything comes flash frozen pre-cooked in a microwave-bag, simply put horrible. The original used a fresh-baked slightly-sweet (naturally) bun with a tartar sauce that actually was very good (recipe developed by a real chef not a marketing group) the fish patty was, as pointed out earlier, of predomaintly Haddock or True Cod (now almost extinct thanks to the cod war waged by Canada attempting to preserve the fishery vs the European countries about fishing rights on the Grand Banks) and yes a full slice of real American cheese that had flavor and it was delicious.
I was working at McDonalds when the Big-Mac was introduced and it was also delicious and only about .45 or .50 cents some rediculious price along with .15 cent burgers, .17 cent cheeseburgers, .12 cent fries and so on. Everything was so much better when it was all cooked on site, we even washed, peeled, cut and blanched the fries from whole potatos numerous times a day. I still get a Filet-a-fish and a Big-mac on occassion when I cant control myself while passing a McDonalds.
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
When they're good they are very very good.
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
Many years ago when they first came out they were made of Haddock and they were very good. God only knows what's in them now. Forget the cheese. Many years ago the filet-o-fish sammy came with cole slaw and tartar sauce which was really very good. I haven't had one in decades...

@meg3j I really want to try these mcrib sandwich, when I get to a McDonalds.
As for a fillet o fish I have not had one in many many years, not since I was a little kid but i loved them and I bet I would love them now except that now I don't really eat much types of fish cause I have allergies to them. Otherwise I would love to have one again and yes with the cheese.
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
When I was a kid, this was all I would eat from McDonalds. That and small fries, which I never could completely understand as they were exactly the same length as the "large" fries!!
I grew up OK, so it can't be that bad.
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
This is lochness, one of lochaven’s other personalities and I’m here to say that my high school years were spent eating filet-o-fish sandwiches….and still have one occasionally. Back then they used to be 65 cents, but not any more. Whenever I order one I always ask them to make me a fresh one and willing to wait for it. They always comply.
Now, I know that lochaven would never go public that he’s had them before, but I think he also likes them…. .
Btw, I saw this a few months ago….I always wondered how to pronounce it… now I know.

While Wegman's is a great grocery store, I find my local Super Fresh to be No 1 for customer service, bar none.
When they were recently out of whole fryers at 69 cents, (can't beat that), the meat cutter went back to the deli counter and pull out a fryer from the refrigerator and wrapped and priced it for me. That was the best tasting fryer I have ever eaten.
It's the little things like store prepared gourmet apple pies, fresh from The Farm produce, (their potatoes are the best tasting ever), seafood, and my all time favorite tasting beef, Premium Gold Angus.
For a supermarket that has been business now for 150 years, its all about the quality, value and customer service.

This may be a dumb question, but where would I get "lump crabmeat"?

I'm surprised that no one from the San Franscisco area has mentioned Andronico's. When visiting our daughter in Walnut Creek, we we visited one and thought it a wonderland of food of every kind.
