The McDonald's filet-O-Fish bun has been a steamed only (not toasted) since 1989, if not before that. I worked there for 5 years and that's what differentiated the filet buns from the hamburger buns. Same buns but one is toasted, one is steamed. Once they changed cooking the food fresh in the mid 90's, I am sure they even steam the buns anymore. Everything is cooked & held in warming cabinets so they can quickly make sandwiches & then they are reheated in the Q oven (aka microwave).

It's just OK ,the tartar sauce is WAY off, even McDonalds employees say its dill relish, not sweet ,,,, fish filet is probably as close as you can get.

This recipe is spot on! My husband absolutely LOVES this sandwich and he is extremely happy with this recipe. Personally we like hopping extra tartar sauce on. TIP: Ore Ida Golden shoestring fries taste just like McDonald’s fries. We use a small deep fryer and a liberal amount of salt.

While in Oklahoma serving my country, I would always visit McDonalds, for two of these. It wasn’t the bun, or fish that I liked, it was the tarter sauce. It’s still my favorite, as it is very easy, and tasty, I’ve had none like it. I had tried to replicate this over the years, but never quite mastered it! A friend suggested Vlasic dill pickle relish, and that nailed it for me. As much as I try, I still can’t taste sweet pickle relish as an ingredient, and wouldn’t use it anyway. Thank you so much, for bringing back memories!

I've been fortunate to have McDonald's fish filet sandwich overseas in Germany and their fish patty is bigger and cooked to order. I agree the bun should be steamed instead of toasted and the closest I've found is a Sarah Lee's potato buns and the closest cheese is Borden's sliced Sharp American cheese.

Except the real thing comes with steamed buns, not grilled. For that I have to knock you down on rating, since that was the selling point of a McD's Filet-O-Fish.

I only used 1tsp of relish with the 2tablespoons of Mayo. I added a teaspoon of course mustard. I liked it.

Try using Todd's recipe for Luby's tartar sauce. It puts this sandwich over the top.

Tartar sauce is nothing like McDonalds, way to sweet and no zing! Sorry

Just followed the recipe it makes a good lunch
