Did you know that Espersen is delivering fish to the Filet-O-Fish at McDonald's?

Actually, we have done so for more than 40 years. Today we deliver the fish for all McDonald's restaurants in 42 countries - mainly on the European continent.
In December 2016 McDonald's Germany visited our factory in Hasle on Bornholm, where we produce the fish for the Filet-O-Fish. Here they made a video about the production and the high quality of the fish. And not least they meet Stig Nielsen, who is Production Manager and a passionate Espersen employee.

What sets the Filet-O-Fish apart is the quality of the fillet. A few years ago I watched a documentary about how McDonald's actually goes out to sea to catch the pollock fish that it uses. The above is the short version. Ounce for ounce, the Filet-O-Fish is often the most expensive sandwich McD's has on the menu, unless there's a sale, and that's because of the quality... One nit to pick would be that the cheese is sometimes not melted, like it should be.

That’s because it’s not real cheese. It’s oil pressed in to a cheese like substance. Look it up. That’s why the cheese never really melts.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige. One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!". Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs. I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

The cheese always melts on my hamburger. It’s made of American cheese which is 60% cheddar cheese and 40% water, salt, whey, butter, milk ..

[@saleenfanning23]

Totally agree, I saw the documentary on Mighty Ships as well. My only gripe with the sandwich is that the cheese is half the size of the dang sandwhich. Lol! The filet-O-Fish sandwhich is the ONLY thing I'll eat from McDonald's bc of the show and seeing it's freshly caught, cleaned, made and frozen on the ship.

Then in the freezer Magically the fish converts itself into fish block??!!! 🤨

[@neo217041]

@@andygaudet actually it cannot be grounded. If you know about fish flakes you cannot grind up fish and get the flaky consistency you get when you cut into it. Instead if you grind up the fish you will get mush consistency kind of like mushy grounded chicken.

[@davidgraham9053]

@xeke ‘ Actually he said 'graded' not 'grated'. I'm guessing the filets are roughly cut into largish pieces, placed in the containers and then frozen into the large blocks which are then sawed into the individual squares. That way you still get the flake inside the fish patty.

[@scotteotty1237]

@@KA-vs7nl thankyou. The fish very often has a non natural stringy flake depending where it's from and who knows where it comes from. Trust me I'm a fisherman it's not possible to cut fillets I to perfect squares like that without keeping the split fillet quarters together. Being it's McDonald's they most likely add 10 different binding and flavour enhancing chemicals in the process.

[@carramrod8232]

They process the fish on the ship at sea.

[@connorwatts-smith2828]

I work on a fishing boat. So I can explain. Basically any fish that isn't a neat fillet or is too mushy it gets pack into a block and frozen into a solid block.

What a joke, in Southern Europe, its cheaper to eat proper fish

[@jordanhenderson4992]

Yes you can, however if you live inland a couple of thousand "miles" from the ocean this sandwich is no joke and much better than a gut bomb! Hello Norway!
