I worked at McDonald's when I was a kid. At that time Filet-O-Fish
sandwiches were made with New England cod. A few years later they started
using carp. (Which are a game fish in Europe, and are good meat when raised
in clean water). At the McDonald's I worked for (in Great Falls, Montana)
they used locally prepared beef, even though the frozen McDonald's patties
were already available (we stocked some in the freezer in case we ran out of
the "real" beef — that only happened once when I was working there).

I didn't didn't know that. Either I was misinformed or that has changed
again. I do know that it was New England cod when I worked at McDonald's in
the early 70s. I don't even know what a Pollock fish is. I'll have to look
that up. (I think I've heard the name before, but that's all.)

I had to look it up. Originally they did use Atlantic cod, but the supply
got scarce, so they moved to New Zealand hoki — and then, some years later,
New Zealand started limiting the number of hoki that could be taken. So
that's when Alaskan pollock became the main choice. Apparently some
McDonalds (in other countries) still use hoki, either New Zealand hoki or
Atlantic hoki.

Apparently the carp thing was made up by someone. (There is also claims that
carp is used at Burger King, who also use Alaskan pollock now for their fish
sandwiches.)

Everything you didn't want to know about McDonald's Filet-O-Fish.
