Quote from SpAcEmAn SpLiFF : i like them in my mouth

what are you, a gay fish??

(glad someone got it)

thanks OP. I just got to try them a couple of days ago, and they were very good. I appreciate the news!!

Quote from rollingtundra : Just get some butter and deep fry it with some spices. Same results.

Butter costs more

Ewwwww

They were really nasty imo, I prefer the spicy chicken bites.

The best part about this deal? Unlimited trip to the bathroom for the 60 minutes following consumption. JACKPOT!

is a Coupon needed? Or they just ring up as 1$..

you guys are sick, having mcdonalds fish ew.

Quote from TJM : Yes, exactly. Just like the salmon filets at Walmart. The package will say something like "Atlantic Salmon" so you assume its wild caught in the Atlantic Ocean, when it's wild caught in China. "Atlantic" is just in the name of the company. Did everyone forget already about the radiation leak at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan not too long ago? There is still high radiation in fish within that area [usatoday.com] because the reactors are still leaking into the ocean. Sometimes the package would just use the work "Alaskan" to make you think it it's from Alaska, but it's actually farm raised in Chile. Having said that, I like McDonalds fish sandwiches so I would probably like these fish bites.

You should research the subject before you give a dumb opinion....

The fish bites are made of pollock, a fish that is located in Alaska. They are caught in the open ocean(bering sea) with a method that produces a ton of by-catch. By-catch is the equivalent of using a grenade in the woods to kill a deer. Sure, you kill the deer, but you also killed 5 squirrels and a few birds.

So anyways, in Alaska a lot of fishermen (commercial and subsistence) are unhappy that the fish is labeled as safe to harvest when they're supposedly doing damage to the King Salmon population.

Also, his whole message on the japanese nuclear accident is BS. Absolutely nothing wrong with Alaskan fish, they are monitored up here and anyone who has hazmat experience knows "the solution to pollution is dilution" - simply referring to the fact there's too much ocean to get concentrated levels of radiation to Alaska. But yes, off the exact coast of Japan I think I've read articles saying there are higher levels of radiation. I wouldn't worry.


tl:dr Fish are Alaskan, the process in which they are caught may have an effect on king salmon fisheries, which isn't good for environment. There is absolutely no risk of radiation poisoning, Alaska and Bering Sea are pretty damn far away from Japan (about 2k miles) Eating McDonalds still isn't healthy even if it's Alaskan fish

Agreed. Explosive diarrhea for only a dollar is quite a deal!!!

Quote from Zarich : Thumbs up if you work in the medical industry as this will keep you employed!

Very well done

"Did everyone forget already about the radiation leak at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan not too long ago? "

shhhhhhhh ... The Cesium-137 will diminish in 150 years or so (after 5 half lives) ... just give it time.

It's not the fish itself that makes these horrendous for you health wise. It's the other 22 ingredients:

"Fish McBites (http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/ge...list.pdf):
Pollock, Wheat Flour, Water, Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Modified Food Starch, Contains 2% or Less of: Yellow Corn Flour,
Torula Yeast, Salt, Leavening (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Disodium Pyrophosphate), Dried Garlic, Dried Onion,
Spices, Wheat Gluten, Sugar, Spice Extractives, Methylcellulose, Paprika and Turmeric Extract (Color).
Prepared in Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil with TBHQ and Citric Acid Added to Preserve Freshness).
Dimethylpolysiloxane Added as an Antifoaming Agent.
Cooked in the same fryer vat as the Fish Filet Patty, which contains whey (milk) in the breading."

There are a lot of VERY suspect ingredients there, not the least of which are two additives in the oil:

"TBHQ and dimethylpolysiloxane. The former, a preservative, may be deemed safe to consume in small amounts by both the FDA and the European Food Safety Authority, but studies by the International Programme on Chemical Safety have shown higher doses to cause stomach tumors in lab animals. And dimethylpolysiloxane? You’re probably more familiar with that particular silicone thanks to its use in Silly Putty; it gives the toy its particular stretchy, pliable texture."

On top of that, the snack size has 250 calories, 120 from fat (13g fat), and 420mg sodium. From: http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/ge...nfacts.pdf
