This filet-O-Fish recipe is so easy and simple to follow! Filet-o-fish has been one of my favourites at McDonald’s! This fish sandwich made of pollock, cheese, and tartar sauce is absolutely delicious!
I remember I would struggle to order pancakes or filet-o-fish when I was a kid and would always want both. Luckily now I know how to make pancakes and filet-o-fish at home! (But the struggle is still here!)
I decided to make this fish fillet sandwich because I have all the ingredients left from the shrimp burger from last week plus I haven’t made one for a long time! So here is my Valentine’s day breakfast. LOL
This is not the healthiest but trust me, this is very delicious. Treat yourself once in a while. 🙂
And if you have kids, I assure you they will LOVE IT! I mean, who doesn’t like a good filet-o-fish recipe?

Pro tips for making this filet-O-Fish Recipe:
- Use good quality buns, you can only get these luxurious buns at home or this may cost you a fortune! LOL
- Use Good quality fish filets! Again, you can only get this at home. I prefer Cod or Pollock. The texture of good quality fish is just better!
- Toast the buns with butter on a frying pan.
- Put Cheese immediately after the bun is toasted, and top with hot fish filet right after, the cheese is so delicious when it’s slightly melted.
- Homemade tartar sauce is the best! and the ingredients are kitchen essentials! Make your own tartar sauce which enhances the sandwich tremendously!
- Add or leave ingredients of your liking. This is why I love homemade food!
