The History of the Filet-O-Fish
Origins and story behind this iconic item
1962
Lou Groen, a McDonald's franchisee in a Catholic Cincinnati neighbourhood, creates the Filet-O-Fish to serve customers who abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent.
1963
Ray Kroc holds a contest: his own Hula Burger (grilled pineapple and cheese) vs the Filet-O-Fish. The Filet-O-Fish wins decisively on its first Friday.
1965
The Filet-O-Fish goes nationwide โ€” the first non-hamburger item on the McDonald's menu.
1996
McDonald's briefly removes the Filet-O-Fish, replacing it with the Fish Filet Deluxe. Overwhelming customer backlash forces its return in 1997.
Today
Sales spike 25-30% during Lent (February-April) as Catholic customers seek meat-free Friday options. It's McDonald's only seafood item.

Filet-O-Fish โ€” Did You Know?
Interesting facts about the Filet-O-Fish
๐ŸŸ
The Filet-O-Fish uses wild-caught Alaskan Pollock certified by the Marine Stewardship Council โ€” McDonald's most sustainably sourced protein.
๐Ÿง€
The half-slice of cheese is an original 1962 design choice that has never changed โ€” a full slice was deemed too overpowering for the delicate fish.
๐Ÿ“…
During Lent, McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sales increase by 25-30%. The chain often runs 2-for deals during the season to meet demand.
๐Ÿ
Ray Kroc's competing 'Hula Burger' โ€” grilled pineapple with cheese on a bun โ€” lost decisively to the Filet-O-Fish on its very first test Friday.
