What's the Fish?
Made with 100% wild-caught Alaskan pollock, ensuring real, sustainable fish in every bite.
Why a Square Patty?
Square fillets are cut from layered blocks of fish, ensuring quality and zero waste.
Steamed Bun Magic
It's the only McDonald's sandwich served on a soft, steamed bun for a unique texture.
Half a Slice of Cheese?
Yes, it’s intentional! A full slice would overpower the delicate fish flavor.
