The McDonald's Filet-O-Fish Bun Swap You Should Make

McDonald's Filet-O-Fish keeps things simple with a standard bun, fried Alaskan pollock filet, cheese, and tartar sauce. To elevate it, try swapping the bun for an English muffin.
An English muffin is flatter and denser than a typical McDonald's bun, and the dried rye sourdough will give the dish a slightly tangier flavor than the bun does.
Former McDonald's chef Mike Haracz said on TikTok this swap is possible "as long as they're nice in the restaurant." For even more zest, swap the tartar sauce out with Mac sauce.
