OK OOT, it's been a while since we had a devoted fast food thread around here and I think it's time we had a new one.

Best fish I've ever had was mesquite grilled mahi-mahi at a San Diego fish market restaurant. Real easy to overcook at high temp but this was perfect. Used to drive down to Mexico and buy seafood fresh off the dock, mostly for the jumbo blue shrimp, the red snapper was ok but don't go out of my way for fish. Too fragile and touchy to prepare, pork chops or steak for the win! The giant shrimp cocktails from Costco aren't bad for an appetizer.

Stuff that lives in the same water it craps in can't be that good.

An example of something that sort of sounds logical, but isn’t in any way. Factory farmed animals wallow in **** their entire lives.


Mahi Mahi has also been some of the BEST cooked fish I have ever eaten... those Dolphines are delicious!

Still, my top 'Fish' has always been Maguro Tuna Sashimi... must be fresh. It's like eating candy... but much better.

Love most seafood (like, from an ocean), can't stand the idea of eating fresh-water fish, though. Probably will require years of therapy to figure that one out.

Would crush the crawfish platter at Pappadeaux, though. Pretty sure they're fresh-water bugs.


The 30-day expiration date on the MCD survey is fake news; I redeemed one from over 30 days ago and it worked fine.

The Chinese lady who took my order snatched my coupon like it was her money I was messing with. Luckily I have plenty of ree-seets.

I need to make a costco trip today. Pretty sure that means its gonna be a double mcrib day. I don't think I'll be attempted to stuff both in my pie hole, I'll save the second for later. I'm sure it reheats perfectly in the microwave, I can just sense it.

Good luck food fans


Might be old news, but I just got the spam...

Wingstop $7.99 sandwich combo seems like a good deal? Chix sammich with choice of sauce, fries, dippin sauce and a drink. LTO, online or via the app. Might be dinner for me.




Nooooooooooooo....

My McDonald's got rid of the self-serve fountain drink machine. Sad sad sad.

This is true, tartar sauce makes plain fish good. With fried whitefish it's all about the frying technique and the tartar sauce.

Columbia River Salmon my old friends actually caught from a boat was the most amazing fish ever. Fatty and delicious, it.rather spoiled me.

Like catfish. I tried a piece with basic seasoning. When compared to a pork chop seasoned the same way, there's no comparison.

I had some really well done fried fish sampler platter in Oregon over the summer, but after a couple of bi

i totally agree with most of this, although a little bit unsure which you preferred on the topic of catfish or pork chop
batter fried halibut with malt vinegar is much different from something like a corn breaded catfish with hushpuppy
if you ever happen to make it back out to the oregon coast, shoot me a note and let me know. i have a list of good fish eats from astoria to brookings and everywhere inbetween

as for salmon

sure seem to me swimming in deep or rapidly flowing water is the same thing as living inside a port-a-potty

Do you de-bun before nuking?

If it's not to much trouble, yes.
Then re-bun, and nuke for a few more seconds.

That is a sad day.
Can you go up to the counter and ask/get a free refill?

One refill. And they give you a new cup. They can't use the old cup because they use a drink robot.

The Taco Bell across from it still has $1 happy hour drinks. 😀


Worked in a restaurant with a live lobster tank. Saddest, most pathetic creatures ever. I considered it a mercy to kill them. Most guys hated to go pull them from the tank, but I didn't mind. Giant sea cockroaches.

Quit that place not long after the tank malfunctioned, and the next day the head chef wanted me to do something with half a dozen day old dead lobster. Flat refused. So gross.

About the only fish I would eat these days is wild caught salmon. The farmed stuff is trash. A day caught mahi, or god forbid, swordfish is nice too


$.99 Jr Chezburger from Sonic, today only, thru the app.

For the first time in years the $2 breakfast sammich offer wasn't in my McDonald's app this morning. That's been my most used fast food offer by far. Not cool.

Edit: Ok maybe not by far. Free medium fries with $2 purchase probably a close second

They did that to me when they rolled out the bagels ~6 months ago.

$2 deal came back like 3 weeks later.


I basically only eat McD's breakfast nowadays. Considered it a blessing when the $2 deal was randomly gone one morning.

As soon as I saw it reappeared ...

I’m overdue for some Ricks brekkie.

I wish they’d bring back all day brekkie.

BAGELS?? They got bagels? Or just the sandwich ON a bagel?

afaik you can get a bagel with butter


I wouldn't trust mcds to toast a bagel properly.


LOL^

No bagels at my local Rick's in metro Phoenix. Which I'm okay with, actually. If I want a bagel, I'll hit Chompie's (best bagels in the 602)
