On. Feb. 16, 700 McDonald's locations in the region will unveil a new, limited-time-only menu item: a Filet-O-Fish with the beloved Maryland seafood seasoning. According to a McDonalds press release, local owner/operator Mark Furr came up with the idea, so we can all blame him if this ruins Old Bay forever.
It might not. The Filet-O-Fish isn't the chain's most popular menu item, but the fried fish sandwich with cheese and tartar sauce has a bit of a cult following. In 2010, former Saveur editor James Oseland admitted he was a fan: "I’m sorry, I know it is the height of foodie irresponsibility even to admit to setting foot inside the Evil Death Star that is McDonald’s, but the mega-chain’s Filet-O-Fish sandwiches are perfection on a bun . . . From the crisp wedge of battered, fried fish to the dainty dab of tartar sauce, they are a miracle of food science." The sandwich also gets some rock-n-roll cred for being banned in Russia.
