Why McDonald's Filet-O-Fish Has A Half Slice Of Cheese
BY Kerry Hayes
Although it may seem like an odd addition, McDonald's Filet-o-Fish comes with a half slice of cheese for a valid reason. A McDonald's representative revealed why in 2012.
They said, "We only use half a slice of cheese because that's exactly the perfect balance for the tangy tartar sauce and crispness of the Filet-o-Fish coating."
The representative continued to say that "anything more than that would throw off the mojo of the sandwich and overshadow the delicate flavour of the pollock."
The argument is that a full slice of cheese would overpower the other flavors, but McDonald's has stated that if a customer wants a whole slice, they just need to ask.
