According to the McDonald's website, wild-caught Alaskan pollock is used for its Filet-O-Fish sandwich. This mild fish is palatable even for those who aren't big seafood lovers.
McDonald's likely chose it for its mild flavor and affordable price tag. According to its website, the fish is "100% sourced from sustainable fisheries."
The Filet-O-Fish's long-term success might be because of its simplicity. There isn't much to it: a bun, a fried pollock patty, some cheese, and a little tartar sauce.
