Culver's North Atlantic Cod sandwich outperforms the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish in a head-to-head fast food review.
Culver's North Atlantic Cod sandwich is a superior meal compared to the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish, according to a recent review by Mashed. While the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish has been a staple since 1965, it is often viewed as a snack rather than a full meal. The sandwich features a wild-caught Alaskan Pollock patty with American cheese and tartar sauce on a steamed bun. In contrast, the Culver's offering features hand-battered cod on a toasted hoagie roll with shredded cheddar and lettuce. Reviewers noted that the Culver's sandwich provides a better texture and more authentic feel, with a light, crispy breading that surpasses the softer McDonald's patty. Although the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish excels in its standout tartar sauce, the Culver's sandwich offers better value as a full meal. The Culver's North Atlantic Cod sandwich costs $8.09, while the Filet-O-Fish is priced at $6.49. For a slightly higher price point, the Culver's option provides a larger, more satisfying sandwich with superior toppings.
