McDonald’s Canada: Fish & Chips Review

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

McDonald’s Canada is back with their ‘Great Canadian Tastes’ Menu featuring Fish & Chips and Chocolate Nanaimo McFlurry inspired by Canadian flavours from coast to coast.

The Fish & Chips represents the East Coast. It is made with 2 pieces of 100% wild-caught MSC certified sustainable Atlantic Haddock coated with a golden, crunchy batter, and served with classic McDonald Fries and a tartar dipping sauce.

The Fish & Chips is $7.29 for the 2 pieces of Haddock, fries and a container of tartar sauce. Pretty expensive but it’s not often that they have fish items on the menu except filet-o-fish. The fries were crispy, tartar sauce was good as usual, but the haddock was a bit on the small size. Imagine a really big McNugget size. It’s fun to try it once but I would order something else next time.

It’s only available until June 17th, 2019, so catch it before it’s gone.

    Pathetic excuse and serving of a loved favorite food in Canada and around the world! Basically two HIGHLINER fishsticks….HIGHLINER make and sells better quality of frozen fish and chips in your grocers frozen section..I was flabbergasted when I open the little square box…I should have known when I saw the advertising with the piece of fish actually fit into the tartar sauce container which is barely bigger than the ketchup cups you use when eating in their restaurant…stick to your burgers Micky D…this was a bad waste of my money….

    ordered your so called Fish -Chips last week would like to know where you placed the Fish i sure could not find any this is the worst meal i have got at your so called restaurant this is the final visit to any Mcdonalds i would rather spend a little more $ to get a half decent meal mr w. wilms

  3. Not overly impressed. Fish was dry and looked like it had been sitting around a bit, because the coating was smooshed down. Might give it a second try, hopefully it will be better looking and tasting. Fish fillet is much better!

  4. Tried it as I am a fan of Haddock. These fish & chips were yucky. Beg to differ that it was even Haddock. The little bit that was there, tasted like pond fish. Tried to feed it to my dogs, they sniffed it and walked away.

  5. This was the worst fish and chips ever. Nothing like the picture. What a disappoint,ent. 2 small shrivelled up pieces of fish and a happy meal sized order of fries. Spend an extra couple of bucks and go to a real fish and chip shop.

  6. First impressions: all of the ads in the restaurant showed 3 pieces of fish in the meal. I got a little box with fries mashed into the bottom and 2 pieces of fish squashed on top to make the lid close. Fish batter looked and tasted like yesterday’s leftovers! The fries were very pale, not crisp and were so tightly packed they broke as you tried to take them out of the box.
    The “meal” cost me $7.19 plus the cost of a drink. I did get my third piece of fish, a la the picture ads, for an additional $3.19!
    The fish flavor was actually good, not just all right, but the quantity and price left me feeling short-changed. Nothing was posted anywhere to say the “meal” was 2 pieces of fish so, if you rely on their picture ads watch it . . . seems to be false advertising to me. Will I return? No. My next craving for fish and chips will be satisfied at Joey’s Only Seafood!

  7. this has to be the worse I have ever tasted.
    dry, small, try arbys hawaian fish on a bun
    it puts this to shame, seriously

    Totally awful. Worst “fish and chips” I have ever purchased, Never again.

  9. I go to MacDonald’s every night for a soft drink and couldn’t help but notice the new ad for fish and chips. Looked so good. A takeout box over flowing with 3 sizable pieces of fish and chips.

    I was so disappointed. 2 small dry pieces of fish and a handful of chips thrown into a box. It seems a little deceptive to me as the picture implies a meal more impressive than what the customer actually gets and pays a pretty hefty price for. It is almost like bait and switch. I should have stuck with “Harvey’s” or “A & W”. At least what you see is what you get.

  10. Think I’ll stick to Pajo’s next time I get a craving for fish and chips.

  11. Bought two orders of Fish and Chips… wow what a disappointment by both of us… they where more like fish sticks with a small amount of fries plus no drink. The biggest waste of $16 bucks ever… add makes you think three pieces of big pieces of fish … not 2 skinny dry bottom feeder fish as it sure didn’t seam like haddock.
    Save your money and go to a real fish and chip restaurant… very disappointed McDonald’s you dropped the ball with fake advertising and small portion.

  12. Just disappointing, like most of the new menu and the quality of the preparation and attention to orders!! I’m not sure if I’d rather eat food out of a dumpster or eat that garbage again!! I even gave half my order to a red light pan handler, who wasn’t exactly excited to receive it!! Wouldn’t feed that food to my dog!! Good job McDonalds, who is running your show?

  13. Two small fish sticks and a bushel of potatoes, terrible, worst eight bucks, including tax I have ever spent. McDonalds you are using FALSE ADVERTISING to sell this crap! Never again.

    The fish looks and tastes like the insoles of a 12 year olds sneakers. Overpriced and gross.

  15. Absolutely terrible value. Worst fish and chips I’:ve ever had. Lived in the UK for a year so I know a thing or two. This would make any British cringe in disgust.

    Horrible. I didn’t have high hopes but figured if it’s anything like the filet o fish then I’ll try. 2 tiny pieces of fish over cooked in there nugget batter. Will never order that again

    We also ordered the fish and chips as it is one of my favorite dishes. Well first impression was it looked nothing like what was advertised which seemed to be misleading, plus the fish was very dry. Very disappointed I must say and as for the price, rather expensive for the low quality of food we received. I know I wouldn’t recommend it to others and certainly wouldnt purchase it again.

  20. complete rip off dont waist your money on this very thin piece of fish x2 on a bed of medium fries

  21. I TRIED THE FISH AND CHIPS AND I LOVED THEN AND WENT BACK THERE AND HAD THEM AGAIN TODAY.

  22. 100% disappointment. It’s not haddock fish, it’s the “customer has been had”. I will never order it again. You should be ashamed and offer a full refund, for those who have been deceived by your advertising and lack of quality.

  23. I prefer it over the fish sandwich. That being said, they need to change the box and make it rectangle. Some times the fish was bend to fit in the box.
    The also need to put more fries in it.

    Looks like lots of people like it its been sold out for over a week now.
