The chicken nuggets have long been under fire for their questionable ingredients, and they've

麥克雞塊神秘的原料一直以來都備受爭議，而且他們似乎

somehow managed to squeeze 19 ingredients into something as simple as French fries.

也把 19 種原料放到薯條這種簡單的食物

But every restaurant has to have at least a few safe menu options, right?

但每間餐廳都有一個最不可能雷的食物，對吧？

One item that has long been touted as a smart choice is the Filet-O-Fish, but some Reddit

而麥香魚堡一直以來都被讚譽為最佳選擇，但是一些自稱是麥當勞前員工的

posters claiming to be ex-McDonald's workers are doing their best to blow that option out of the water.

Reddit 用戶發文表示反對這個想法

An insanely popular Reddit post asking fast food workers what customers should never order

一則詢問速食業員工、標題為「顧客們不該點的餐點」的超熱門 Reddit 論壇文章

has garnered nearly 16,000 responses, and a large chunk of those responses have been

累積了將近 16,000 則回覆，其中有一大堆人

dedicated to the beloved fish option from the Golden Arches.

由衷熱愛麥當勞的麥香魚堡

But the problem with the Filet-O-Fish isn't what you might think.

但麥香魚堡的問題可能跟你想的不一樣

It's not that the always-perfectly-square patty isn't actual fish — it is.

問題並不是那完美方形的炸魚塊不是真的魚肉─那確實是真的魚肉

McDonald's uses wild-caught Alaska Pollock from certified sustainable fisheries.

麥當勞選用一些認證漁家捕撈的野生阿拉斯加鱈魚

Sounds great, right?

聽起來棒透了，對吧？

So what's the problem?

所以，問題到底是甚麼？

"Give me back that fillet-o-fish!

「還我那個麥香魚堡！

Give me that fish!"

給我那個堡！」

Turns out, that wild-caught fish still might not be fresh — at all.

答案是，野生捕撈的鱈魚可能「一點」都不新鮮

In fact, it could have been sitting around for hours before you take that first bite.

事實上，在你吃下肚前，它可能已經放了好幾個小時了

One user said:

其中一位用戶表示：

"No one orders Filet-O-Fish, so at my store they sat in the cabinet forever."

「很少人會點麥香魚堡，在我這家分店，麥香魚都放在櫥櫃裡很久」

Another person called it,

另一用戶同意，並表示

"the fast food equivalent of playing Russian roulette."

「速食就跟玩俄羅斯輪盤沒甚麼兩樣。」

Of course, you can always request to have yours made fresh, as many posters recommended,

當然，你可以要求店員現做一份給你，就像許多用戶建議的一樣

but even that isn't always a sure solution.

就算是這樣，也沒辦法解決問題

Many posters claim a "fresh" patty is just one that's fresh out of the microwave — after

許多用戶宣稱「新鮮」魚塊只不過是微波爐加熱後

having sat for a long time in the warmer.

放在保溫器中預熱超久的那種「新鮮」罷了

And even if you really are getting a fresh-cooked patty, that Filet-O-Fish may still be completely

就算你真的拿到了一個現炸魚塊，麥香魚仍然令人

questionable, as one Reddit poster who claimed to be an 8-year veteran of McDonald's unveiled

存疑，一位自稱在麥當勞服務 8 年的老員工透露

even more dirt on this seafood favorite.

更多麥香魚堡的醜聞

"The patties had a tendency to hang around well past their use-by timer […] Similarly

「麥香魚塊通常會放存放超過計時器的時間，塔塔醬

the tartar sauce could go through several days sitting out in basically room temperature conditions."

通常會放在室溫中好幾天。」

Eww.

噁

Not enough to turn you off?

這還不夠讓你對麥香魚堡卻步嗎？

No worries, he kept going, claiming the fryer oil for the fish filets was rarely cleaned.

別擔心，他更提到了麥香魚塊的炸油幾乎沒有換過

He finished up with

回覆最後一句是

"Don't get steamed buns, no one ever cleans the steamer."

「別點蒸麵包皮的漢堡 ，因為從來沒人清過蒸爐。」

Despite all this, some loyal Filet-O-Fish fans won't be swayed.

就算有這些虞慮，忠實的麥香魚堡粉絲也不會動搖

"As somebody who regularly orders it [...] I have to disagree.

「身為一位經常點麥香魚堡的人，我必須為它背書

It's by far the best fish sandwich that any fast food place has."

這是目前所有速食店中最好吃的魚肉漢堡。」

According to McDonald's, the sandwich is still a popular seller, both in the US and other
