Questions about Filet-O-Fish

The fish portion is commonly made from Alaska pollock, a mild white fish. Its coating gives it a crisp outside while the fish stays soft.
What is in a Filet-O-Fish?

How can you make a fish sandwich like a Filet-O-Fish at home?
Bake or shallow-fry a breaded white-fish fillet until crisp and cooked through, then put it in a soft bun with tartare sauce and a slice of cheese. Add the sauce just before serving so the coating does not turn soggy.
Can you reheat a Filet-O-Fish?
For a crisper coating, separate the fish patty from the bun and warm the patty in an oven or air fryer at about 180 °C until piping hot; warm the bun briefly too. A microwave works, but makes the coating softer.

Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and eat them within two days. Reheat until piping hot throughout, and do not keep a reheated portion.
