Those who know me well know that I have an unnatural affection for McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish. This usually manifests itself late at night after I’ve had a few drinks, but I’ve also been known to indulge my Filet addiction at lunchtime.

So it was with delight and submarine satisfaction that I found this story in USAToday about the birth of the Filet-O-Fish.

Poor Fishies – but cool story!
