    Supposedly, it's that very reason they exist in the first place. A Catholic guy owned a McD's franchise in a very Catholic neighborhood and invented the sandwich so he'd have something to sell during Lent.

    At least that's what I heard.

    Of course they don't but I felt like this one mislead me the most so far. Usually they look bigger in the picture allright, but not this much.

    Also it might be a regional difference because I usually find my Filet-o-Fishes to match the image as much as any other burger.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    It is. Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's, came up w/ a Pineapple burger, which I think was just a pineapple slice on a bun. The guy you mentioned came up w/ a fish sandwich, so Kroc had them compete to see which would be the most popular. I think the consumers made the right choice.
