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.
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.
