mmm-yoso!! is a blog about food, written by a few friends. Today, ed (from Yuma) and Kirk are busy, so Cathy is stepping in with a short post.
Hi. I haven't posted in a while. Life has been kind of busy and both The Mister and myself had that fever/cough/crud/spitting thing going on, so, even though we were eating, nothing seemed interesting enough to write about. But I took some photos anyhow. I decided to share some oddities. This is the first episode.
It was Lent. 40 days of some sort of sacrifice before Easter. Usually people give up some sort of food as their sacrifice. Sometimes it is just not eating meat. Every fast food restaurant had some sort of fish sandwich/deal going on.
Wendy's Fish sandwich
, which was really good.
Jack in the Box had a great deal.
My ever favorite McDonald's Filet O Fish Fridays
Then, I saw this at Der Weinerschnitzel.
You know I had to stop and try it.
Because it looked ..so wrong… So very, very wrong.
Basically a fish stick on a hot dog bun, with lettuce and tartar sauce. Less than $2.
It did taste pretty good, quite a heavy/large fish stick which was fried properly and served on a steamed bun with iceberg lettuce and a vinegary tartar sauce.
Conclusion: don't judge by looks.
Secondary conclusion: There may be a Food Stylist job open soon.
It's almost the weekend. Hope everyone has been having a good week, even though Tax Day was in the middle.
Hi Kathy. Hope you and the Mr. are feeling better. When you think of Der W, you definitely don’t think fish stick. But if you think about it a bit, the hot dog bun is similar to the buns they use for lobster rolls back east. Nothing like a lobster roll, yum
lobster roll? That’s nice to hear.
Holy crap, I am amazed that that actually exists. They could probably create an adorable Fish Dog mascot…hmm….
Okay, maybe not.
Hi Stephen- I am much better, The Mister is getting there. Thanks.
I suppose if Der Schnitz was going to do some sort of fish thing, serving it on a hot dog bun makes sense. Lobster rolls would make Lent not a sacrifice at all for me…those buns are toasted, though.
Hey Ron- You can use canned lobster – less workand all the flavor. I’ll do a recipe for lobster rolls. Soon.
Faine! Good to hear from you. It is an artistic challenge, isn’t it?
Fillet o Fish Fridays! Yeah! I had some of those, too. Haven’t seen the Der W’s version. It reminds me of a Fillet o Fish sans cheese and stretched out. The picture looks better than the real thing. But then what fast food doesn’t?
Glad you’re back, Cathy!
Glad you are back – though that fishdog looks pretty scary.
Ah, welfare Fridays. How I doth did not miss thee.
You forgot to mention the free carp in the San Diego River. And the occasional dead bum that floats on by.
That’ll male y’alls a big ole bucket of fish sticks.

Thanks, Carol. The lack of cheese (and it is only a half slice on the FoF) may be part of the flavor difference. The amount of fish is more I think. I had to wait 4 minutes for them to cook it.
Thank you too, ed. That picture is kind of scary-and why I had to try it.
Oh, I am sure you could blog in a more exquisite way than I do about the food you eat, Dobbson. You seem to be quite the NetScribe. We’d welcome you to help us out on the blog.
I had grasshoppers at El Tejate last Friday … those are okay during lent, right?
I like McDonalds Filet-O-Fish, so I was inspired by your post to have one today. I don’t think I’ve ever had the fish sandwich from Wendys or Jack, and I don’t like the ones at Burger King or Carl’s Jr. Maybe I’ll have to check out Der Weinerschnitzel soon.
I’m glad someone like the Wendy’s fish sandwich I thought I was the only one. The fish dog I wish I was still in OC to try it out. Awesome!
Sorry to hear you’ve had this weird cough ‘n’ spit thing going on, too.
Grasshoppers are not counted as meat, so OK for Lent, TOG. Stir fried or battered?
I know all the locations in the county that have FOF Friday year round, Sandy. It’s one of those cravings I can’t kick.
Love that Wendy’s Premium Fish Fillet, Bill. It really is a great sandwich. Quite large, too.
Thanks, Trent. I just want it gone.
The mention of lobster rolls… the eyes glaze over, and a dusty memory of having New England style split hotdog buns… the perfect split rolls that are grilled on the outside in butter before they pile in the still warm lobster, and then serve it in a cardboard sleeve. Yeah, we could use a place like that around here…
Stop it, mindless. Now I am drooling!
And grasshoppers are kosher I believe.
You are so much more worldly than I, ed. ๐
