There are a lot of foods at McDonald's that get a bad rap. 麦当劳有很多食物的名声不太好。
It is fast food after all. The chicken nuggets have long been under fire for their questionable 1 ingredients. 它毕竟是快餐。鸡块长久以来都因为成份不明而备受抨击。
And they've somehow managed to squeeze 19 ingredients into something as simple as french fries. 而且他们还以某种方式成功将十九种原料塞进像薯条那么简单的食物中。
But every restaurant has to have at least a few safe menu options, right? 不过每家餐厅的菜单上至少一定要有几道安全选项,对吧?
One item that has long been touted 2 as a smart choice is the Filet-O-Fish, 一个一直以来被捧为聪明选择的是麦香鱼,
but some Reddit posters claiming to be ex-McDonald's workers are doing their best to blow that option out of the water. 但红迪网论坛上一些声称自己是麦当劳前员工的发文者正尽全力推翻那项选择。
An insanely popular Reddit post asking fast food workers what customers should never order has garnered 3 nearly 16,000 responses. 一篇询问快餐业员工“顾客绝不该点什么”的爆红红迪网贴文已经累积了近一万六千则回应。
And a large chunk 4 of those responses have been dedicated 5 to the beloved fish option from the Golden Arches. 而那些回应有很多都是为金拱门备受爱戴的鱼餐点所写。
But the problem with the Filet-O-Fish isn't what you might think. 不过麦香鱼的问题并非你可能以为的那样。
It's not that the always-perfectly-square patty isn't actual fish—it is. 不是说那个总是完美方形的鱼饼不是真的鱼肉,它是。
McDonald's uses wild-caught Alaska pollock from certified 6 sustainable fisheries. 麦当劳使用经过认证的永续渔场的野生捕捞阿拉斯加鳕鱼。
Sounds great, right? So, what's the problem? 听起来很棒,对吧?那么,有什么问题呢?
"Give me back that Filet-O-Fish! Give me that fish!" “还我那份麦香鱼!给我那条鱼!”
Turns out that wild-caught fish still might not be fresh...at all. 结果证明,野生捕捞的鱼还是有可能不新鲜的。
In fact, it could have been sitting around for hours before you take that first bite. 事实上,在你咬下第一口前,那鱼肉可能已经放了很长一段时间了。
One user said, "No one orders Filet-O-Fish, so at my store, they sat in the cabinet forever." 一名用户说:“没人点麦香鱼,所以我们店内的麦香鱼在柜子里放超久的。”
Another person called it "the fast food equivalent of playing Russian roulette." 另一个人说这“等于是玩俄罗斯轮盘的快餐版”。
Of course, you can always request to have yours made fresh as many posters recommended, 当然,你可以像许多发文者建议的那样,要求现做你的汉堡,
but even that isn't always a sure solution. 不过就连这样都不一定是万无一失的解决方法。
Many posters claim a "fresh" patty is just one that's fresh out of the microwave, 多位发文者声称,“新鲜”鱼饼不过是刚从微波炉出炉的,
after having sat for a long time in the warmer. 之前已经在保温柜放很久了。
And even if you really are getting a fresh-cooked patty, that Filet-O-Fish may still be completely questionable, 而且就算你真的买到现做的鱼饼,那个麦香鱼还可能有疑虑,
as one Reddit poster who claimed to be an eight-year veteran of McDonald's unveiled even more dirt on this seafood 7 favorite. 因为一名说自己是麦当劳工作八年的资深员工的红迪网发文者,揭露了更多这道最受欢迎的海鲜餐点丑闻。
"The patties had a tendency to hang around well past their use-by timer. “那些鱼饼的时间往往会超过食物计时器上的食用期限很久。
Similarly, the tartar sauce could go through several days sitting out in basically room-temperature conditions." Eww! 同样地,塔塔酱可能经过好几天,曝露在基本是室温的环境下。”恶!
Not enough to turn you off? No worries! 那样还不够倒胃口吗?不用担心!
He kept going, claiming the fryer oil for the fish filets was rarely cleaned. 他继续加码,说炸鱼排油炸锅内的油极少被清理。
He finished up with "Don't get steamed buns; no one ever cleans the steamer." 他在最后写下“不要点蒸面包;从来没人去清洗蒸锅。”
Despite all this, some loyal Filet-O-Fish fans won't be swayed. " 尽管如此,一些麦香鱼铁粉可不会被动摇。
As somebody who regularly orders it, I have to disagree. “身为一个常点麦香鱼的人,我必须持不同意见。
It's by far the best fish sandwich that any fast food place has." 麦香鱼绝对是任何快餐店中最棒的鱼肉三明治。”
According to McDonald's, the sandwich is still a popular seller both in the U.S. and other countries around the world. 麦当劳表示,这款三明治在美国和全世界其他国家仍是个热销商品。
Something tells us that won't change anytime soon. 我们有预感这在短时间内不会改变。
