... today I eat a Burger King Big Fish sandwich - it looked like fish and sorta smelled like fish but it didn't taste like fish. Does anyone know what they(any fast food fish filet) are made out of?? Possibly recycled plastic?

Fast food restaurants are big into recycling. Almost all of their restrooms feedback into their kitchens in one way or another.

Does anyone know > what they(any fast food fish filet) are made out of?? > Possibly recycled plastic? http://www.burgerking.com/Food/Nutrition/ingredients.aspx : BK FISH FILETΒ PORTION : : Selected USDC inspected fish portions (Cod or Pollock) Water, Bleached : Wheat Flour, Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour (Flour, Niacin, Iron, : Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid). Contains 2% or less of : each of the following: Yellow Corn Flour, Partially Hydrogenated : Soybean Oil, Modified Corn Starch, Salt, Dextrose, Yeast, Sugar, Onion : Powder, Garlic Powder, Spice, Oleoresin, Paprika and Annatto Extracts : to Enhance Color. Looks like it's two thirds flour and one third fish. More of a fish biscuit or fish loaf. It does contain some parts of fish (don't ask which parts) even if the selection process is "sweep the floor". :) Anthony

Most likely they use flour filler. Don't know if they're required to be over 50% fish, maybe not. The taste, or lack of, can also be affected by the oil. Maybe they're being frugal, and boiling this rancid, (trans fatty-acid contaminated) oil over and over again, or using a low-grade recycled motor oil...?? trivia: at least with chicken nuggets you get about 60% chicken (the rest is usually soy filler) Ancient Chinese Wisdom: "The faster your food, the faster you're dead"

They list two kinds of wheat flour. Using different forms of the same thing is a way to mislead consumers by making it appear that something else is the main ingredient. Anthony

The ingredient list is for the breaded and fried item. That is, fish + batter. Also, while ingredients are listed in proportional order, there is no way of telling exactly how much of an ingredient is included.
