MAIN COURSE:    Fish Burgers

The first fish burger to make it big—McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish—was created in 1962 by a Cincinnati franchise owner after noticing his sales dropped every Friday when local Catholic customers avoided meat. It became so popular that it beat out a rival idea called the “Hula Burger” (a grilled pineapple sandwich!) in a sales test—and has been on menus ever since.
