McDonald’s are introducing a new Filet-O-Fish burger for the first time in 50 years

Coming to a restaurant near you next week

50 years on from its first appearance on these shores, burger-lovers can get their hands on a Double Filet-O-Fish from next Tuesday (July 1).

To mark this sensational occasion, McDonald's App orderers will be charged just £2 on the day of its nationwide release - way cheaper than the standard price of £5.29.

The best part is that the Double is going to be a permanent fixture on the Maccies menu, not just some limited-edition product that'll ultimately dishearten its clientele.

Also available through the Everyday Value Meal deal - costing £7.39 in total - the Filet-O-Fish consists of two breadcrumbed Pollock fish patties, melted cheese and tartare sauce.

News of the Double's existence has caused widespread celebrations on social media, with one person writing: "I FEEL SEEN! Breaming with excitement!"

"Ahhhh!! I'm soo happy!!!! Best news ever!! Going to order two Filet-O-Fish now and turn it into a Big Fish Mac, to celebrate! The 1st of July is too far away," read another reaction.

A third individual added: "Beyond excited for this. Finally!!!!"

Earlier this month, Maccies unleashed the Big Arch burger across the country too.

Featuring a pair of 100% British and Irish beef patties, white cheddar, onions, lettuce, pickles and the signature Big Arch sauce, it was unveiled by the company's Head of Menu Thomas O'Neill in a statement.

"A new iconic burger needs an equally iconic sauce, and we've taken it up a notch with the Big Arch," he said.

"This isn't just about size, it's about flavour. With double layers of beef, crispy onions, and the hero of the build, our signature sauce, every bite is crafted to hit the spot to satisfy serious McDonald's hunger. Big, bold, and packed with serious deliciousness."
