Описание: Here's the history of the famous fish sandwich:

🐟 The Humble Beginnings (1962)

*The Inventor:* The sandwich was invented in 1962 by **Lou Groen**, a McDonald's franchise owner in **Cincinnati, Ohio**.
*The Problem:* Groen's restaurant was in a **predominantly Catholic neighborhood**. Due to the religious practice of abstaining from meat (meat and poultry) on Fridays, especially during **Lent**, his hamburger sales plummeted, sometimes to as little as \$75 a day. He was struggling to keep his franchise afloat.
*The Solution:* Groen noticed a nearby restaurant, Frisch's Big Boy, was doing well with a fish sandwich. He developed his own recipe for a breaded whitefish sandwich with tartar sauce on a steamed bun to give his Catholic customers a meatless option.

🍍 The Head-to-Head Competition

*Ray Kroc's Rival:* When Groen pitched the idea to McDonald's founder *Ray Kroc**, Kroc was initially against it, reportedly saying he didn't want the smell of fish in his restaurants. Kroc had his own meatless alternative: the **"Hula Burger,"* which consisted of a slice of grilled pineapple and cheese on a bun.
*The Showdown:* Kroc made a deal: they would sell both the Filet-O-Fish and the Hula Burger on a Friday during Lent, and the one that sold the most would earn a permanent spot on the menu.
*The Winner:* The Filet-O-Fish *won overwhelmingly!* In one of the earliest tests, Groen sold 350 Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, while the Hula Burger sold only **six**.

🗓️ A Permanent Menu Item

In *1965**, the Filet-O-Fish officially became the **first new non-hamburger menu item* to be added to McDonald's national menu.
The original recipe used *Halibut**, but it was later changed to **cod* and then to the more sustainable *Alaskan Pollock* to keep costs down and ensure supply.

Today, McDonald's still sells a huge portion of its Filet-O-Fish sandwiches—around *25%* of its annual sales—during the Lenten season.

Is there anything else you'd like to know, perhaps the current ingredients or where the fish comes from?
