The answer might surprise you. On this week’s episode of Let’s Dish, we discuss the rising prices of seafood—specifically, how much is a double filet o fish at McDonald’s?

What Is A Double Filet O Fish?
It’s a common question: What is the difference between a double-filet o fish and a normal filet o fish? A double-filet o fish is a specific type of fish that is typically served with two fillets stacked on top of one another. They’re also usually a lot more expensive than a standard filet o fish. In fact, a double-filet o fish from McDonald’s will set you back $12.95, while a standard filet o fish from the same restaurant will cost you $6.95 (not including the tax).
So which is better? Well, that really depends on what you like. For those who like their fish more on the tart side, a double-filet o fish has more depth of flavor than a regular one. But if you’re looking for something a little more mellow, go with a standard filet o fish. In either case, make sure to order the fish and chips, which is also a great way to make use of the more expensive fish.
What Is The Difference In Price?
There are several reasons why a double-filet o fish might be more expensive than a regular one. First, the bigger the fish, the more expensive it tends to be. So ordering a large fish isn’t exactly the cheapest option. Second, the type of food you get when you order a double-filet o fish is more expensive. Third, this type of food typically doesn’t stay in stock very long, so you’ll have to order it pretty fast if you want to get it. Fourth, most restaurants that offer this type of food don’t have many locations, so you’ll have to travel far to get your hands on some. Finally, the cost of labor for preparing this type of food is generally higher than that of regular fish, so you have to pay extra for highly skilled chefs.
In short, the price of a double-filet o fish depends on several factors. First, the size of the fish. Second, the type of food you want. Third, how far you want to travel to get the food. Fourth, how much you’re willing to spend on labor. Finally, the price of the fish itself depends on several factors, including the type of fish, the market, and the season.
Is It Worth The Extra Money?
The answer to this question really depends on you. If you’re buying this food for yourself, then it’s probably not worth the extra money. But if you’re doing this as a special treat for someone else, then it could be worth it. Just make sure that they’re willing to pay for everything, including the alcohol you might consume while cooking.
To make things easier for you, we’ve compiled a list of the prices for different types of fish, as well as the prices at different locations and times. (All prices are in U.S. dollars.)
Here’s the lowdown on some of the most common and the most expensive fish:
Rainbow Trout
This food is often advertised as healthy, since it’s low in cholesterol and high in vitamin D. And what’s better than health for dessert? Well, a lot, but especially when it comes to fish. Rainbow trout are typically much cheaper than other types of fish, so if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, this is the one for you. (Prices range from $0.75 to $1.50 per pound, so get your hands on a whole one for a bargain.)
Red Snapper
Red snapper are another amazing food that you can’t really go wrong with. They’re a type of fish that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help our bodies function properly. So while we’re always looking for ways to improve our health, eating healthy is one of the best ways to do it. (Prices range from $1.50 to $2.50 per pound, so make sure you order these fish at a restaurant that knows how to prepare them properly.)
Swordfish
Swordfish are known for their dangerous nature, which means you have to be careful when you order them. But let’s be honest, they are also quite delicious, especially when prepared by a skilled chef. Not only is it good for your health to eat vegetables on occasion, but it’s also good for your wallet to eat well. (Prices range from $3.00 to $5.00 per pound, so make sure you’re ordering these if you want to treat yourself.)
Marlin
Marlin are quite expensive, too, which is fortunate for us since they’re one of the most delicious fish out there. (Prices range from $5.00 to $6.50 per pound, so if you’re ordering these, make sure to get them on the cheap.) They also have an incredible texture that you have to try once to appreciate. And for those who want to go all the way, there are big-game hunters who are experienced in taking down these amazing creatures. (Just make sure you’re eating the right thing. They’re generally very large, so they can weigh as much as 18 pounds!)
Tuna
Tuna is another type of fish that is very affordable and very popular. It’s commonly found in the seas around North America and Europe, and since it’s a saltwater fish, it doesn’t really need to be stored in as much as fresh water. This is why it’s such a great option for those who want to keep their food budget low. (Prices range from $0.75 to $2.25 per pound, which makes it easier for you to get your hands on a few.) Tuna is one of the most versatile fishes out there, so you can prepare it in several ways to fit any taste. Plus, it’s incredibly affordable, so even those on a tight budget can have some. (Unless, of course, you want to go the extra mile and get a really big canister of tuna, which will set you back a pretty penny.)
Where Can I Get A Good Deal On Fish?
If you’re looking for a bargain on fish, then you might need to look elsewhere. Restaurants and markets that sell fresh fish are going to have higher prices for something so valuable. So if you want to get your hands on some fish for a good price, then go to an already prepared food source.
You could also try buying some frozen fish, which is what a lot of people do when they’re on a budget. Some brands will even defrost fish for you if you’re cooking it at home, so you don’t have to worry about thawing the right way. (Just make sure you’re buying from a trusted source and that the fish isn’t frozen too solid; you don’t want to break the tooth on a frosty can of fish.)
When Is The Best Time To Order Fish?
The best time to order fish is pretty much all the time. This is because fresh fish doesn’t really stay fresh for very long. (Most seafood shops have an expiration date on their products, so make sure you eat them before then.) If you want to get the most out of your fish, then you need to order it as soon as you get it. Otherwise, it might start going bad. (Unless you’ve frozen it first.) And remember: The fresher the fish, the higher the price. So don’t expect to find cheap fish at a restaurant.
What About Seasonality?
Fish are generally cheap in the summer, so if you’re looking for cheaper food, then this is the time to splurge. Ordering fish during this season is usually a good idea, but make sure you read the menu carefully before ordering, so you’re not surprised by the high price (or worse, spoiled food).
Winter is also a good time for ordering fish, especially those frozen varieties that don’t spoil as easily as fresh fish. (Thaw frozen varieties carefully according to package instructions so you don’t end up with chunks of ice in your fish.) And remember: The colder the climate, the more expensive the food will be. So if you want to get your hands on some delicious, fresh fish, then you might need to find a way to keep it warm during the winter months.
