February 12-14
$1 for a snack size poppable fish bites (Wild Caught Alaskan Pollock in bite size pieces)

thanks...i want to get the courage to try these, but i didn't want to pay full price! i was hoping for a free sample, but this is the next best thing.

Green to OP for finding and sharing a deal, but these sound disgusting. But then, it is McD's.

After eating these you may be overcome with an urge to tell Pollock jokes.

would be better if they came with snack size mini huspuppies.

My 4 year old son loves them. Was looking for something like this as an alternative to chicken nuggets. Glad to see it.

He better get his fill now because once lent is over these will probably vanish.

Once I saw these, I was intrigued as I do enjoy an occasional McD fish sandwich. However, now that I've tried them, I don't think I'll have an urge to ever have them again. They weren't bad, just nothing memorable. They kind of reminded me of a crab cake.

They McBite.

Thanks. I would keep it to myself otherwise my stupid wife will end up getting this and 2 large shakes. Total will be $7-8 instead of $1.

McBites = dumb name

Should have called them Fish McNuggets.

I don't think they care too much as they are sure to disappear forever after the religious holiday passes.

BTW, why do people consider fish as not being meat again? Awyway...

Fish is only meat to other fish. But I suppose that is also cannibalism...

Then she repeated the total to me, as if expecting me to pay it. I told her to get a supervisor, who made an adjustment. Then I see on my receipt that the supervisor only took off $1. I know it's only a difference of like 31 cents with tax, but it's the principle. These clerks were idiots! So I asked for the supervisor again. The supervisor then tried to tell me "oh, that's just tax!" Seriously! Now I was getting pissed, since they obviously are uneducated in every sense. She told me she wasn't going to adjust it any further, because that's all the system allowed. But I stood my ground. I said they are advertised at $1, so that's all I'm paying. I refused to move my car from the window. After 2 minutes the clerk finally came back, and gave me a dollar. I said "I only want 30 cents." She said the supervisor told her to give me a dollar. I said fine, and drove away. I plan on calling the corporate office to complain. It truly isn't about the money. I can understand lazy or uneducated staff, but supervisors should be better than that!
Sorry for venting. But it is related to this McBites deal. Anyway, I thought they were tasty. I may get them again. But never at this location!

They gonna spit in your food next time. Especially after the "I only wanted 30 cents" comment.

I prefer them with the warning in the product name. I might actually be tempted to try fish McNuggets.

You drove through to spend a dollar, and made a big deal about it?
Yeah, what a principle.

In general ALL deals for franchises are YMMV as its left up to the franchise owner (except in the case where franchises are contractual obligated, but that is not the case for McDs) if they want to participate in the promotion or not. Unless it was advertised at your particular store (on the menu or signs on the walls) then you are lucky they gave you any discount at all.

They are fairly nice filet bites....not a lot of breading on them and are probably better than expected. 10 per package on the snack size and "only" 250 calories....but they are quite tasteless....if you are in for bland items this might be it. For $1.00 I would purchase again - for the $2.29 regular retail - nope...sorry. But 10 bites for $1.00 is fair. And yes they will be gone at the end of March according to industry publications.....

nasty.

Mmmm, fish balls.

just in time for Lent
