Posting on the Facebook group , Leanne Short shared her foolproof way to get the perfect battered fish at home.
Rather than using one lump of fish like she’d done in the past, Leanne – who runs the – decided to mince the pollock for her homemade Filet-O-Fish.
She explained: ” I minced the pollock added salt and pepper, shaped, froze for 10/15 mins and dipped in flour, egg and breadcrumbs.”
After this, she then froze the fish for another 15 minutes and fried it until it was golden brown.
She continued: “I put it in a brioche bun I had steamed and added the traditional half a slice of cheese and topped with tarter sauce.”
What’s more, Leanne even claims that her homemade version tastes BETTER than the original.
And based on how mouth-wateringly good it looks, she might just be right.
Leanne’s post has racked up hundreds of likes in the group and inspired others to get cooking.
One replied: “I’ve never tried the fillet o fish but you know what, after seeing this I may give it a go.”
Another fan raved: “Omg can we get married? This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.”
A third gushed: “That’s really impressive. Well done!”
Earlier this week, Leanne also shared her version of a sausage McMuffin in just a few short steps.
