As far as this McDonald’s Surf plus Turf Sandwich Hack goes, it confuses me with the taste. It is made of two sandwiches, Double Cheeseburger and Filet-O-Fish. Yes, this seems odd to begin with, I mean I would never want to combine this two unmatching pairs into one. However, I like to try everything at least once, so this one I have a feeling it’s going to gross me out. McDonald’s started the Hack Menu on January 31, 2022, and there are 4 sandwiches on the hack menu.

  1. Crunchy Double
  2. Land, Air, & Sea
  3. Hash Brown McMuffin
  4. Surf + Turf (app exclusive)

Surf + Turf

So, this Surf + Turf is app exclusive which means you could only get it with the McDonald’s App. The other 3 you can get it on the app, drive-thru, and inside the restaurant. There are 3 buns on this Hack Sandwich, which means 1 bun is going to be left out. So, this sandwich looks complicated, but it’s pretty easy to put it together.

Putting it Together

  • The middle top part of the Double Cheeseburger goes on top of the Filet-O-Fish.
  • The Fish top bun is left out and is not needed for this hack.
  • the middle bottom part of the Double Cheeseburger goes into the bottom of the Filet-O-Fish.

So, as I was putting this together, I was thinking that this kind of doesn’t make sense to me. But, after my first bite I was a bit surprised that it wasn’t as gross as I thought it would be. My first bite was full of fish taste, leaving the beef taste silent. As eating I noticed which ever taste goes first is the taste that dominates the entire taste from the fish or beef patty.

Not Gross and Not Great

I was expecting the worst, but for some reason it was somewhat okay. It just confused me as I was eating because one bite would taste like fish and the second beef. This confused me and a bit frustrated me. It felt as if I had both sandwich next to each other and I was taking turns biting them from left to right. That said, I would rather eat both sandwiches separately then have them combined like this hack.

I like both sandwiches, but just not mixed together. I feel like its two worlds coming into one and confusing taste. Also, to mention that the food pleasure taste is missing out from this hack. When I eat them separately, I notice the food pleasure sense that I feel, and I don’t get that feeling with this hack.

I feel like this hack is an unmatching pair, and I’m happy I tried it, just so I won’t try it again.

Further Detail

To explain this sandwich, it’s as if I’m a shark and I’m swimming around and I come across this sandwich. I eat the sandwich and I spit it out because it’s not the correct food for my type of fish. Then as swimming I come across the same sandwich and I take a bit and this time it was okay. Thats how it felt eating this hack sandwich.
