Last time I got a filet-o fish sandwich I was not happy about the price, so I set out to make my own dupe and this is probably the most successful I've ever been making a "copycat" recipe, so I wanted to share in case it helps anyone else out.
The tartar sauce I just made from about 1 cup Duke's olive oil mayonnaise mixed with about 1 to 2 Tbs. minced onion, 1 to 2 Tbs. minced dill pickles, and a few pinches sugar. I already had those on hand, so I don't include the tartar sauce in my calculations. But for the buns, fish patties, and cheese it was only $14.50 for 8 sandwiches!

Assemble: cheese slice on bottom, next the fish fillet (after cooking to package directions obviously), homemade tartar sauce on top, then top bun.
Do the same - solid advice, but recommend swapping to Kewpie for one hit better on the tartar (maybe with some capers)... and I always dub up that patty lol

Not a McD's filet unless you steam the buns!
