MARCH 2025 UPDATE: Welcome to Lent season! Due to inflation, I doubt we’ll ever see a national 2 for $5 Filet-O-Fish again. However, McDonald’s usually runs some type of fish promotion between now and Easter Sunday. Regular price is now $4.39 in my area (up from $3.99 last year), so I’m thinking a sale price around $3 might happen? Possibly an app-only BOGO deal? I’ll keep watching. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!
McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish deals have been happening for more than 50 years. I’m 60 and can remember when they were just 49 cents! Over the years, the promotional price has increased gradually: 59 cents, 79 cents, 99 cents, 2 for $2, 2 for $2.22, 2 for $3, 2 for $3.33, 2 for $4, 2 for $4.44, and finally 2 for $5. In many areas, the Filet-O-Fish was available last year as part of McDonald’s 2 for $6 Mix & Match Deal. Originally, this special pricing was only available during the weeks leading up to Good Friday and Easter. More recently, we’ve been seeing Filet-O-Fish specials year-round!
While we’re on the subject of fish sandwich offers for Lenten season, here’s the others that I have found at other restaurants:
– Arby’s: 2 for $6.99 Mix ‘n Match Crispy Fish or Fish N Cheddar. Confirmed for 2025, price has increased from 2 for $6.00 in 2024.
These offers were available last year, but have not yet been confirmed for 2025:
