    Burger Biggie killed off the Whaler (according the the Wiki) in 1990.

    Makes sense now why my memory of it is so dim.

    The only fats food fish sarnie of wich I am aware that hasn't morphed
    into something totally off-the-wall different is McD's Filet o' Fish.
    I like to get a pair of them, fries and a hot chocolate on a cold night for a filling, enjoyable meal.

    FoF is my mom's favorite McD's sandwich (I like them too sans tartar sauce). I am wanting to start eating fresh salmon at home but unfortunately that is still out of my food budget but hopefully not for long.

    I like the tartar sauce. I'll sometimes dip my French fries in tartar
    rather than catsup - which gets me some funny looks if I'm with others.
    But, I really don't care. It's tasty (to me).

    Here's a good salmon recipe for when your wallet gets pumped up.

    Title: Four-Spice Salmon
    Categories: Seafood, Herbs
    Yield:

    4 (6 oz ea) skinned salmon
    - fillets
    Salt and black pepper
    1 tb Coriander seeds or ground coriander
    1/4 ts Whole or ground cloves
    1 1/2 ts Cumin seed or ground cumin
    1 ts Fresh grated nutmeg
    2 tb Peanut, grape seed or other
    - neutral oil, or clarified
    - butter

    Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. If
    necessary, combine spices and grind them to a coarse
    powder in a coffee or spice grinder. Press some of the
    mixture onto the top of each fillet.

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for
    2 or 3 minutes. Add the oil or butter and, when it
    shimmers, place the fillets, coated side down, in the
    pan. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spice
    mixture forms a nicely browned crust.

    Turn the fillets and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or
    until the salmon just slightly resists when pierced with
    a thin-bladed knife.

    Title: Creamy Salmon Chowder
    Categories: None
    Yield: 6 Servings

    3 tb Butter
    4 Shallots -- slivered
    1 ts Dried tarragon
    3 md Smooth-skinned potatoes --
    Thinly sliced
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/8 ts White pepper
    2 c Fish stock or chicken stock
    1 1/2 lb Salmon steaks -- 3/4 to 1
    Inch thick
    1 Lemon -- thinly sliced
    1 Bay leaf
    1 c Dry white wine
    1/4 lb Bacon slices, cut in
    1/2 -inch pieces
    1/2 sm Cabbage -- cored and
    Shredded
    1 c Whipping cream

    1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter; add
    shallots and cook, stirring, until soft but not browned. Mix in
    tarragon.

    2. Add potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add broth and bring
    to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and
    boil gently
    15 minutes.

    3. Add salmon steaks in a single layer; cover with lemon slices, then
    add bay leaf. Pour in wine. Cover again and cook over low heat until
    salmon flakes when tested with a fork and potatoes are tender (10 to
    12 minutes). Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook bacon in its own
    drippings until lightly browned. Remove from heat, drain on paper
    towel, and keep warm.

    4. Remove and discard bay leaf and lemon slices. Remove salmon steaks;
    discard salmon bones and skin and divide salmon into chunks. Add
    cabbage and cream to soup. Stir occasionally over medium heat until
    cabbage is wilted and bright green (3 to 5 minutes). Gently mix in
    salmon. Taste, and add salt if needed.

    5. Serve chowder hot, spooning several pieces of bacon into each bowl.

    Been there, done that. You will enjoy an expanded menu when your get
    your China Clippers. I know you're depending in the VA for much of your
    medical care. Just read an interesting article in which "VA hospitals
    are outperforming private hospitals, latest Medicare survey shows" on
    my NPR feed.

    Here's another I grabbed yesterday after you said you like salmon ....

    Title: Ginger-Dill Salmon
    Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Herbs, Citrus, Fruits
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 1/2 lb Salmon fillet, skin
    - optional
    Salt & pepper
    6 tb Finely chopped dill
    1 (2") piece ginger; scrubbed,
    - fine grated
    2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil; more
    - to serve
    1 Grapefruit
    2 Oranges
    6 sm Radishes; in thin wedges
    1 Avocado
    Flaky sea salt; to finish
    - (opt)

    Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

    Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Pat the salmon
    dry, then place on the tray skin-side down (if there is
    skin) and season with salt and pepper.

    In a medium bowl, stir together the dill, ginger and
    olive oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
    Spread half of the dill-ginger mixture over the top of
    the salmon. (Reserve the remaining dill-ginger mixture.)
    Bake until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (You’ll
    know the salmon is done when the fish flakes or an
    instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part
    is 120ºF/50ºC.)

    As the salmon cooks, cut off the top and bottom of the
    grapefruit and set the grapefruit down on one of the cut
    sides. Follow the curve of the fruit to cut away the
    peel and pith. Squeeze the peels into the remaining
    dill-ginger mixture to get out any juice. Cut the fruit
    in half from top to bottom, then slice into 1/4" thick
    half-moons and remove the seeds. If your pieces are
    especially large, halve them again. Transfer the fruit
    and any juice on the cutting board to the bowl. Repeat
    with the oranges. Add the radishes, season generously
    with salt, and stir gently to combine.

    Break the salmon into large pieces, and divide across
    plates with the citrus salad. Peel and pit the avocado,
    then quarter lengthwise and add to plates. Season with
    salt. Spoon the juices from the bowl over top, and
    season with black pepper, another drizzle of olive oil,
    and flaky sea salt, if using.
