Rubbish
No they don't. Firstly no "meat stuff" is fried in oil if you are referring to red meat and not poultry. Filet o' fish and fish fingers have their OWN oil vat which nothing else is fried in. Chicken is fried in a different oil vat too. When the oil is filtered regularly, the fries oil goes first, in which the veggie burgers are also fried, then the oil for the cheese dippers and apple pies then the oil for the filet o'fish, then chicken etc. The filter papers are then removed and disposed of and the filter boxes cleaned out. In most stores the fries actually have their own filter papers and boxes. The only reason that the cheese dippers and apple pies are not called "vegetarian" is that there is a miniscule change of cross contamination during filtering process, though this really shouldn't happen at all. But I supposed McDonalds are so used to people 1. talking total lies about their products as here, and 2. slagging off their products, etc, that they simply won't take even the smallest of chances.
If you eat fish but you don't eat meat or chicken, your fish will not be "tainted".

I'm pretty sure McDonalds UK have a lot of certified vegetarian options. It is different from the US chain where even the fries aren't vegetarian.
If fish is a vegetarian thing then it is fried separately.

It's hardly "vaguely fish", it's wild caught white fish fillet, pollock I believe. So it is proper fish, unlike most fish fingers which are minced up stuff.

Vile things, if they tasted like the fish fingers they look like they'd sell bucket loads.
