I will eat a tuna melt. Let's face it, canned tuna isn't real fish. It's the Spam of the seafood world.
If it isn't "real fish", what is it then?
I realize that when you buy a tuna steak, it is different than the tuna in a can, but I don't think the US Food & Drug Administration or the Department of Agriculture would let companies like Starkist market something as "tuna" if it weren't actually tuna.
If you buy the canned tuna for sandwiches, stick with the solid white tuna for the best flavor.
I got a fried cod sandwich today and, when I went to take a bite, I noticed it had a slice of cheese on it. To me, that's a terrible combination - fried fish, tartar sauce, and cheese. It must be something people like because I looked at some of the other fast-food places, and they also put cheese on their fish sandwiches.
Do most people like cheese on their fish sandwiches?
On a good fish sandwich, cheese is a bad idea. It lessens the crispiness because it would trap moisture under the cheese and it would get soggy. It makes no sense on a good fried fish and would be considered low brow eating or cheap crap. Of course if you are eating a McFish, then whatever is okay. That is just a quick food, not good eats.

Bingo. That cheese costs money. McDonald's and Burger King and other places like that aren't putting that slice of cheese on there without a lot of research that tells them the majority of customers want it that way.
There's this vague idea that seafood and cheese never go together, but from tuna melts to lobster thermidor to salmon quiche to pizza or caesar salad topped with anchovies, there are myriad exceptions to this supposed rule.
It's all just a matter of taste (though mine is also for a fish sandwich without cheese, generally).
Put cheese on any type of sandwich......including fish. If you don't like cheese just ask them to leave it off.
Unfortunately most Americans think like this. I do NOT like cheese on most sandwiches, it stinks! Many times I'll order it without cheese and they'll put it on there anyways, and in the case of a fish sandwich, you can't just take it off because it's melted on.
I have had two different types of fried fish sandwiches: McDonalds and BurgerKing and this was many, many years ago. I personally liked the McDonalds' sandwich and like another poster stated - the tartar sauce makes the sandwich tasty. I cannot remember if BurgerKing's sandwich had cheese on it.
Fish and cheese are tasty together in my opinion. What is a tuna melt and tuna casserole without the cheese.

Along these lines, what Italians (and many Italian-Americans) can't understand, is putting grated cheese on linguine with clam sauce. Cheese on fish...it just seems strange. To each his own, though.
