American entrepreneur and inventor of the Filet-O-Fish sandwich
Louis M. Groen (August 8, 1917 – May 30, 2011) was an American entrepreneur, businessman, and lifelong resident of Cincinnati, Ohio. Groen invented the Filet-O-Fish sandwich in 1962.[1][2] He invented the sandwich at his struggling McDonald's restaurant to satisfy his customers. At the time, most of his customers were Roman Catholic, who had to abstain from eating meat on Friday. The Filet-O-Fish, served with cheese and tartar sauce, is now served at McDonald's restaurants throughout the world.
