I had to look it up. Originally they did use Atlantic cod, but the supply 
got scarce, so they moved to New Zealand hoki — and then, some years later, 
New Zealand started limiting the number of hoki that could be taken. So 
that's when Alaskan pollock became the main choice. Apparently some 
McDonalds (in other countries) still use hoki, either New Zealand hoki or 
Atlantic hoki.

Apparently the carp thing was made up by someone. (There is also claims that 
carp is used at Burger King, who also use Alaskan pollock now for their fish 
sandwiches.)

Everything you didn't want to know about McDonald's Filet-O-Fish.
