This past Sunday, a new on the scene food truck, Fish N Wings, was our choice for lunch. Their mission is to serve hot, fresh fish and flavor packed wings while providing clean and friendly service...and that's exactly what they did! We tried a wing and fish combination platter. The platter came with fried fish, wings, cole slaw, french fries, slices of white bread, Mumbo sauce, a beverage, and packets of hot sauce & ketchup.
One of the goals of Fish N Wings is to bring Mumbo sauce to the Triad. This is a red orange sauce from Washington, DC that's similar to BBQ sauce but thinner and closer to Chinese sweet and sour. It's put on fried chicken wings, french fries, and fried rice.
We started with the chicken wings. There were two flats and two drumettes in the combo. They were deep fried until the skin was nicely crisp and the meat was juicy and flavorful on the inside. We could see flecks of seasoning on the skin. The Mumbo sauce is served on the side, and we both enjoyed it. I thought it had a bit of Caribbean flair with the fruity sweetness. These wings were fantastic. The chicken wings and Mumbo sauce were an example of when a chef has perfected a dish in their repertoire.
The Cole Slaw was made from fresh chopped cabbage, shredded carrot, and a mayonnaise dressing. The crispy French Fries had been sprinkled with seasoned salt. I dipped mine in the Mumbo sauce for even more added flavor.
The three pieces of tender, flaky fish had been battered in a cornmeal crust and deep fried. The piping hot fish had a bit of zip from the spices. The well-seasoned, crispy fish tasted great on its own. We tore it apart and ate it with our fingers. You could also make a sandwich with the slices of soft bread if you preferred. Fish N Wings accepts credit cards. The service was friendly and the food was great.
