Whiting fish
Ebony M.

Update: The original guys that were apart of this food truck is no longer there. I thought I would give it a try anyway. Bad decision, the fish is great but the young lady with braids, and glasses is rude for no reason. When you walk up to give your order, does not speak, or say Thank you, as if your doing her a favor. When it comes to food, and especially when I drive friends 30 minutes out of my way one way to patronize a small business, customer service matters. I will no longer go to this location. However the food truck on South Orange Ave., will get my continued support. They are very friendly, the fish is great, can't ask for more. This seafood truck across from UMDNJ makes legendary fried whiting, with a signature tartar sauce that has my friends a far as LA, Boston, and the South running to Newark for the fried fish. The fried whiting reminds me of fried fish that you only get in the South. The batter, crispiness of the fish, will have even a picky eater wanting more. The pride that is shown with cooking each order fresh, and caring if a customer is happy with their order is why I love sharing these hidden gems on my social media What made me fall even more in love with this food truck is while I was waiting for my order, a very nice Senior man walked by the truck, and he had no money for food. It was pouring down raining. This precious Senior gentleman was not a panhandler, beggar. This man was dressed respectively, very well mannered. The Owner of the food truck stopped his business conversation, and personally went out of his way to give this man a full meal hot meal, not scraps but a real meal. I was so touched by the Owners kindness, that alone deserves 10 stars.

Potato salad

5 star fried fish FOR SURE! It's lightly coated, seasoned well & fried crispy! All orders come with two slices of fresh bread, hot sauce and tarter sauce. The hot sauce has such good flavor, but it has no spice at all. The tarter sauce was more like a honey mustard but it surprisingly went well with the fish! I tried the potato salad and it lacked everything good potato salad should have. Unfortunately I can't recommend it... There's normally a line here, but it always moves fast. If you're pressed for time, this food truck allows you to call in your order ahead of time! I've always experienced decent customer service here. I mean it's a food truck that's extremely busy, so I always keep that in mind during my visits. Why not at least a 4 star rating? Because the location COUNTS! This truck is located directly across from UMDNJ hospital in Newark. It's not a terrible area, but not the best either. I always notice tons of trash all around which is completely ridiculous to me. I know it's not the responsibility of the food truck, but they are in that same spot ALL THE TIME! It doesn't hurt to step out of that truck and clean the immediate area for your customers! You more than likely will be approached by a panhandler or two, so be prepared for that! Also, parking can be a doozie during lunch time! There's a shopping plaza a few feet away that's pretty much abandoned. Park there at your own risk! Nevertheless the fried fish here is fantastic, so I'll be back again and again! I suggest giving them a try...

The fish is always top notch. When you order you have to ask if everyone put their order in before you just walk and start ordering.

Probably the best fish in Newark. Quick friendly service. Call ahead so you're not waiting too long.

The food was good, but it took an hour for me to get my order. The wait was not worth it!read more

I really wanted to love this place because my first experience was amazing. My first order was the…read morefried catfish dinner with mac and cheese and yams. The catfish was fried to perfection, the mac and cheese was delicious, and the yams had just the right amount of sweetness. The second time, I ordered the same meal and added a side of fried shrimp. The shrimp was delicious, but it was obvious there was a different cook in the kitchen. The mac and cheese and yams were just mid, and the rice that came with the catfish had way to much garlic. Tonight (6/22), I decided to give them one more try. Unfortunately, it was my worst experience yet. I ordered the same meal, and the mac and cheese had chunks of chicken or some other meat mixed in it....totally unexpected YUCK. The yams were not good, the rice was mediocre, and the catfish was just okay. The biggest issue is consistency. The catfish seems to follow the same recipe every time, but the sides are all over the place from visit to visit. Management really needs standardized recipes so the food tastes the same no matter who's cooking. Consistency is what keeps customers coming back. Based on my last two experiences, I won't be eating here again. The first visit showed me how good the food can be, but unfortunately the quality hasn't been consistent enough to earn my business
