Friendly owners. Sizzling fresh food. Price was decent for a food cart serving seafood. I got the large serving for $16 and that was a good choice. I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine.Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!

One day I didn't budget my time properly so I was looking for lunch that wasn't fast food that I could eat in the car. Fish and chips to the rescue. I got the cod. It had a panko crust which sometimes I prefer to batter. They were a little bit salty for my taste but ever since I got COVID lots of things have tasted salty so take that with a grain of salt I'm not a tartar sauce guy but this is some great sauce. I feel like later I got a piece of tarragon(?) out of my teeth and reminded me of the herby yummy sauce. I scoffed at first at the chips. Very non uniformly cut but surprisingly all well cooked. I don't know if it's they type of potato but the skin was really off putting. But solid toothsome chips that a splash of vinegar helps a lot. If I end up in a similar position again I'll definitely consider coming back.

This is a tasty little food cart on 82nd.It does take a little bit of a wait, but well worth it. And the tartar sauce is out of this world. If you're craving some yummy fish and chips, I'd say try them out for a friendly fun experience.

It is so hard for me to understand how foodtrucks - especially tiny trucks like the Year of the Fish - can pump out such great food. Well, that's a mystery I don't feel the need to explain. Becuase Year of the Fish has cracked the formula. If you're looking for fresh, high quality, easy-eating (not sure that's an actual expression) food . . . look no further than the Year of the Fish. Sure, there are much higher end places to gnosh on fish-n-chips or quaff a beer along with your clam strips - but dollar-for-dollar it is super hard to beat the Year of the Fish.Add to the catch (had to lay out a fishing pun ;-) the fact that the owner and staff are just such nice blokes - and this place should be a regualr stop for any of us that like fried things from the ocean. By the way - my mother (80+ yo) loves fried clam strips. She has a culinary mission to eat at every clam strip restaurant/cart/foodtruck in the Pacific Northwest. She gives Year of the Fish a solid 5-stars.

Another impressive Portland food truck. It's really amazing how they can make such delicious and good quality food in a small space. They focus on fish and chips here and have a few other options, such as clams, chowder, and prawns. I ended up going with the combo plate that had cod and snapper. The fish was perfect and well accompanied by the fries. You don't really need the sauces for these, but those were a nice addition and made the food even better.

I wish that they could find a more stable home for this FANTASTIC food cart. This is the second time they've been unceremoniously left without a home base.
