The Go Fish truck parks on weekends just steps from my front door and offers fast, relatively inexpensive, high-quality seafood. Clearly, I'm a lucky lady. When they picked a food truck to park in the Navy Yard, they must have known that I'm a seafood-a-holic. Now I can get my fix.
I've been a few times and never had a bad thing. The lobster rolls/sliders are traditionally yummy. I adore the blue crab sandwich even though it's insanely rich and decadent and leaves me incapacitated for nearly a day after eating one. The salmon rice wrap is really nice and light. Love the asian flavors all tossed together in one health dish, still allowing the salmon taste to sing.
My new favorite dish is the grilled salmon ceasar wrap. Sure, it sounds boring, but they make it so well here. The salmon is seasoned to perfection and blackened so that it has a nice crispy crunch. That with the onion straws - it's the perfect combination of flavor and texture.
The menu is generally fantastic, they have yummy seasonal specials, and offer an array of special sauces for a customized lunch.
Sorry guys, gotta knock a star. There are so many technical difficulties with this truck. Often, it is nowhere to be found on the pier at its allotted time. About half the time I've been, the credit card machine isn't working. Did you know that you can buy an iPhone attachment that will allow you to take credit cards with your phone? The trucks all do it at SoWa. There is no excuse for not accepting credit cards. -

Solid fried haddock sandwich, it could have used a bit more.....crispyness (?) in the actual breading, but the fish was good and the fries were great.
My order came out quickly, the price is reasonable, I'll be trying other menu items soon. -

This truck just moved into the Government Center rotation, and they are not ready for prime time.
I tried this truck once before while it was over in Charlestown. The food was very good, but they seemed to take a while to get it out of the truck. I understand that this is because the food is made fresh to order. Freshness is commendable, and the slow service fit the low pace of a Charlestown food truck, but this does not work well with the Government Center crowd.
The line was tremendous and the backlog enormous. I ordered a salmon ceaser wrap, and had to wait about 20 minutes. They had lost my ticket, and were serving people who had ordered behind me. While I was waiting, I saw them screw up at least two other orders, serving people the wrong dishes.
They seemed very disorganized, and there were a lot more people standing around waiting than eating.
The wrap was decent - it could have used more salmon. It was not worth the wait though. I won't be going back. -

Best lunch place in the Navy Yard - hands down! The smoked cod/chorizo and lobster slider combo is a 5 star - can't beat the price too - $8 for 3 sliders. The only down side is the wait if it gets busy on a pretty Saturday afternoon. I suggest going at an off hour - 2pm is usually less busy.

Awesome Fish and Chips, super fresh, and fantastic array of flavored tartar sauces.
My only regret is that they didn't have steak fries, opting for the thinner ones. Just not the same with Fish n Chips.

Ordered the chorizo and cod sliders. Very good! The cod and chorizo are flavorfully put together in crabcake form on a tasty buttery bun.

Didn't know anything about this truck before trying it so I was a bit wary but the fish and chips were great! $7.95 got you 3 pieces of perfectly fried fish and a large portion of tasty fries. Yes, it could have used a bit more salt but the fish was delicious and I enjoyed the special tartar sauces they had (although a plain variety would've been nice.)
Anyway, I was pretty surprised at how good it was and would likely try it again. -

I've eaten from this truck multiple times, in quite an array of circumstances, and each time the food was great. Served hot and fresh, and tasting just as advertised. Nice and messy too, if you get a sandwich.
They may not be the fastest truck in the lot, but I think they do a great job considering their limited space. I know the chef is professionally trained, so he must be torn between putting out the best product possible, while making it work out the back of the truck.
Keep it up, we'll be back! -

Got the sea bass taco special at SoWa Food Truck Sunday- good quality fish and ingredients, but overall lacking in flavor. Would try some of their other menu items. People seemed to love the lobster roll...
Also, the people manning the truck were super friendly! -

So I've been to the truck twice - one time was a 5 star, one time was more of a 3 star. The first time I went I ordered their special which that day was a mahi mahi made with coconut infused rice and mango salsa. I waited about 10 minutes, which for something made fresh - was no big deal. The fish was prepared perfectly and tasted delish. I felt I was eating healthy and yet so enjoying my lunch by the water (here in Charlestown). The price tag was about $7.50 - which, honestly, where can you get an awesome meal like that for $7.50 - I think Panera costs more people!
The second time I went it was a bit more busy. I ordered the wasabi salmon rollup and it took a good amount of time until I was served. I was a bit let down since my first experience was so stellar. My rollup was kinda falling apart and not really a great take-away style food and the taste was mediocre. I still feel like, where can you get a salmon rollup for $7.50 otherwise, so it still warrants high praise!
I wish Charlestown would allow more food trucks like this - or they should come here more often :) Great addition to the neighborhood lunch options (there aren't many) -

Go Fish from Brother Trucker is a catering food truck that serves GREAT FISH and meals. My first experience was waiting for the bus at the Malden T station and the folks from the truck came by with a bunch of samples of their menu. Let me just first state...fresh fish and more from a truck? My question was answered when I tried their samples.
Just to make sure it wasn't just the sample that was cooked well, a few of us went over to the truck stand that is teal blue located at TJ's Auto 315 Pleasant St. We ordered the Clam Chowdah, Haddock Sandwich, Grilled Chix - ALL were excellent!!
Amazing the fresh fried clams and fish was cooked from a truck, but the taste and portion will prove the idea wrong....it is excellent in taste, portion, and cost.
Well done -

Love the concept and the quality food for such cheap money. This truck sits outside the Pru next to the Christian Science reflector pool most afternoons. I ordered there for the first time yesterday and loved the service and the quick turnaround time. I was especially pleased with the cleanliness of the truck and the condiment and utensil table over to the side. The selection of condiments was also quite impressive. They had vinegar, oil, red pepper tartar sauce, ketchup, hot sauce...and more. Beautiful presentation of the food, too! I think they sturdy carry-out container was made from recycled materials and they garnished my fish and chips with dried parsley...it looked as great as it tasted. I'm going to try the lobster sliders next!

I tried this place out today out of curiosity and was not disappointed. The crab slider and lobster slider were fantastic. Brother trucker does not slack on the amount of quality seafood he packs into his sliders. The lobster was my fave though neither will disappoint as the lightly seasoned meat is perfectly sandwiched between two buttery, grilled pieces of fresh roll. Food truck fabulousness delivers a solid 4 stars!

Great food, great service and really convenient! The fish tacos are terrific, and the sliders are amazing. The unsung hero? The tuna, Cesar salad wrap. The smoked onion crisps really make this wrap amazing

was making a beeline for Silk Bbq when i saw this new food truck. looked promising so placed an order of fried haddock sammie w/ roast pepper tartar. came with a fair bit of filet on grilled buns but lacked seasoning, tartar sauce no discernable flavor. bit pricey for what it was. may try again if catfish on menu.

The food was pretty good, a tad bland. Had the fish and chips, batter could've used some salt.The red pepper tartar also could have used a bit more flavor. It was a little below what I had expected, having waited in line for over 20 minutes, but I'd give them another go. They were very nice and pretty quick about getting orders out though. Price was about where it should be.

This is my new go-to lunch spot near my office. And working above the Prudential Center mall, there are literally hundreds of options nearby. Their food is quick, cheap, and much healthier than anything I could get in the food court or most other places. And more importantly, the dishes are delicious and creative, such a treat in a workday. I'm a sucker for fish tacos, and their fish taco specials are drool-worthy, never fried. The kind of thing that once you're done, you never want to ingest anything again just to keep the flavor around. And their lobster rolls are the best. I recently had out-of-towners visiting that had never tried a lobster roll -- instead of taking them to the obvious Legal Seafoods or Barking Crab, we sought out Go Fish. Because it's just that good. Yum.

3.5 stars. Fish and chips was tasty and portion was good sized. Service was fine, though not particularly speedy. To get 5 stars, needs better prices.

Fantastic! Fresh, not over-cooked fish (a rarity), deliciously spiced with a gentle touch that respects the quality of the fish. This place is a tremendous addition to Boston (and especially to the Prudential/Christian Science Plaza location in which it sits some weekday lunchtimes). Bravo Mayor Menino for bringing this to the city -- and bravo Go Fish! for your commitment to quality fish as a daily treat.
