Best fried fish on the west coast. No hyperbole

Might be my favorite food cart in the Asylum food truck pod. The seafood is always fresh. The halibut was flavorful and crispy. Fries and tatar sauce are the cherry on top

Great fish and chips here, freshly fried and very crispy. I really enjoyed the clam chowder and little piece of bread that it came with. They have several options of fish for the fish and chips which rotate depending on their supply and the current fishing season. I got the pacific cod. I would definitely eat here again as it was a great warm meal for a cold night and I would get it again.

Fresh, in-house baked bread, tender clams, non-mayo coleslaw, perfection! This was not my first visit, nor will it be my last. The picture says it all!

The fish was excellent. I only wish there was malt vinegar with it. The lemonade started out great, but by the bottom of the cup, the jalapeño became a bit much.

HANDS DOWN, THE BEST FISH AND CHIPS IN PORTLAND!!! Are you looking for perfectly seasoned and battered fish? Hoping the fries are crunchy and delicious? Wishing the tartar sauce is tasty AF?! Look no further! I was introduced to this fantastic food cart today, and I know I will be back OFTEN. It’s worth a drive from the west side… And I mean deep west side (Beaverton). The staff couldn’t have been nicer, the portion couldn’t have filled me up more perfectly… And the jalapeño Lemonade was incredibly refreshing. DEFINITELY give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Looked around the asylum for something new. Fresh chowder and fries sounded good. Clams are supposed to be locally sourced and from WA. Right from the get go, the chowder was missing salt. It’s was bland and the sourness from the lemon was overpowering. The consistency was thick but not rich. Maybe xanthan gum as a thickening agent. Ordered a regular size of fries. I haven’t received a more disappointing order of fries from any food location. Yes #1 in that department. The included sliver of bread that came with the chowder was great.

Tucked back against the best tables with overhead heaters and rain shields, music playing overhead. I love the vibe here. Came for what has already been called out: FRESH Pacific seafood! No complaints. Just delicious.

The (2 fresh thin sliced) Jalapeño Lemonade, Lg. was delicious, refreshing and had just the best aftertaste of capsaicin at the time for me, it was perfect on a hot sunny day.
