Great little seafood food truck that parks right by the covered benches right on the bay. Good views, good food and a good lemonade. The fish is fresh and have non-seafood options for those who prefer. Sizeable quantities!

Fresh fish, right off the boat! Or opt to pick up a delicious lunch from the affiliated food truck, sit by the water and listen to the music. Today there was a steel drum musician! We had the fish (fresh grilled halibut) tacos and a kobe beef cheeseburger with bacon. Bring your own adult beverage or favorite drink to wash it all down. Amazing way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Check their website for days and times. (Usually open Friday through Sunday, 10am to 6pm.)

Perfect food truck right at the port. The food is very fresh and the view of the bay is beautiful here. You eat right outside with the picnic tables they have setup. The port is quiet and well maintained. I can’t wait to go back again soon to try more stuff on their menu. Fish n chips were to die for! Very lightly breaded and so flaky!

Really tasty fish and chips! Fish was juicy with a light batter. Fries were crispy and the tartar sauce was unique (in a good way.) The coleslaw was bland, but overall I enjoyed it. Plenty of food for two people to share, which makes the price ($16) a little more bearable. Lots of setting by the water, definitely check this food truck out!

This is a wonderful, hidden gem! Beautiful weather, felt like a mini vaca, overlooking the bay! Oh ya, the food! Spot on. They have the recipe down. Delicious, crispy and fresh. No need to travel to the coast! Definitely try the shrimp tacos and fresh lemonade!

Oh, goodness! Best fish and chips I've had in years! Light and crisp, fresh fish and delicious flavors. The sauce is to die for too. I was so excited to see the number of people waiting in line for both the food truck and the fresh off the boat seafood. What a crew! If you're in luck, you'll also catch some steel drum live music. Definitely worth a visit and the wait.

The hallmark of Pioneer Seafoods is their iconic Fish and Chips.
