I should have known better than to come to this new local North Plains food pod location…read more(post-fireworks) on a Friday, July 5th afternoon lol. Because out of the four usual pods that are here, only SlackTide was open!!! Yippee!!! I finally get to try them too!!! Yippee Skippy!!! Here's my order: ~ Again, this was my first time trying this pod, so I went BIG. I ordered their best item, the $28 Captian's Platter. This consisted of two pieces of fish, in which lingcod was the "featured fish." Three pieces of fresh scallops. And three pieces of fresh shrimp. First of all, I was warned by the owner Brian that lingcod is a thinner fish. But being an avid angler, I was familiar with how big or long lingcod can get. I will admit the fish pieces were somewhat small, but I was warned. I had to get that deep-fried, forearm sized "British fish-n-chips in a newspaper" thought out of my head. The breading, however, was crispy good! The breading stayed on the fish as well. Another plus in my book! As for the scallops and shrimp, oh boy these were just as tasty, dipped in the cocktail sauce or tartar. Squeeze a lil' lemon, add a lil' salt, and mmm mmm!!! The good thing was, after eating that platter, I didn't have that greasy guilty feeling. Oh wait, there's more... ~ Who wants CHOWDAH?!?!?! MAAAAN, I've been up and down the Pacific coast and damn, SlackTide sells some good competition worthy chowder! Why? Because with each spoonful scoop, it had clam with every bite. The base was just right, not too thin, not too thick. It just tasted amazing to me, and thank goodness it wasn't overwhelmed by big potato filler pieces. I only sampled the 10oz cup for $8, but now I know next time to try it in a bread bowl. Welp, that's just about it regarding SlackTide. Call me a fan! Some may think its a bit pricey, but the seafood was cooked fresh on the spot, and EVERY bite was just pure blliss! I had a great talk with the owner Brian about how he manages to do this part-time on the weekends. Man, much props! Fish only stays fresh for so long, so understandable with the short hours. But I'm all about supporting locals. FIVE Star-fish for these guys!!!

I didn't know there were food trucks out here. Luckily I spotted them in the way to a car show. I…read morehad the Fish & Chips (Lingcod was the catch of the day) and it was excellent. The fish was very fresh, nice seasoned cornmeal breading and perfectly cooked. The fries were equally good. Although next time I'd like to try the clam chowder as the side. The tartar sauce was as good as the rest of the meal.

Let me save you some time here…read more The four- and five-star reviews: People who've actually lived in cities, navigated establishments where English may be a secondary language, and often hunt for gems like this one. The three- and four-star reviews: Scared little suburbanites who don't often tread beyond the bright lights and king's English of their supermarket chain, don't know what they're looking for, and don't know how to handle the product once they have it. We've passed Hillsboro Seafood Market on several occasions and had it recommended to us by staff at restaurants like La Mixteca and Pepper's, but also at the fish counters at the Orenco New Seasons and the Imbrie Freddy's. See, if it isn't shrimp or salmon or wholesale crab legs or something that doesn't move in any large amount, your pristine little supermarket seafood counter isn't going to carry it. Oregon Seafood Market does not have this issue. We were in the market for Dungeness and mussels, which shouldn't be as difficult to find here as they are, and went right to Hillsboro Seafood Market. Every time I'm in here, I think of the markets back in Jersey City, Bayonne, Newark, Elizabeth, and Queens and how the fainting flowers of Washington County likely gasp when they walk in here--the lights aren't daylight-bright, the shelves are from the '70s and stacked with everything you could possibly need for a boil, the freezers are in the center of the floor and clearly source from all over to ensure that customers from El Chino to Syun Izakaya get what they need. In back, the iced bins hold the day's catch of oysters, clams and mussels. Saltwater tanks store not only dozens of Dungeness crab, but the occasional lobster. We picked out a Dungeness, grabbed a few dozen mussels, and had a great conversation about the differences in preparing East Coast blue crabs (which they get from a fish market in Hell'/s Kitchen) and Dungeness. She suggested I ditch the Old Bay for a homemade sofrito and it was the best idea I'd heard from a fishmonger outside of South Beach or Astoria. I'm glad to see that more recent visitors understand exactly what they have here, as their supply, price, and knowledge are unsurpassed in this corner of Washington County. I can't recommend them enough, and humbly suggest that if you're going to live in Hillsboro and tell everyone you're living in a growing, diverse city, you should perhaps take advantage of some of the benefits.

Friendly, but there is a slight language barrier. With a little patience, you'll be happy.read more

Their lobster, king crab legs, headless shrimp, and clams are always fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor that you choose. I always get the garlic butter. My second favorite is Cajun mild spicy. The clams is super meaty and I find myself gobbling that as soon I dive in. I've been here like more than 6 times already and it never disappoints. The servers are also welcoming and check in with me. Eating this can be messy so they will give you gloves, plastic bibs, and hand wipes. Bathroom in the back are clean too. I would highly recommend for a fun seafood boil night.

The seafood combo came in a bag and everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I got the butter garlic favor and oh man, it was full of butter and garlic but not overpowering.

We got the tapsilog as well, with a side order of red hot dogs. The tapa wasn't quite the same texture as traditional tapa. Halo halo was yummy! The star of the show are their bbq skewers (not pictured). The taste is very traditional and brings nostalgia from Filipino parties. I would come back specifically for their bbq skewers! Food is made to order so it took a while but it's fresh and warm to enjoy.

The fish…read moreand chips were outstanding--perfectly crispy on the outside, flaky and fresh on the inside, and cooked to perfection. The clam chowder was hands down the most flavorful I've ever had, rich, creamy, and packed with clams in every bite. What makes this place even better is that the quality far exceeds what you'd expect from a food truck. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and every bite was packed with flavor. If you're a fan of seafood, this is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back for more.

The potato sidewinders are delicious--fluffy with perfectly crunchy outside. My only issue was that the cod pieces are so tiny!! I have never had such small pieces of fish with fish and chips! I see so w photos here with much larger pieces, others that are similar. Would be nice to know what you are going to get That being said, everything was well seasoned, I will try it again for the garlic honey and soft shell crab special. Service was very friendly and cheerful. My Yelp scale: 5 stars: Excellent, there is nothing I can think of to make it better 4 stars: really good, but a few things would make it better 3 stars: not bad, but I wouldn't go there again 2 stars: do not recommend 1 star: this place should be shut down

Help me with the update, Google said that it's permanently closed but is it?…read more Server: there was one person serving and she was busy but was still thoughtful and kind. Food: 1. Seafood pancake $20. TBH, it's more like squid pancake as that's the only seafood haha however when eating it fresh it was delicious and the batter was light. There was a good amount of green onions too which I love. Since my mom can't do spicy compared with me she provided soy sauce but I also got their spicy sauce it was fine (with a tiny dip). 2. Steamed dumplings (around $15) were good as it was piping hot and it was packed full of meat. TBH, all the foods we had didn't really need the additional sauce as both of the appetizers were flavorful enough!

It was just ok, I was excited to try but it was a bit of a letdown. Lady server was stingy (could…read morenot try other ppl's drinks, no banchan refills for 5 ppl, had exactly 5 pieces of potatoes) and did not check up on us throughout the meal, she was too busy on the phone. This would be ok in another situation, but we were changed a 20% gratuity for party of 5+. It also took long for the food to come out even though restaurant was pretty empty. Food was pretty good but did not like the Deulkkae Gamjatang (perilla leaf and pork neck bone soup), it was difficult to get any pork off the bone and it tasted like beans and flaxseed ( somewhat gritty) and was not smooth like regular soup. However other dishes were pretty good and large enough so that all 5 of us could share 3 dishes. Would come back but only to try other dishes and with a smaller party.

Food: We ordered 2 lunch sets that's available M-F. 1. California roll: it's made with real crab meat and they gave a hearty amount of it 2. Salmon roll: made with fresh salmon and thick cuts but the downside was that the rice was very warm which made everything inside warm. Having warm raw salmon didn't sit well with me 3. Tempura and sashimi set. The sashimi was fine, not warm so that was good! There were three kinds of fish, too. The tempura was nice and good portions. The downside was the salad dressing and the dipping sauce for the tempura: it was extra salty for me that I couldn't finish my salad. I started dabbing a bit of the sauce with the tempura though I personally would like to have it more saucy but it was too salty. Overall, it was okay. Just the warmth of the raw fish and the extra salty sauces were personally concerning.
