Nor’easter Concessions

Conflicted. The lobster salad is a generous service, with a spot-​on ratio of mayo, green stuff and lobster. For being a million miles away from fresh lobster, this roll is as good as it gets, save for one thing. And that one thing is crucial.
Hot dog buns don’t do service to your lobster rolls. Here are my two options:
–Reduce the serving size of the salad on the hot dog bun to prevent it from dropping out of the bun with a price reduction –or–
–Source some authentic buns.
I hope you investigate option two.

Visited Nor’easter while out for the Mission Reach dedication at Padre Park. Reader beware, I’m a little biased since I’m from New England a LONG time ago and I’ve gotta give props to my homies.
Lobster rolls were delicious, albeit a little skimpy on the lobster, and according to wifey (I didn’t feel it), heavy on the lettuce. Pricing was on point and the order also came with sides. To die for mac ‘n cheese for me; coleslaw for the missus.
Missus asks to PLEASE serve coleslaw in a separate container ‘cuz it seeps into the sandwich unless you eat fast.
This is a great addition to the SA Food truck scene. We usually hike to Austin for our fresh lobster roll fix and we like heading up there because Austin has its charms, but when you’re in SA and need your lobster fix stat, head Nor’east! It’s a Perfect Storm.

The Nor’easter food truck blew in to the Port of San Antonio leaving this survivor wishing that storm had missed the port and struck elsewhere.
Did I anger Poseidon or something? Is that why he gave me «fish n’ chips» that resemble no other fish n’ chips in the world? I’m not sure why these guys would create a product that is completely foreign to what everyone has grown to expect.
First, the fish itself was OK. I mean, really, it’s hard to screw up a piece of white fish. Unfortunately, that’s when the Nor’easter went south. It’s accepted globally that fish n’ chips is a piece or pieces of white fish (Halibut, Cod, etc.) dipped in some type of batter, preferably a beer batter, and deep fried. This, however, was a piece of white fish sandwiched between 2 rectangular pieces of I don’t know what. It certainly wasn’t fried and it WAS completely unremarkable. Luckily for me, they served it up with 2 small cups of tartar sauce. And, just FYI, when they say chips, they literally mean chips, as in potato chips. Come on… Everyone knows that when you sell fish n’ chips, the «chips» are English chips, AKA fries!
My buddy ate the shrimp roll. Now, let me preface by saying that he is from Boston. A true Pilgrim if there ever was one. Anyway, he downed his shrimp roll and actually enjoyed it. He stated that they didn’t skimp on the shrimp and it had a nice spice to it. He did not like the bun though. He remarked that it was too much like a hotdog bun. So, that’s something to hang your hat on; an actual New Englander giving the shrimp roll a decent review.
Each week Tuesday through Thursday, 3 food trucks show up at the Port of San Antonio. It’s great to be able to try out the various trucks and I truly wish all of them the best of luck.
