We're already out taste testing the new additions to the Boston Food Truck scene. Last Thursday, we tried the Cod Squad Truck from Captain Marden's Seafood. Their haddock sandwich was a hit! We'll do a full report once we've tasted a few more items.
Keep an eye on the Cod Squad Truck specials board. We had a fun Twitter conversation with the truck crew this week. If you see "Penny's Special," it will be their version of Rhode Island style clam chowder and clam cakes.
It might be the clear chowder we have told you about in the past or the red chowder that was served at all the shore dinner halls and amusement parks. That is sometimes called Rocky Point Clam Chowder. The clam cakes are fritters containing pieces of clams that you can dip in the chowder.
Either Rhode Island Chowder should qualify for the trucks healthy option. The clam cakes will have to count as your weekly cheat if you're watching what you eat.
Once the season gets rolling, this spot on Belvidere Street (map) near the Christian Science fountain should be a destination with up to 4 trucks at a time, convenient seating, and the entertainment of watching people play with the fountain. (More fountain fun at Water Attracts)
Update 04.09.13: Correction! There will be 3 trucks at Belvidere Street. It is site #4 not 4 trucks. Thanks to Steven from Hub Food Trucks for explaining that #4 on the city's schedule to me!
