Catch something new for dinner. Alaskan fishermen bring fish and chips to Tri-Cities

Catch something new for dinner this week when two Alaskan fishermen brings a fish and chips food truck to Tri-Cities.

Captain Cod’s Company will be making a return trip to Richland on Thursday, March 4.

Baz Lloyd and Shaun Andrew the owners of the Wenatchee-based food truck started Captain’s Cod last spring in the Wenatchee area after decades of fishing in Alaska’s Bering Sea.

They quickly expanded to travel around Central Washington and will be coming to Tri-Cities several times in March.

Their limited menu does not limit flavor. All their fish is line caught by crews working for them on their own boats — Alaska Leader Fisheries — making it direct from sea to table.

Andrew remains the captain of the ecofriendly Northern Leader, one of the four boats the company owns.

Captain’s Cod truck features a cod fish and chips basket for $12.50. For a couple of extra dollars, they offer a gluten-free fish and chips with a rice flour recipe, which is fried in separate fryer.

Also on the menu are cod sandwiches, cod fritters and fritter kids meals. You can buy the fish a la carte for $10 if you want to skip the fries.

A small basket of fish fritters and fries is offered as a kids meal at Captain’s Cod Company. The traveling food truck is making stops in Kennewick and Richland later this month. It features dishes made with fish that come directly from the owners boats that troll the Bering Sea in Alaska.

The microbrewery that operates on a converted Pasco farm has been open only once a week for to-go growlers since November because of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
