The Fish Peddlers LA

I sent my husband up to the Friday night out on Magnolia Blvd in Burbank and told him to get me dinner. He returned with the Crab nachos and lobster mac n cheese from Fish Peddlers and a couple more choices. No contest-​the first taste of the lobster mac n cheese and I totally fell in love. The crab nachos were good but not very smoky, and a little light on the toppings. I will, however, search out this truck and try everything else. Fantastic find!

Found these guys at the Sunset Strip Farmers Market. Had the Tempura Shrimp Tacos and Lobster Mac’n’cheese. Ridiculously good. The shrimp was perfectly battered and came with a Jalapeño sauce that blew my mind. The lobster mac was really good, enjoyed the Swiss based cheese sauce. Will try their «Smokey Crab Nachos» next!

I had a meeting at the Big Foot Lounge, which happens from time to time, and when it was over, I had had a few beers and no dinner. But the Fish Peddlers truck was outside, so I thought I would give it a shot. They had a lobster mac n cheese on the menu, and I am a bit of a sucker for that, so I had to try it.
The portion was ok for the price considering there was lobster on it, but I would say that if there wasn’t any lobster that I would have expected more. Over all I was not blown away by it at all. There was no cheese sauce of any kind that I could tell, just a starchy/​creamy semi flavorless ooze that the noodles were in, and there was corn in it, which was an unpleasant surprise. The lobster had a good flavor, but it was shredded like tune from a can and spread on top of the pile of noodles, so it got cold fast and some would fall out of the cardboard serving vessel.
I dont know what the other things on the menu are and are like, so I cant say for that. But I think that they got the recipe wrong on this one, and it does not instill confidence in me.
What people want: rich creamy super cheesy sauce, and chunks of lobster. Make it better than anyone and you’ve got a winner. This is not a difficult recipe, so there is no reason to try to play master chef with such a simple setup, and unwanted surprises like corn are a no no. If you are going to surprise me, try using a fine cheese shredded on top and a blow torch to melt/​crisp up the top of it. I don’t see anyone doing that, and I would like that a thousand times more than corn.
