Amid a changing Fisherman's Wharf, this SF food truck remains a bargain
"If you find yourself in need of a seafood recommendation in Fisherman's Wharf, chances are you'll be directed to the Codmother Fish & Chips food truck, where a humble, affordable basket of battered fried fish will instantly win you over. For nearly 15 years, the popular San Francisco food truck has been a favorite among tourists and locals alike, who make a point to stop by its permanent location at the corner of Jones and Beach streets for a basket of classic fish-and-chips."
"During its busiest season, between July and August, British-founded the Codmother can crank out 1,200 orders per week, according to co-owner Ilana Teles. "I hear a lot of British people say, 'Oh, I heard you guys have good fish-and-chips here, I didn't know it was excellent,'" said Teles, who co-owns the business with her son, Gabriel Teles. Teles shared that most of her customers are international visitors from France, Spain or the United Kingdom who learn about the Codmother through travel books"
"Fisherman's Wharf might finally be having its moment. After debilitating pandemic-recovery years that provoked the closure of multiple historical businesses, a flurry of new food and drink spots have planted roots at the waterfront, including Santa Cruz-born Humble Sea Brewing and all-you-can-eat spectacle Fire + Ice, both at Pier 39. In June, the Port of San Francisco announced the approval of a $10 million project to demolish the nearly century-old Alioto's, which closed in 2022, in order to develop"
Codmother Fish & Chips operates a permanent food truck at the corner of Jones and Beach streets in Fisherman's Wharf, serving affordable, battered fried fish and classic fish-and-chips. The British-founded truck has operated for nearly 15 years and can produce about 1,200 orders per week during peak July–August season. Co-owner Ilana Teles and her son Gabriel run the business and report many international customers from France, Spain and the United Kingdom who learn about the truck through travel books and online reviews. Bay Area locals favor the truck for generous portions and inexpensive menu options. Fisherman's Wharf shows signs of recovery with new waterfront food and drink openings and a $10 million Port approval related to the former Alioto's site.
