Coquitlam’s New Must-Try: The Lucky Fish Pot

I was just planning to grab groceries after work… until I spotted The Lucky Fish Pot , a new Sichuan-style fish soup spot in Coquitlam. And let’s be real—who can resist a steaming hot pot of suancaiyu ? Spoiler: I drank the entire bowl of broth. 🌶️ What We Ordered 1️⃣ Sichuan Pickled Fish Soup (Single Serving, Medium Spicy with Green Peppercorn) • Fish: Super tender, no mushiness, generous slices. • Broth: Milky-white, not oily, but deceptively spicy—the heat sneaks up on you sip by sip. • Rice Choice: Northeast Chinese or Thai jasmine (I went with Northeast—perfect texture for soaking up soup). 2️⃣ Deep-Fried Skewers • Must-tries: Cauliflower, tofu, and crispy starch sausage—tasted just like schoolyard street food from back home. • Surprise MVP: The mild yellow dipping sauce (looked boring but was secretly amazing). 3️⃣ Northeast-Style “La Pi” Cold Noodles (Bonus Order!) • Why? I was curious… and it was shockingly good! Chewy noodles with crunchy fried peas and balanced seasoning. 👶 Family-Friendly Perks ✅ Can make everything non-spicy (great for kids!). ✅ Portions are fair—two single-serve soups + sides filled us up. 🍹 Missed But Next Time… Their taro pearl milk tea and brown sugar matcha sounded intriguing—but we were too stuffed. (Excuse to return!) 📍 The Verdict ✅ Broth is light yet flavorful—no heavy oil slick. ✅ Nostalgic fried skewers hit the spot. ✅ Friendly for all spice tolerances. Minor Note: The space is small—go early or takeout to avoid waits. 📍 The Lucky Fish Pot #CoquitlamEats #SichuanFood #ComfortFood
