Yep, the Missus wanted to get one more visit in before the weather got too hot for Suan Cai Soup….so here's a quick post, cause it's kinda too hot for me to be sitting in front of the PC right now!
Fish With You has become a favorite of the Missus since they opened back in April. Over time, we've settled on the Signature Suancai & Fish…..
And just split a large order ($26.95).
Sour-puckery suan cai, tender snakehead, the peppers aren't overwhelming….but as I noted before, if you've got leftovers to take home; remove those chilies before packing it unless you want a nice "spice bomb" when you heat it up, you'll come across a peppercorn once in a while. It's a fairly hearty dish with that suan-tian-ku-la-xian thing pairs well with rice.
And on this day, they nice young folks that work here gave us some Bingfen ("Ice Jelly") for dessert.
So refreshing!
With the upcoming hot weather, we'll put Fish With You on the sidelines for a bit….but will make sure to return once things cool off!

I'm wondering if you've been able to check this place out and if so; what your thoughts were?
I finally got to try that sauerkraut fish. It was a tad too sour for me. Though combined with the chilies my sinuses were cleared
I only went to this place because you recommended it, Kirk! My wife and I love it, but have a hard time finding anything for picky daughter. That said, the sauerkraut fish is a favorite. It’s so darn tart and sour (like Som Tommy says) that I feel its like a challenge to eat!
Going to try the Suan Cai on the next visit for sure.
**Signature Suan Cai on the next visit is what I meant to say. We’ve been going with the Golden or Green Szechuan to date!
Glad you got to try this place out ST! I think you’d enjoy it more when the weather gets cooler!
I do like the Green Peppercorn version Dave! Glad you liked what you’ve tried here and hopefully you’ll come across something your daughter enjoys! Thanks for letting me know what you think about Fish With You.
glad you got your fixes in before it got too hot!
Yes, and just in time as we’re going thru a heat wave right now Kat!
Hi Kirk,
With the new format, I don’t find the “leave a reply” bar at the bottom of the review, but when I clicked a link to this place on your Nov. 21, 2025 piece, it brought me here and voila!, there it is. Is something wrong with my browser or ?
I don’t think anything is wrong with your browser ALNC…..it’s a brand new world for me too. You can click on the title line of the post to comment or click on the recent post link in the sidebar. I’m trying to figure out a way to make things easier; but since I didn’t want to start from scratch using HTML; I’m using a theme which has it’s limitations. Thanks for taking the time out to comment; I appreciate it!
” You can click on the title line of the post to comment”
That worked–thanks!
Thanks for reading all these years ALNC! Glad that worked!
