Finally got a bottle of Red Boat 40N! Excited to try.
Wife's Vietnamese friend constantly gives us food she makes. Delicious, but she's not there to explain ... I figured out the dipping sauce, and hit the local Asian market.
First fish sauce I got was Golden Boy. It was the stuff, but it did have the musty funk critics mention. They liked Three Crabs, but other reviewers smashed the stuff. It's an improvement over Golden Boy (whose label was good for a howl at work).
Fish-sauce critics DO approve of Red Boat, and I finally remembered the brand and scored some. It's loved. "Like seared fish," one said. Sign me up!
Anyone want to share uses/recipes for fish sauce? Dipping, of course; steak marinade I will try. Don't drink Bloody Marys ... fish sauce works *almost* anywhere soy sauce does .... almost.
