Nasty Fish Sauce??

a reply to: YouSir

LOLOL!!

Your house might capsize before you get halfway!

I use the Squid brand myself.

And the word you're looking for is "umami", or savory.

You're right, but I hate that word.

Feel like I need to go put on my Birkenstocks and go shopping for a mini-van every time I hear it!!

Reminds me of

MuFASA!!"

2 or 3 dashes in Bloody Mary pushes it towards the heavens.

Maybe tomorrow even!

I would think you might have detected a bit of jest in my OP.

I love the stuff! Heck, I bathe in it...I wear it for cologne, erm...eau de toilette

haha damn it, I've lost my sarctacles lately, I have to squint to see it, these days.



My bad

Squid brand is what I have also. Good to know it's a thing over there.

and with this stuff, a little goes a long way.

Used to get the 750ml bottles, but can only find the 350ml ones now. they closed down the asian market I used to go to and nowI have to rely on the asian section of woolies or coles.

I'm insanely jealous of my sister, who lives within range of Denver. There is a huge Asian grocery store there, which has everything you could ever want for Asian cuisine - H Mart, I think.

She took me there once. I remember being floored when I saw durian!

There's also a place called Pacific.

3 day old gumbo...brings back them lovin' memories.

Red Boat is hard to find. We have a huge Asian market here (like ginormous) and they don't have it.

The only place I've been able to find it here in the US is on Amazon.

ETA - It's imported from Vietnam

Just got back from local international market to pick up a nice boneless rib roast (they have some of the best tasting beef in the county, and at the best price, too!).

Found Red Boat fish sauce, $8.99USD for 17fl oz.

I know, pics or it didn’t happen, but I can’t figure out how to upload the pic I took!

I admit to tech ineptitude!

H-Mart is an awesome place! Every time I go to the city we try to make a stop there. It's almost overwhelming all the stuff they have there!

Also the secret sauce in Worcestershire sauce.

Worcestershire Sauce is supposedly based on an Indian formula.

alternate story is that its based on old Roman sauce (garum? liquanem?) made from fermented fish.
the story is that some obscure corners of England continued to make the stuff after the Romans left
and in the 19th century it came back to light.

don't know if true but great story.
