Red Boat Premium Fish Sauce, 500 ml (17 oz.)

On découvre avec la sauce red boat qu'il y a sauce nuoc mama et sauce nuoc mam ! Celle-ci n'a que le goût du poisson salé, c est délicieux, pas écœurant du tout, et bonus : c est bon pour la santé puisqu'il n'y a aucun additif, contrairement aux sauces bas de gamme du commerce. Certes le prix est nettement plus élevé, mais comme le goût est pur, une cuillère à café suffit pour tout un plat pour 4 personnes. Donc finalement, c est plus économique. Je recommande cet article, qui tient toutes ses promesses.

I grew up on Southeast Asian cuisine such as Vietnamese, Thai and Khmer food so having fish sauce was a must. This sauce was very pleasant to cook with. It reminds me of Squid Brand fish sauce but just in a trendier package. I cooked shrimp with onions and tomatoes with this, along with some stir fried dark meat chicken with basic veggies and the flavor matched what memory serves. The render chicken schmaltz along with black pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce and this fish sauce made a wonderful sauce to suspend that stir fry in. Over pillowy white rice and it was heavenly. Don't get me going on the shrimp dish, it's a southeast Asian classic and Tomatoes and Onions cooked with soy/oyster/fish sauce is a hard hitting home cooked meal. Even my wife, who is Austrian American, loves this fish sauce. But then again she loves stinky cheeses and all that funky stuff also so she's probably not the common barometer for it :). If you haven't used fish sauce before, it's a great flavor enhancer and umami bomb. The smells pretty potent but it cooks out and it really adds a punch to your dish. Even the late Anthony Bourdain suggest people who normally wouldn't use it to add it into things like their stuffing for Thanksgiving. Some of the best Guacomole some of my friends and guest of the family had was at a July 4th party where my sister used a little fish sauce with your normal Pico, Lime, and Avocado and people couldn't stop eating it. I think this Red Boat Fish sauce is a good one to get to try Fish Sauce out.

The product itself looks superb and I've no doubt I will be very pleased once I start to use. (currently got a supermarket one on the go) Why am I reviewing now? - partly to say what the ingredients are: anchovies and salt. No added sugar and no shellfish (Important for me as I'm allergic to some of them). Bought 21 April 2016, expiry date 12 Nov 2018, so plenty of time to use. Size: 17 fl oz, or 525ml, rather than the 500ml advertised (I'm not complaining). Reviewing the packing in a review of the product is frowned on but this is such a difficult product to post that packing virtually becomes as important as the product itself - I bought solely because it was being sent by Amazon UK so I knew outer packing would be good; the seller was an Alabama company called Friday 515 who presumably are responsible for the inner packing: bottle well sealed, placed in a sealed plastic bag, (so any spillage would have been contained), triple taped bubble wrapping, all inserted in a heavy duty well fitting box. Perfect. I think it is going to be well worth what I paid. Edit: I'm allergic to shellfish, but not all. I 'tested' (ate a small amount!) of anchovy prior to using regularly and I'm OK no reaction. If you are allergic to shellfish you may or may not be allergic to anchovies. Edit: Now using, high quality, not sure its going to last me as long as I thought, as I'm finding it a useful addition to several types of meals. Yet to try in scrambled eggs! Its not as fishy smelling as other reviews led me to believe and there is no fishy taste in any completed meals.

Todavia no se bien como usarlo, sabe MUY salado y MUUY a pescado 😵 pero buscaré en que usarlo
