nuoc mam premium Estra Virgin Finest Fish Sauce Phu Quoc 500ml

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.

The best fish sauce I've tasted.

Wow, this stuff is in a different league. First pressing and you can tell. Intense fishy taste, very different from the less expensive sauce. Four times the price of the standard fish sauce, but money very well spent

You can tell by smelling and tasting it straight up - it is by far got a lot of umami than the typical cheaper brands. The only downside really is... it's quite expensive. But for quality, and the extra work people have put in to make this product, I think it's worth it. I would use it in dipping sauces as that's where you'll get to taste it the most. If you're making Tom Yum Soup and you have a lot of flavours going on anyway (e.g. using shrimp heads to make stock) I think it would be sensible to just use the cheaper versions to give it that thai fish sauce kick.

Great taste!

A really good sauce and a big bottle that makes it good value for money

I love fish sauce... Any fish sauce.Even the cheap ass stuff. This is undoubtedly a good one. Is it with it for the money? For me.. well maybe. I'd probably buy a mid price one because let's be honest this is expensive! BUT.. my husband.. Who HATES fish sauce with a passion.... (he can detect a molecule of the stuff at 5,000 meters).... loves this stuff!! It's like a miracle. All of a sudden I can make all the Dips I want and chuck it in cooking as seasoning! Today is a good day! Basically it's fish sauce with all the umami but almost no "funk". Highley recommended for fish sauce haters everywhere! I'm ordering another bottle!

The ingredients are clean but I'm not sure flavour wise if I love it compares to other brands

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.

Buen producto

Kaufgrund: Gekauft, weil wir Fischsauce regelmäßig nutzen und über die Jahre viele Marken ausprobiert haben. Für meine Mutter, für meine Frau und für mich ist das die leckerste Fischsauce. Nutzungsdauer: Seit Juli 2025 regelmäßig im Einsatz Qualität & Zusammensetzung: Die Red Boat Fischsauce besteht ausschließlich aus Sardellen (80 %) und Salz. Der hohe Sardellenanteil und die reduzierte Zutatenliste sorgen für einen klaren, intensiven Geschmack. Praxiserfahrung: Wir nutzen Fischsauce häufig beim kochen von vietnamesischen, thailändischen und anderen südostasiatischen Gerichten. Aufgrund des höheren Preises verwenden wir die Red Boat Fischsauce vor allem, wenn sie ungekocht verarbeitet wird, z. B. Dipsaucen, Nachwürzen in Nudelsuppen. Für reine Kochen greifen wir auch öfters zu anderen Fischsaucen, die geschmacklich anders, aber ebenfalls sehr gut und günstiger sind. Positiv: -Sehr intensiver, ausgewogener Geschmack -Hoher Sardellenanteil (80 %) -Sehr natürlich, keine Zusatzstoffe außer Salz -Ideal für Dips und zum Nachwürzen Negativ: - Höherer Preis (wegen der Qualität aber vollkommen gerechtfertigt) Geeignet für: -Alle, die Wert auf Qualität, Natürlichkeit und Geschmack legen. -Besonders für Gerichte/Dips, bei denen die Fischsauce ungekocht verwendet wird. Eher nicht geeignet für: -Käufer, die große Mengen ausschließlich zum Kochen benötigen. -Sehr preisbewusste Nutzer, aber auch diese Preisbewussten sollten es mindestens einmal probiert haben um den Unterschied zu schmecken. Fazit: Für uns eine außergewöhnlich hochwertige Fischsauce. Wir kaufen sie regelmäßig nach und verschenken sie auch gerne. Der höhere Preis ist angesichts der Qualität absolut gerechtfertigt

It's like anchovy essence in a bottle. Extraordinary flavor. I bought this for a Vietnamese salad dressing, it was recommended by Milk Street magazine. It's a winner. They say that there is a version of this particular sauce called BLiS, it is more aged and even more flavorful - truly the king of fish sauces, but I do not know where to buy it in Canada.
