OMG! I just got a bottle of red boat fish sauce and LOVE it!!! So I took my Dad and his Chinese wife to the local Asian grocery store and they do have Red Boat brand. His wife said dont get it "it smells bad" she said and my dad agreed with her. I told them "I trust Pai!" and got it anyway. Tried it today in my Thai omelet and the flavor is much more complex. It's my new favorite fish sauce. Thank you again Pai!!! 😁

My wife is Vietnamese and she borders on connoisseur and obsession with fish sauce. Oh yes theirs a bottle of 3 Crabs in our pantry right next to other types I can't read. She makes her nuk mam all the time. It was fish sauce and mam nem that made her think I was an OK guy since I've been eating them for a long time. That was twenty five years ago, guess I passed the test.

Wow! What a difference! My wife and I have been making your recipes for years and have been using the Lucky brand you showed (or something similar). We just bought the 3 crabs brand and it is so much better. Like a nice wine compared with vinegar. We are one of your Patreon members. Currently live in US and planning to retire in Thailand in a year or two. Actually heading to Bangkok for a week of eating in 3 weeks. Can't wait! Thanks for all your great advice and recipes. Everything we make tastes amazing and authentic.

I love how you showed us your recommendations and also took the time to explain your non-recommendations that we should steer clear of.

Very informative. Your vids always answer questions I didn't even think to ask. Anyway, great video, thanks Pai🌹

Fish sauce took my meatloaf to a whole other level. I use it whenever I can. Super helpful video.

I broke my rule and let a grocer pick a fish sauce for me yesterday before I did the research. He told me Squid brand was very popular. Then I got home and discovered almost everyone HATES it. Until you, lol. I was going to return it but the good Asian market where I bought it is 30 minutes away so for $2.50 I may just suck it up and keep it in the pantry but swing by Whole Foods for some Red Boat. It's not that I don't trust you (I'm new to you today) but rather that I DO trust America's Test Kitchen who has never steered me in a bad direction. Ultimately everyone's palate is different and SOMEONE must be buying Squid brand because it's everywhere. Thanks for the video!

The lady is a natural born teacher and an excellent communicator.

Fish sauce works in almost any soup. It makes a great dipping sauce. I add it to meatloaf. Vietnam got me addicted to it and Korea hooked me on kimchi.

Yea. I think, if a person didn't have any Worcestershire Sauce, they could use FISH SAUCE instead.......But, of course, they each have some different flavor tones, & with asian cooking, nothing can replace good FISH SAUCE!*

That pla ra is used in Ilocano (a Filipino subculture) dishes too. We call it boguong nga munamon. Boguong is a general term for fermented pastes and munamon is anchovies. We also have boguong nga aramang which is shrimp paste. My mom said that the pla ra is actually the paste at the bottom of the fish sauce before the fish sauce is extracted.

I made my own fish sauce, it took a whole year but so worth it. The extra virgin is use for simple sauce, the 50% is for seasoning.

Now thats realy a Video to learn something and I am glad you made it up for all people they are interested on. So thanks Pailin. You r running a great Channel. I am watching all your vids and I look foreward for your next one. Greetings from Germany.

Three Crabs is my favorite brand. I use it for everything!!!! They run for $4-5 a bottle here at the local Asian grocery store. LOVE IT!

Fantastic video! You're the best, Pai!

I love your FAQ videos! They always give a nice sidekick to the show!

I love these videos about fundamentals. Asian foods and ingredients are expensive, so it's nice to find a breakdown of what is and isn't worth spending money on, and what to look for. Thank you so much!

I love fish sauce I use it on lots of things. Fish sauce and Sriracha are staples for me since spending time in Vietnam.

I’ve been using fish sauce forever and still did not know half of the things I learned from this video. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your product reviews/discussions! I am learning from all your discussions and am so appreciative!

I just wanted to let you know your videos are and always will be amazing. I have made many of your dishes and am getting better each day. Thank you so much!

I use Red Boat when I cook steak. We found putting a ribeye steak on stove top, cast iron, and use Red Boat to keep the steak from drying out. The smell is not the greatest, but once it's on the table it is amazing! Very unique and delicious!

I am so happy that I found your video series! Started with palm sugar and then moved over to fish sauce. The red boat fish sauce has been recommended to me so that’s what I got when I needed more, and holy cow, such a difference. Glad to see that I need search no further because I’m already using the right one.

Awesome review of different fish sauce brands Pai! Thais and Filipinos really do share the same love for fish sauce or "patis". That "not" fish sauce you showed is also known in the Philippines as "bagoong" used in a lot of vegetable stews and soups, or as dipping sauce for green mangoes.

miss you pai, glad ur back!!!

What a delightful delivery of a very informative video session. You are not only a master chef but a master presenter also! Thank you for your wonderful spirit and beautiful smile!

Love this, you covered so much and it's not boring at all!

Just a little fun fact and/or tip: Look on the bottle and if you see the words "Nước Mắm Nhĩ" it's probably the best kind to use. Nước Mắm Nhĩ literally means "Dripping Fish Sauce" and it refers to the fact that the stuff inside the first batch of liquid oozes out of the fish fermentation tank, or first press like Pai says. Or you can also look for the words "Phú Quốc" and that's the name of the island where fish sauce is mainly produced in Vietnam and it has high quality. I use Red Boat fish sauce for marinate, dipping sauce, serve with steamed or pan-fried fish. It's the best brand I could find in N. American so far.

@Kiet Pham I really do appreciate you mentioned fish sauce from Phu Quoc Island! The best fish sauce comes from there! Many brands will say Nuoc Mam Phu Quoc on the bottle but in fact it’s not produced there (check the ingredients like Pai said and also the origin). Red Boat is really the best and closest one to the those made on the island.

Thanks Pai for lifting the lid on the mysteries of fish sauce. I always add a dash of fish sauce to my lamb or mutton stews, to give them another flavour dimension. It really improves the flavour of lamb and mutton. I used to add Gentleman's Relish or Patum Peperium, an English condiment also made from anchovies.The thick fish sauce in this video is more like I imagine garum to have been. Garum was a highly prized Roman condiment made from fermented anchovies, and many records of its trade exist today.

As a Korean, Kook Gan-Jang( it translates it " Soy sauce for special stock.) It is 100% made of Soy but it has the smell that is quite remarkably similar to fish sauce.

Bought the RED BOAT brand today and tasted it. I LOVE IT!!! WOW, it tastes bold, strong in a good way and seems saltier, though it has less SODIUM than THREE CRABS brand. Thank you for making this video about different brands of fish sauce. I always use THREE CRABS brand because it's the most popular and the RED BOAT ones are not displayed together on the shelf in stores. One vietnamese store in Honolulu Chinatown displays them on a shelf behind the Cashier for all premium products and priced for $8.99 for a 17-oz size bottle here 😄

Pailin. You make your show so enjoyable to watch. Honesty on your recommendation is appreciate on products

Red boat fish sauce and woman in the boat oyster sauce. Thank you so much for both of these. You’re awesome

I’m a new viewer and I love your videos even though I haven’t tried out your recipes yet. I’m so glad for this video cause I was super confused in the asian supermarket (in Australia) with like 10 brands of fish sauce. A lady told me to buy this random one made in HK but I decided to go for the red boat one as it’s made in vietnam and also it’s more expensive haha. Little did I know it was the right choice (as confirmed by your video)! Yay! But I will probably get a bottle of 3crabs or squid if I find myself using the fish sauce too quickly since I’m planning to follow a lot of your recipes 🤩

I use Sqiid and Three Crab brands. Love them both. So good on cucumbers and salads, and I use it in my rice instead of salt. Yes, just a glug, not a lot. Just enough to give a hint of flavor. Unless it's going into something sweet. It's my secret ingredient in every soup I make. I don't buy broth in a box any more. This has me covered. I'm Irish, I live alone, and I go through a bottle every 4-5 months. I use it in everything. Really good in barley. quinoa, spaghetti, noodles, sauces, stir fry. Yeah.

I bought a bottle of the stuff, and honestly I cannot stop using it in everything now. It's like salt and soy sauce but 100000 times better. more richer, more umami'd flavor. I am IN LOVE.

A wonderful concise tutorial on fish sauce. Thanks so much. I learned a lot.

Some asian guy at the store said squid was his moms favorite while i was looking at red boat. Glad you mentioned all three fish sauces that i have. Your the best.

WOW... i just someone stumbled upon your channel... subbed for your amazing commentary. Thankyou so much this is just gold.

Thanks for your marvelous analysis & guidance! No one could ask for anything more in a review of fish sauce.

Thanks! We use 3-crab fish sauce all the time in Korean food, including kimchi!

Thank you for this. I never understood why fish sauce varied so wildly in price. I use the Three Crabs. The first time I cooked with fish sauce my wife came into the kitchen and said "What's that awful smell?" It's been several years now so I think she is used to it. I made a pot roast in the slow cooker last week and just for fun I put in 2 tbls of fish sauce and a handful of chopped cilantro and she raved about how good it was. "Best ever!" I love your videos but I only cook Keto so I modify your recipes a lot.

Pai, you have yet to do a bad video, but this one is really superb. So informative, touching on so many aspects of fish sauce. You even explained the putrid grey sludge! And to finish off, glad you mentioned using fish sauce in non-thai foods. Personally, I use it in more things than I can count (I also like to taste it straight). For the last few years I've been partial to creepy-baby brand, but after watching I think I'll give Squid brand another go. Thanks for another great one!

I literally put fish sauce in so many things!! It bumps up the flavor without making it too salty as well if used in right amounts. I use it in barbeque sauce, pasta sauce, meatloaf, almost anything really lol. Last night i put some in beef stroganoff and it was delicious! I usually stick to the 3 crabs though i grew up with it and I prefer the taste compared to others I've tried. 😊

Using Nam Pla in Mediterranean cuisine is not as foreign as people may think. The ancient Greeks and Romans manufactured and widely used a type of fish sauce called Garum. It’s not widespread anymore but there is a town in Italy called Cetara that uses a sauce derived from ancient Garum called Colatura di Alici. Maybe you could sub the first press fish sauce for Colatura di Alici as it’s probably easier to track down.

This explanation was really helpful. Thank you!

jus't finished watching this vid!! i'm glad i've been using your top 2, woo woot!

I love using anchovies in Italian food, such as pasta sauces, but indeed, if I’m out of anchovies, fish sauce works incredibly well as a substitute that i always have on hand! (Mediterranean canned anchovies are also fermented, so it’s no coincidence that they taste very similar. In fact, there exists a traditional Italian fish sauce called “colatura di alici” that looks just like Asian fish sauce. It is, however, vastly more expensive.) Similarly, wasabi powder works well in a pinch when I need horseradish.

"fish sauce" is probably the oldest condiment/ flavor booster in the history of man. The pre-Romans and of course the Romans had liquamen, and it was right up there with gold as far as trading was concerned. I put in my chili, gumbo, dirty rice, almost every soup, beet dishes, etc. I reach for it before a salt shaker. I am also 100% Caucasian.

I have a bottle of "A Taste of Thai" brand fish sauce I got at my local rural US grocery store. Label claims to be made in Thailand, first press, extra virgin. It lists "Anchovy Fish, Sea Salt, Sugar, Water (natural water-no water added)" for ingredients. It only lists 2g of protein per serving, same as 3 crab. If you hold the bottle up to the light next to a bottle of 3 crab the color is very similar, maybe a touch deeper and "bourbon-y" (is bourbon-y even a word? lol). I don't have the most refined palate, but it does seem to taste a little richer than the 3 crab and it comes in a much smaller bottle (7oz) which may be more practical for western pantries. Still going to use the 3 crab up first, I want the bottle for home made teriyaki sauce, lol.

Came for the wok, stayed for the fish sauce. I ended up with a wok and was looking for advice and found your KZread videos. Before that I was ignoring fish sauce because it sounded unpleasant, but after watching your videos I tried it. Now I use it on chicken, burgers, soups, noodles, and more. Thank you

I usually use 3 crabs for cooking (soup, stir fry, grill..) and red boat for dipping sauce and salad dressing. Recently, I just found another brand of fish sauce called SON, and wow, it tastes kind of similar from red boat yet just half the price. I'm personally picky when it comes to fish sauce because I can't stand MSG which is included in many brands of fish sauce. And really, there is no substitute for fish sauce. I do make vegetarian fish sauce for my mom from pineapple, salt, soy sauce. But again, it cannot replace the fishy flavor from fish sauce.

Thanks for doing this.. I always wondered what was the best.

Very informative Pailin. I have never read the ingredient in those bottle. Now I will. Thanks for the info.

yesss. red boat is amazing. it definitely is better from other fish sauce brands by whole yard. our family hasn't used any other kind of fish sauce (or even soy sauce) since using it; it works for all kinds of dishes and many kinds of dipping sauces. my parents distribute it in my country from vietnam and it's great cause UNLIMITED FISH SAUCE HAHA

I viewed this video a while back and should have watched it again before shopping today. Just got back from tha Asian market where I needed to find fish sauce. I saw the Squid brand there but a customer told me that when she cooks, she uses the Three Crabs product ($4.89), so I got that one. The label does say to refrigerate after opening. Let me tell you, the fish sauce I had in my pantry was the first one reviewed, Lucky brand. I remember pouring some into a spoon and tasting it and yes, you're right, it just tasted like salty water. I am happy that you gave your seal of approval on Three Crabs. It's what's in my pantry (fridge) now. I might even grab up some Squid brand fish sauce the next time I go shopping and compare the two. Thank you, Pai, for an informative video for us Westerners.

I did multiple blind taste tests with my ex partner with five different fish sauces ranging from a $1 bottle to a $8 bottle of Red Boat (the n40). The Red Boat was her and my choice for the sweetest and most pleasant every time. The difference was obvious both in and out of sauces and it was easy to pick, even when dealing with multiple unlabelled bowls. I initially was using the $2 squid brand sauce, thinking $8 was just ridiculous, but this is one of those ingredients where a brand of product exists that makes a huge difference and earns its price. I’d suggest if you’re using a fish sauce just buy Red Boat if you can afford it and save your penny pinching and stressing for the other ingredients.

I chanced in on a similar blind taste test with 15 different brands of fish sauce about 10 years ago and it was a real eye opening experience. the difference in quality and flavor was staggering. i wish those types of comparisons were more common; there are a lot of ingredients I'd like to do blind comparisons of (like soy sauce, oyster sauce, curry pastes etc. - i use them so often but usually only have a single bottle at a time so it's hard to compare them)

I've been struggling to find good fish sauce in the US. I've been using the squid brand but it really doesn't compare to what I had at home. Thanks for showing the us the Red Boat brand, Pailin! I'll be looking for it now.

Hi. I just strolled into this channel cuz I needed a thai salad recipe, and you have me hooked. Let me just start by saying thanks a LOT for doing things properly! You really stand out among all the amateurs making cooking videos based on a "quick and easy" recipe they have copied from Jamie Oliver. I´m from Norway but have been using fish sauce EXTENSIVELY for many years. It truly is a magic ingredient. I have fallen down on altering between mostly two brands with diferent properties. 1: Squid brand, which I find to go well with with more delicate dishes, especially if they involve carbohydrates like grain flour or potatoes, for example thickened soups, and for marinating chickien breast or shrimp before frying. And then I have 2: Oyster brand (does not contain oysters btw) which I use for hartier dishes, like for boosting the beefyness a boeuf bourgignon, fortifying the taste of chicken or beef stock, and for bosting the "fishyness" of fish dishes where this is desireable. Do you have any experience with the Oyster Brand, and if so how would you rate it against the others. It seems to fulfill the requirements regarding the ingredients list. Also, just out of interest, what do Thai cooks think of David Thompson?

I use fish sauce in my spaghetti meat sauce! Have for years, it’s my secret ingredient!

There’s another brand called Megachef that’s a Thai brand that I get at my local Chinese market. It has really nice flavor and minimal ingredients too.

I'm originally from Mexico. Have been in the US most of my life. As a young boy my dad worked for Japanese farm owners and we lived in their property. They used to have us put water on top of stacks of anchovies that stunk so bad but it made very good fish sauce. My wife is Filipina and they use a fish sauce that has different kinds of fish. I use only Red Boat 40 that you showed. It is the best. I even incorporate some of that into "Ceviche" lemon cooked fish with veggies, not heat cooked. The fish sauce gives it a more delicious fishy flavor and adds salt. I love Red Boat fish sauce, yum!

So informative! Thank you P’ Pai x
