Wow I tasted just like real fish sauce. I’m Vietnamese and I know my fish sauce. I made a fish sauce Nuoc Cham vinaigrette and another using vegan fish sauce and my husband couldn’t tell which one has real fish sauce.

Don’t know how they do it, but I’ve tried many fish sauce substitutes and this stuff is the most funky, fishy stuff I’ve ever been able to find. Very intense. Use sparingly. Heat it up when using it, like in a dipping sauce, prior to using it. Activates the flavor better. Worth the money if you’re honestly looking for a true fish sauce sub and won’t settle for “kinda fishy” replacements.

We use this product in our vegetarian/gluten free Tom Yum soup. They did a great job with this product because it adds the authentic aroma of a fish sauce to the Tom Yum that puts it over the edge as a great home made version of the delicious thai soup.
