Red Boat Fish Sauce, Phamily Reserve | Premium 50°N fish sauce sustainably made with just two ingredients in Vietnam | Higher Protein For Exceptional Flavor | Gluten and sugar free, no preservatives | 8.45 fl oz.

Perfect for adding umami to a sauce. Last night I used it in a beef-mushroom sauce for steak. On teaspoonful seriously enhanced the flavor and sophistication of the sauce. Red Boat has a useful cookbook of recipes that teaches you how to use the sauce, if you're not familiar with it.

Love love this fish sauce. The flavor it adds to my cooking is amazing and rich. Yes, it smells strong. But that is a natural product. It turns into magic in whatever I add it to in my cooking.

Dangerously delicious.

Elite fish sauce — richer, saltier, more complex; worth the premium.

There's only one problem with this sauce. The regular version is just as good and you get a bigger bottle for the same price. Don't get me wrong, this is the brand I always buy because it's the best on the market (I would buy this version every time if it wasn't for the regular stuff). But, the upgraded family reserve isn't any better than the regular stuff IMHO. If you want to compare between this version and the regular... This version is a bit less "fishy". It is slightly more unctuous, smoother, not so much in your face. It is wonderful as a flavoring, but stays a bit in the background, whereas the normal version is a bit more in your face flavor-wise.

Top-rated; arrived in perfect condition; will enhance the umami flavor of my cooking.

We like it a lot. A little goes a long way or it can be overpowering depending on what it is added to. Add it to soups, homemade salad dressing, gumbo, etc. but just a drop or two for salad dressing.

I love this brand. Ive only ever tried the stuff available in local stores and this is better flavored and not as fishy smelling. More umami and less “distinctly fishy smelling”
