It's more expensive, but worth every penny.Fish sauce brings umami to the dish. The cheaper brands bring a flavor that is far more fishy than umami-savory and, IMHO, can easily ruin dishes.40-degrees-north sauce is darker, packs in far more desirable flavor than cheaper alternatives, and won't impart an overwhelming fish flavor when used in appropriate moderation (most recipes call only for a few teaspoons or a single tablespoon). It melds so well with the other flavors in a dish, like the sweetness of palm sugar and the tartness of tamarind juice.

This is the BEST fish sauce out there. Such a clean flavor and nothing nefarious in the contents. Won’t use any other.

I'm a new convert to fish sauce, and quickly found a huge gap between good ($) fish sauce and bad fish sauce. This is the good one, and only one we buy now.

Good value for money, smells like fish sauce, and meets my quality expectations. Recommended by daughter that is excellent cook.

I used to buy cheap fish sauce in the supermarket but those have a bunch of ingredients with chemical names that I don't understand.This Red Boat one has only 2 simple ingredients: anchovy fish and salt. Its taste is authentic and perfect for cooking Vietnamese food. This is what fish sauce is supposed to be like.

I LOVE this fish sauce! If you want to add umami to your everyday meal, this fish sauce is it! Any dish that requires anchovies, like pasta, soups, caesar salad dressing, etc., I add a little splash of this fish sauce and it is umami heaven. The sauce is so versatile with incredible deep rich fish sauce flavor. Yum! It is made with anchovies, small fish, for those with certain restrictions. I switched to this fish sauce from another brand because of the anchovies at first, but the flavor is the part that really shines!

Unlike the cheap stuff you find on most store shelves, that slams you with salt and pungent flavor. This has a smoother and more well rounded flavor profile.When I cook something or make a dipping sauce that calls for fish sauce, I use this.I still keep a bottle of the cheap stuff for some things, like making Caesar dressing as it keeps far longer than anchovies.

The fish sauce was cloudy, had large amounts of sediment floating in it and came in a plastic bottle. Salt crystals forming in fish sauce are normal, chunky sediment is not. Cheap, poor quality fish sauce is often cloudy and comes in plastic bottles. Premium, $24 per bottle, fish sauce absolutely should not. Find a different seller who sells Red Boat in glass bottles.
