I use fish sauce fairly often when making Faux-Thai. The cool thing about it, just like adding anchovies to a pasta sauce, is that it pretty much disappears into and enhances the sauce.

Exactly. Just another flavorful way to add salt. And all those folks who say they hate anchovies seem to really like my red sauce!  :chuckle:

My best friend growing up is Italian and Thai and his Thai mother would scold me for using Kikkoman soy sauce and not fish sauce. She also said anything with carrots was not authentic Asian Cuisine. She was old school and hard core. Her and her friends would go up to Colville and pick roots to pickle for snacking on while they played Pai Gow! Salsify and what-not...     Didn't we have a thread on here about Worcestershire sauce?

I'm with her on the Kikkoman!
I started using light soy sauce (not to be confused with low sodium) and it's way better. I use Pearl River Bridge, and I agree with P-Man on the Red Boat fish sauce.

I’ve seen it (and smelled it) being made in Korea.

I believe that you just mix anchovies and salt in a fermenting vat and let that “stew” for 12 to 18 months.  Then press the liquid out.

Seems like a lot could go wrong with that process; I wouldn’t recommend DIY fish sauce.

Sounds like the making of Worcestershire sauce.

Ah, that's a different animal. Filipino fish sauce was my first foray into the world of fish sauce. Saltier and less fishy, but still yummy. If you haven't already, try a Vietnamese sauce like Red Boat, as Pianoman suggested. I need to pick up a bottle of Filipino sauce soon as it's been a long time.

Nope. Try not to eat food from countries that possibly eat dogs.  :o

The usual Thai food you get in the U.S. is not scary mystery meat. It’s usually fresh stir fried, chicken, beef, fish, vegetable, curry/coconut/fish sauce, herbs and maybe a lot of spice if you want. I find U.S. type Thai food very refreshing, I love it.

Thai food is the bomb, lots of it around the North Sound area.

Ha! Usually the food threads don't go off the rails.

But Angry Perch is about to make a very good point, Worcestershire sauce uses fermented fish in it. Worcestershire is a very common ingredient in British/American dishes. So, chances are, we've all eaten something with some sort of fermented fish in it.

Also the Romans made fish sauce for a long long time, but they called it garum.
