Re: Culinary Conversations
I've been going through this fish sauce pretty fast.
I'm using it as a salt replacement.
No reason to refrigerate really.

Re: Culinary Conversations
If you don't use it quickly, it's a good idea to refrigerate, as the flavor will deteriorate. I also keep oyster sauce, and Chenkiang vinegar refrigerated - two other ingredients that will be ok if used within a few months, but won't keep like soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce at room temp.

But I'll refrigerate it.
I just wish I could get my hands on some garum that's supposed to be not as salty.

Re: Culinary Conversations
Did they have any disclaimers you have to sign, if buying them?

I could make a diluted fermented hot sauce with them with lime and sugar.
What could possibly go wrong.

Re: Culinary Conversations
Since I don't tolerate hot peppers much, I did get seed for the no heat habanero's and bishops hats, all the flavors but not the punishing heat. Pretty good, nice to be able to taste the other flavors there not masked by the burning.

Re: Culinary Conversations
It's really depressing going into our local HEB these days.
40 dollars for a ribeye steak.
Seriously.
That and they're aren't through with the remodeling.
No meat counter or anything to get meat cut.
I mean the place gets worse every time I go in.

Re: Culinary Conversations
I end up refrigerating al my sauces. We dont have A/C and i dont use them fast enough. Red Boat is my favorite fish sauce.

Re: Culinary Conversations
What was it the super deluxe?
I think it's 5% protein.
Mine is 4%. At a little over 6 dollars.

Re: Culinary Conversations
It is sure handy in a lot of dishes! It would take me a while to get through just that much though!
