[quote=Anonymous]I think I've seen it at the Foggy Bottom Whole Foods, but it's like $15/bottle, I think? I remember thinking it was too rich for my blood.

Honestly, DH is Vietnamese and I use fish sauce literally all the time. I usually just get whatever doesn't have MSG or hydrolyzed yeast extract (a fancy word for MSG!) in the ingredients. I used to get this great fish sauce from H-Mart that was imported from Phu Quoc island in Vietnam (that is the #1 place for fish sauce in the world), but they no longer carry it (just a bunch of knockoffs that are really from Thailand but say they are from Phu Quoc!).

I have been getting Megachef lately because, even though it has some added sugar, most SE Asian recipes call for sugar anyway, so I just cut the sugar from the recipe. It's a decent brand and it's only like $3/bottle. I've tried a lot of fish sauce for a white lady, and I think some of the reviews of fish sauce are not very good (lots of reviews highly rate sauces with HYE and that stuff tastes gross and artificial to me).
