Review: Smells like old piss, tastes like heaven - Gives me the same feeling I get when I hear an R Kelly song. Like I know I probably shouldn't enjoy it Jokes aside, I mixed this with a smoked salt for finishing/seasoning steaks and such and the aromas mixed perfectly. Will be buying again
Review: First impressions of Red Boat Salt - a few weeks ago I noticed this item and reading the description I saw that it appeared to be made in a similar process to a filipino fish paste called Bagoong. Both "Red Boat Salt" and "Bagooong" are byproducts in the manufacturing of Fish Sauce (Thai (Nam Pla)/Vietnamese (Nước Chấm) and Filipino Fish Sauce (Patis) are made with a similar process with some notable regional variations); the fish sauce itself comes from the clearish liquid at the top of the barrel after the solids have settled out. (after several months) - bagoong is a fish paste popular in some regions of the Philippines and comes from the lower part of the barrel where the solids (salt and solid bits of anchovies) settle. This Red Boat Fish Sauce also comes from the bottom of the barrel when making Red Boat Fish Sauce; They both get a ton of their flavor from the mix of pressed anchovies and salt. on first glance it's immediately obvious that this product ("Red Boat Salt") looks quite different from bagoong; bagoong is a darker paste while Red Boat Salt is dry and granular like salt crystals. I ended up buying some to compare and while they both have a similar distinctive smell; Bagoong tends to flood the room with that scent very quickly when you open the jar where Red Boat Salt has a similar smell but it doesn't carry as far and it's clearly more 'salty' than bagoong. I do think the 'fish flavor' is cleaner and more subtle in the Red Boat product. I think part of that is because it's dryer/dehydreated and also because Red Boat is a much higher quality fish sauce - exclusively made with fresh pressed anchovies (where most fish sauce uses a percentage of a previous batch in every barrel) just to compare the tastes I've made a few dishes that I normally make with Bagoong (Guisado, Kare Kare and Pakbet Ilocano); making them with Red Boat Salt instead; the results were good although it is notably more salty so I needed to compensate for that; aside from the saltiness I think the umami is richer and 'less fishy' (cleaner and more subtle); I can certainly tell that there is a taste difference but it's hard to describe specifically what it is; I really like the flavor but it is notably a different flavor from bagoong. that said: I've tried it in several other ways and really like the results; we've used it as a dry rub seasoning on steak and fish; used it to pickle a batch of daikon/carrot strips and used it in a 'seafood boil' (with crabs, shrimp, potatoes, corn, crawfish; used it on roasted potatoes and grilled brussel sprouts, asparagus and corn. will certainly buy more before this bag runs out.

## Features

- UMAMI SALT FOR MORE FLAVOR: This salt is infused with our famous fish sauce and adds a natural touch of umami to any dish with just a sprinkle. We dry the salt used to ferment Red Boat's Fish Sauce to make this flavor-packed salt.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it taste like fish sauce?**
A: It doesn’t taste of fish sauce. It’s got a salty top note with something funky beneath the surface.  Gives everything a nice savory flavor.

**Q: IS it gluten free?**
A: I apologize for the rude response you received to this question. Yes, it is gluten-free; the website says that the ingredients are only anchovies and sea salt, handled in an environment that processes fish. They use a dedicated facility to produce this salt. It is not shared or around anything that has wheat. Enjoy! This sounds delicious.

**Q: I live where it's hot and humid; should it be kept in the refrigerator?**
A: I live in the South. I don't refrigerate mine.

**Q: Is it kosher?**
A: We do not see a Kosher mark anywhere on the pacakge.

*by E***Y on March 23, 2026*

For recent travel overseas to a small town, I was looking to bring a jar of dry and or dehydrated ingredients with me to make chili oil crisp while on holiday. This was the perfect way to add salt and fish sauce umami to the recipe. It worked perfectly - once at location just heated some neutral oil to add to the dry ingredients in the jar to make chili-oil crisp. Will be looking for more ways to use this.
