Red Boat Umami Salt | Salt infused with premium fish sauce | All Natural Handcrafted Seasoning | Keto, Paleo, & Whole 30 friendly | Gluten and sugar free with no preservatives | 8.8 oz bag

I've purchased numerous versions of flavored salt over the years (smoked, ghost pepper, etc.). I figured this would be salt with a subtle umami flavor of anchovy. Dude. This stuff is pretty much fish sauce concentrate. Like if you boiled fish sauce until just a powder remained (maybe that's what they do). Absolutely no complaints. Just be ready for an overwhelming fishy smell when you open the bag. I've used it several times when I want the fish sauce flavor but don't want to add liquid. I got the desired effect when used VERY sparingly. I think this bag will last me the rest of my life.

Smells like, well, butt. Tastes amazing. For the record, I don't eat butt. Easy to use too much, but feels like never enough. I use it before braising beef and on pizza. Can't get enough.

I have been using more and more fish sauce in different recipes, and wanted to make. My own dry spice to shake on things, or to make dipping sauce out of. This is great! Red boat is one of my favorites, and is probably the top quality fish sauce easily available in the US, so you know this is good quality.Of course, it's strong, so be wise.

It really has a taste all it's own. I have used it only a few times but find it's a blessing to perk up the taste of hamburger and sausage patties. It's a concentrated fish sauce in powder form.

I am a saltaholic, I have about 30 different types of salt in my pantry. I can tell you my favorites if you would like, but about this salt, I see Amazon now is out of it and does not know when they will get it back in. But this is one of my top favorite salts. The Umami flavor that comes from this salt is incredible, some people find it stinky I don’t I think it’s amazing and I use it for everything. If you can get it by it, it will blow you away. If you find it stinky hold your nose put a little bit and whatever you’re cooking and you will smile and happiness at the flavor. if you can get it by it, it will blow you away. If you find it stinky hold your nose put a little bit and whatever you’re cooking and you will smile and happiness at the flavor. if you cannot find this try another umami flavor and called “Takii”, I do believe it’s available on Amazon and it’s based off of dried shiitake mushrooms and salt.

If you are into spices, condiments and herbs and are an experimental cook, you will appreciate the versatility of this salt. I am sprinkling it hither snd yon, sparingly, with excellent results. The key is to be fearless and disregard what could be off putting: it’s aroma. A little bit is great on Florentine steak, just go easy. Walk the fine line of culinary excellence with confidence and hide what you are doing from children and meat-and-potato guests.

Not same flavourful as I order directly from fishboat company I'm not sure about this product

Since I'm ma big user of Red Boat Fish Sauce, this wasn't a new flavor. Just a different package. I found out the hard way not mot use as a dry brine. My first use was dry brining a steak overnight as my usual prep for steaks, or any meat for that matter. The result? Too salty which was due to the fine granules. Since then I continue to dry brine overnight but with course kosher salt. And I use Red Boat salt at the table for any dish that requires a bit of refinement. Just a pinch is all that's necessary. Taste? Virtually the same as the fish sauce-great!! I continue to use sparingly mainly because the fine grains. Great stuff!!
