As an adjunct to the Fish Sauce topic, here are three books specifically dealing with fish sauce and recipes using that.


First up, The Red Boat Fish Sauce Cookbook (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by the makers of Vietnam's finest nước mắm.

Then a general selection of 50 recipes using fish sauces from around the world: The Fish Sauce Cookbook (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by Victoria Meewes.

And finally, The Story of Garum (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by Sally Grainger for the history and background.

Of the three, I've only read the last, so can't vouch for any recipes. Anyone?

I don't know about the cookbooks, but Phu Quoc is on our short list of winter travel destinations.  Visiting a few fish sauce producers is a priority for that trip!

I'm told the Red Boat factory visit is worth the visit. Unfortunately, it was closed when I was there.

Thanks - it won't be for about 2 years - we're already booked for our vacation this coming winter.  Prior to our trip, I was planning to contact the companies I wanted to visit - I didn't want to just show up, especially at that time of year.
