Can you elaborate on this, please? I see from the Red Boat web site that 40 degrees indicates the quantity of Nitrogen, which they say correlates to umami flavor. However, "degree" is not usually a quantity measurement in my book, except for angular measurements including latitude and longitude. When I search on "degrees of Nitrogen" I get information about freezing and boiling points, which isn't helpful in this case.

Apparently in the fish sauce world, °N is the unit representing grams/liter of nitrogen so 40 °N would be 40 g/l nitrogen
I've always believed and been taught that degree count refers more to the protein content and than to do with nitrogen.
