I use the 'three crabs' brand fish sauce because it has more flavor to it, while the 'squid' and the 'five fish' brand fish sauce is mainly used for cooking (stew, braising, soup) for the saltiness. All are very inexpensive in your local Asian grocery markets.

It says it will form crystals in the cold. Maybe fish crystals would work for that dessert, Barbara! My plastic bottle (ahem) actually advises against refrigeration.

I'll have to give Golden Boy a try next time I hit Vietnam Plaza in Carrolton Tx. One thing I've always wondered. Is it shelf stable after opening, like Worcestershire, or do you need to keep it in the fridge? I have just to be on the safe side.

My family is from Thailand and I can only imagine how confusing it must be for someone who didn't grow up using it. My mother uses Tiparos or Squid brand for cooking and Three Crabs for all other uses. I use Golden Boy for everything. This is a great post on fish sauce!

I use Tra Chang at home also (on recommendation from Kasma: http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/brands.html) and I'm curious too to hear what you think of it, so I hope you'll do a followup article when you try it. By the way, other articles like this one on the different brands of one pantry staple you've tried (with recommendations) would be greatly appreciated. Maybe one on soy sauce? (If there isn't one already in the archives.) Thanks for the article!
