Fish sauce alternative?
I am beginning to suspect fish sauce is like cilantro - you either love it or you hate it. I have made two Milk Street recipes that incorporate fish sauce (Grilled Cilantro-Lime Skirt Steak and Vietnamese Caramel Chicken). Two in my family loved the flavors and two felt like the fish sauce was overpowering; regardless, the fish sauce flavor is too pungent for the office. What suitable substitute can be used in place of fish sauce?

Hi Sarah - You can find some suggestions for substitutes for fish sauce in this conversation. I hope you find something that works well for your family! Best, Lynn C.
I sprung for some of the oak barrel aged stuff when y’all had it and it was worth it- it wasn’t fishy. I think fish sauce is like wine and some is fishier than others.
Thank you!
