Red Boat 40°N First-Press Fish Sauce – Pure Umami, No Additives

Unleash Deep Umami with Red Boat 40°N

Experience the unmatched flavor of Red Boat 40°N First‑Press Fish Sauce—crafted using only two ingredients: wild‑caught black anchovies and sea salt. Aged for over one year in traditional wooden barrels on Phú Quốc Island, this premium Vietnamese condiment delivers bold, clean, and authentic umami—no preservatives, MSG, or additives lurking in the bottle

Why it's extraordinary

40°N high nitrogen grade means an exceptional protein level—twice that of typical fish sauces—offering a bolder, more balanced umami flavor that mellows saltiness and enhances depth

Named among the world’s finest—praised by Food & Wine, America’s Test Kitchen, and Bloomberg, who lauded its “tantalizing funk like that of Iberico ham or Parmesan.” Even celebrity chefs have hailed it as a game-changer in modern kitchens

Culinary versatility at its best

Use it:

Neat over seafood like roasted salmon, scallops, or halibut

Stirred into sautéed greens, matched with lemon or enhanced in compound butter

As liquid umami in marinades, stews, dressings, dipping sauces (perfect with lime, palm sugar, and Kampot pepper)

As a secret ingredient in Asian, fusion, or elevated Western dishes—add depth without heaviness.
