Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I made the fish sauce from the NT recipe. It looked really awful sitting there on the counter for three days, but the resulting liquid was not unpleasant. I used it to make the NT ketchup recipe which was such a big hit that I have run out of fish sauce and will be making more this weekend. Amy Waters fermented fish sauce has anyone tried fermented fish sauce ever ? we didn't have whey so we used some successful beet kvass to culture it. i have never tasted a real fish sauce and nor do i know how a successful batch of fish sauce is supposed to taste and smell like. now it looks like a jar of purple, fishy water...with some smell... bonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I made the fish sauce, but let it sit in the fridge for about 10 days before making the ketchup with it. She says the fish sauce is supposed to only be good for a few weeks in the fridge. Does that mean I only have a few days to eat my ketchup?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Wow i missed that. Guess mine is okay we ate up the first batch of ketchup with 2 week old fish sauce and the second batch is half gone made with 2 month old fish sauce. Oh well nobody is sick or complaining so I guess we will just keep eating it.

It smells just like " Alaskan fish fertilizer " , which has warning labels not to eat it (it is " live " ) .... but when we had a dog indoors, the dog would always eat the dirt if it had fish fertilizer on it, so it must have been really tastey! -- Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I personally love the fish sauce, of course it is full of garlic and spices. It is fishy but then I like CLO. I put fish sauce in salad dressing and on eggs. Amy Re: fermented fish sauce >Wow i missed that.

Isn't the ketchup fermented a second time? I imagine the ketchup lasts more or less indefinitely like other fermented products.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 hmm, i think it's been there for three days. so i think i can throw away the fish pieces and strain the liquid (or not? )and refrigerate it ? do i keep the lemon rinds and all that ? bonny ps. wow i wanna make ketchup too !! > I made the fish sauce from the NT recipe.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I strained mine and put in fridge. The ketchup is even easier to make.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 My attempt at homemade fish sauce was a disaster, resulting in a seriously bad stink. Maybe Mike would have tried it. jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I don't know how long the ketchup will last. We ate up each batch in just under three weeks. Bye-bye Heinz.

Hmm, maybe when the 17-year Brood X hits this spring I can try a cicada variant of fermented fish sauce...
