My "Squid Brand Fish Sauce (contains no squid)" has an aroma, but I wouldn't say it had a stink factor.Well. If I ever considered eating fish sauce, I definitely don't anymore. Stink factor? Ewwww lol

DW; remember, stink doesn't always mean "bad" in the cullinary vocabulary. Many cheeses fall into the category, stinky cheese, and yet are loved by people all over the world. The same is true of so many things we eat. Onions and garlic are both considered stinky. And yet, when used properly, they add wonderful flavor to the dishes made with them.
I have had and used Poisson sauce (French fish sauce, don't know if I spelled it right). When the bottle was opened, I thought it was one of the more rank odors I'd smelled. When used in the recipe for which it was intended, it was great. I tried it in something else, and added a little to much, and it was terrible.
So, when someone refers to the stink factor of a food, or seasoning, be aware that they may be referring to something that had great potential, when used correctly.
And I know you were being light-hearted in your comments. But I just wanted you to know.

We kinda dropped this thread...
I want to make some kimchi that my vegetarian and vegan friends can eat (planning a do either over Boxing Day weekend or New Year's Day). Of course I use fish sauce. I was looking at this recipe tonight and was thinking I could also add some Dulse. Any thoughts?

What "colour" of miso--brown, white, or red?
Where are our vegetarian/vegan DCers when we need them! Larry--where are you!

Well, Larry, I'm totally jealous! (Not about your fish sauce knowlege, about seeing such great musicians!)
When I was an exchange student in Germany, I say Cat Stevens in Bremen........loved him!Actually Im in Boston, at the moment. Just saw Cat Stevens ( Yusuf Islam) in concert and Bob Seger ( and The J Geils Band at Mohegan Sun on Saturday).
But anyway , unfortunately, even when I did eat meat, I never ever tried seafood, so I have absolutely no idea what Fish Sauce tastes like. I did try to make it once from some recipe ( cause I was making a recipe that called for it ) I remember the recipe calling for seaweed and something mushroom related, so it probably was similar to the link that was posted. But , Im not sure how close it actually tastes to fish sauce.
Sorry for not being too helpful
