Fish Sauce Evangelist: Vietnamese Gangs, Viet Restaurants During Covid - Rảnh#7 Son Fish Sauce

Growing up in Philly in the 90's as a nerd or geek was definitely a blessing for me. Gangs didn't want me. All I did was go to school, come home, watch weekday afternoon cartoons of Looney Toons and the WB...follow by Married with Children, Family Matters and Full House....thank god for TV for putting me into Asian Pride gangs...

Great interview! Learned so much!

Danny is right, the real fish sauce ingredients are simply anchovy and sea salt. I was a fisherman living in Nha Trang VN back in the day. We made fish sauce by adding anchovy and sea salt and leave it in the barrel for one year before taste it. The first state that come out is usually a good one it call (nước mắm nhỉ).

Great interview Kyle! Thank you Danny for educating us about fish sauce! Learned so much from this. Kyle this is awesome, keep doing what you do!!!

Oh damn thanks Son and Kyle. Dude I never knew fish sauce that we have here in the US is fake. I’m definitely going to look in to buying real natural resource. I will be looking for sons for sauce in the supermarket from now on.

kyle you should interview your parents for this series!

Very informative! Thank you, Danny and Kyle for a great lesson in fish sauce.

Wow what a great interview! I learnt so much from Danny. I’ve grown up with the squid brand but after this interview I’m telling my whole family (extended family included) about making the switch to Danny’s brand or try any other authentic fish sauce proudly made from Vietnam. Just like he said, we need to have something great for Vietnam, our country. This also inspired me to share this and talk to restaurant owners and chefs at my local and fav Vietnamese restaurants. Thank you for producing great content Kyle 🙏🏼

Very interesting fish sauce information/story, i didn't know there was a differents. Im gonna check stores here in Australia and let my mum know. Hope i find it at my local stores to try out.

Thank you Danny for bringing us the real thing

Thank you Danny for the education about the fish sauce after 47 yrs.

I’ll be buying Sonfishsauce. Thanks for educating us.

Great interview, learn alot and able to bring back memories 👍

Am I correct that Red Boat is the brand?

Nice haircut, does it come in mens?

As a foodie, this was a great discussion. But I wish there was another foodie interview a restauranteur/food merchant lol sorry Kyle

I found it on Amazon.

I stopped buying squid brand because it was so cheap. I read my current fish sauce and it has anchovy extract as well as fructose and is made in Hong Kong. They cheated using the Phu Quoc name but they're not from Vietnam. I have bought Red Boat which is a premium fish sauce and saltier so you can use less of it. I didn't like the design of their bottle. After I poured it from the bottle, more would spill out and I'd have to clean it or it would smell. I'll have to search for Son's fish sauce. Great guest Kyle!
