Three Crabs Fish Sauce 24 oz - Professional Nuoc Mam

Three Crabs Fish Sauce (Viet Huong) is widely considered the gold standard among professional chefs and Southeast Asian home cooks for its refined, balanced flavor. Unlike lower-grade fish sauces that can be overly pungent or salty, Three Crabs is processed through a meticulous filtration method that results in a lighter, "first-press" style liquid. This produces a clean umami profile with a subtle sweetness that enhances dishes without dominating them.

As a Canadian supplier based in Calgary, Alberta, we provide this essential 24 oz bottle to help you achieve authentic Vietnamese and Thai flavor profiles. Whether you are crafting a traditional Nuoc Cham dipping sauce or seasoning a rich Thai curry, Three Crabs provides the consistent salinity and depth required for high-end culinary results. We offer fast shipping across Canada to keep your pantry stocked with the industry's most respected fish sauce.

BEST FOR: Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauces, Pad Thai, Green and Red Curries, Marinades for Grilled Meats, Ramen Broth Seasoning, and Caesar Dressing.

ALLERGEN NOTE: CONTAINS FISH (ANCHOVY). PRODUCED IN A FACILITY THAT HANDLES VARIOUS ASIAN CONDIMENTS.

WHY IT WORKS

• Superior Filtration Process: Undergoes an extensive refining process that removes heavy sediments, resulting in a clearer liquid and a smoother, less aggressive aroma.

• Balanced Salinity: Formulated with a touch of sugar and hydrolyzed wheat protein to provide a "round" flavor that doesn't have the harsh salty bite of budget alternatives.

• Pure Anchovy Extract: Derived from high-quality anchovies to provide a deep, natural umami backbone that acts as a flavor multiplier for other ingredients.

• Versatile Consistency: Its light body allows it to dissolve instantly into cold dressings and hot broths alike, ensuring even distribution of flavor.

• Non-Overpowering Aroma: While it maintains the characteristic scent of traditional fish sauce, it is notably more delicate, making it easier to use in fusion and Western cooking.

• Industry Standard: Frequently cited by top culinary publications and professional chefs as the most reliable fish sauce for achieving "restaurant-quality" results at home.

USE CASES

• Authentic Vietnamese Bistros: Used as the primary base for Nuoc Mam Cham, the ubiquitous dipping sauce served with spring rolls, vermicelli bowls, and grilled pork.

• Thai Fusion Kitchens: Performs exceptionally well in Pad Thai and Som Tum (Papaya Salad), providing the essential salty-funk that balances lime juice and palm sugar.

• Modern Western Gastronomy: Solves the problem of "flat" savory dishes; a small splash acts as a "secret ingredient" in bolognese, stews, and even Caesar dressings.

• High-Volume Catering: Ideal for large-scale production of Asian-inspired marinades and dressings where a consistent, high-quality flavor profile is required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Three Crabs Fish Sauce the same as Thai Fish Sauce? While produced in Thailand, it is crafted to follow the Vietnamese style (Nuoc Mam), which is generally lighter and more refined than many traditional Thai brands.

Does this product need to be refrigerated? No. Due to its high salt content, it is shelf-stable. However, keeping it in a cool, dark place prevents the color from darkening and maintains the freshest flavor.

Is Three Crabs Fish Sauce gluten-free? Most versions contain hydrolyzed wheat protein as a flavor balancer. If you have a strict Celiac requirement, we recommend checking the specific label or opting for a 100% wheat-free brand.

Can I use this as a substitute for salt? Absolutely. Many chefs use it as a liquid salt substitute because it provides the same seasoning effect while adding significant umami depth.

Why is there salt crystallization at the bottom? This is a natural occurrence in high-quality fish sauce and does not affect the safety or flavor of the product.
