Remember that phase you went through as a kid when you added ketchup to everything on a plate? Later you might have moved on to tabasco, and maybe even Sriracha. Well clear some fridge space, because there's a new condiment primed to take over.
It's Red Boat Fish Sauce, and it's like bottled umami. Made from only anchovies and salt, it's extremely versatile: add it to a marinade, shake it over scrambled eggs, try it with a burrito. The deep, savory flavor mixes well with any dish, sweet or spicy.
Obscure Asian condiment no longer -- Red Boat fish sauce is coming to a grocery aisle near you.
