Many years ago we used to get a wonderful fish sauce. It was a lighter
orange colored tomato based sauce that was hot, but not out of control.
Wonderful full rich flavor too. It was "Shark" brand and came in a
bottle like a wine bottle and had a cartoon shark on the label. I used
it for years then I moved away from the store where I used to get it. I
have never been able to find it since. We (me and my kids) used it on
everything. None of the so called fish sauce I find now is anything like
it.
