listen to this man, SW! i've been using VN fish
sauce from Phu Quoc only in the last 5 years or so.
the bottle isn't big, probably .5L and it costs
even more than most other brands [1L bottles] from
VN and other countries. i just like the taste and
smell of VN fish sauce, the same way i like Japanese
shoyu more than all Chinese soy sauces.

besides, i had the most fantastic 8 days on Phu
Quoc island. didn't even know about the tsunami
while sunbathing on an empty beach every day! a
shame that this place is so eager to ruin itself the
way Koh Samui did.
