Red Boat Fish Sauce is a renowned brand based in Hayward, CA, that offers the purest fish sauce on Earth. The brand was founded by Cuong Pham, an ex-Apple engineer who wanted to recreate the flavors of his childhood in Saigon. Unable to find the intensely fragrant first-press fish sauce he remembered, Cuong decided to make it himself.

He partnered with expert fishermen and expanded a small, family-run facility on the tropical island of Phú Quốc, known for producing the world's best fish sauces. Today, Red Boat Fish Sauce follows a time-honored fermentation tradition, using only black anchovies caught off the crystal clear waters of Phú Quốc. The fish sauce is fermented in large wooden barrels for 12 months to achieve a clean, natural umami flavor.

Red Boat bottles only the first press fish sauce, ensuring unparalleled purity and a classic dark amber color. With no additives, preservatives, or flavor enhancers, Red Boat Fish Sauce is a testament to their commitment to quality ingredients and traditional craftsmanship
