hottyscotty Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I was having Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle) today and saw a bottle of fish sauce. Fish Sauce - A popular cooking ingredient amongst Asians, particularly the Vietnamese. Stinks like...err...fish. But tasty in food. As i was waiting, an idea came through. Don't know why it took me now to think about it and i have bottles of this stuff at home. But would it work if i squirt a few drops into my SP packet? I'm sure someone must have tried like trying cheese for bream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigholio Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thai shrimp paste works a treat. It's like concentrated essence of manky prawn, yum yum! Cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightmanager Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Fish Sauce is fermented Anchovies !! Good idea , throw half a bottle in with the burley pellets , and hang on !! Cheap as chips at Woolies , or your local Asian Providore !! Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorado 2 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have used the fish sauce and squid sauce often but not on sp's generally I pour some in the burly bucket every so often. I too discovered it while my wife was cooking, (Singapore) and saw the potential of using it as an attractant, now whether this has contributed to a better catch or not is debatable but it certainly hasn't hurt our catch rate.

hottyscotty Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 would you say its the same or better than tuna oil into the berley mix? i hate it tuna oil, it stinks and you can smell it for the rest of the day even if you spill one drop!

Fish sauce is way funkier, like a rancid smell yet curiously arousing to the taste buds. Not oily so should wash down OK if spilled. Shrimp paste is oily & funky but makes a nice slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
