I just made Serious Eats All-American Beef Stew earlier today, and they call for anchovies (which I had none, so I substituted fish sauce) as the umami bomb. But even for folks who get grossed out by little fish, it gets blended with chicken stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (and gelatin), to create the base. Fish sauce has become a staple in my house for certain recipes, itâs great.

The real secret to the most delicious sauces youâve ever tasted is one anchovy fillet turned into paste and simmered into the sauce, for every litre/quart of sauce you are making.

Itâs why the Romans didnât use salt as a condiment, but fish sauce. The umami+salt is different and objectively better.
