Red Boat Umami Salt | Salt infused with premium fish sauce | All Natural Handcrafted Seasoning | Keto, Paleo, & Whole 30 friendly | Gluten and sugar free with no preservatives | (8.8 Oz)

Heard about Red Boat salt on one of the cooking blogs I read. Wish I had known about it years ago. It makes everything I use it on more deeply flavored and complex. It truly is instant umami for veggies, meats, eggs, etc. The fishy smell is a little off-putting when you first open the bag. But don't let that deter you. I promise it won't taste like that when you cook with it. Also, it was delivered a day earlier than promised. I'm a customer of this product for life.

I am a saltaholic, I have about 30 different types of salt in my pantry. I can tell you my favorites if you would like, but about this salt, I see Amazon now is out of it and does not know when they will get it back in. But this is one of my top favorite salts. The Umami flavor that comes from this salt is incredible, some people find it stinky I don’t I think it’s amazing and I use it for everything. If you can get it by it, it will blow you away. If you find it stinky hold your nose put a little bit and whatever you’re cooking and you will smile and happiness at the flavor. if you can get it by it, it will blow you away. If you find it stinky hold your nose put a little bit and whatever you’re cooking and you will smile and happiness at the flavor. if you cannot find this try another umami flavor and called “Takii”, I do believe it’s available on Amazon and it’s based off of dried shiitake mushrooms and salt.

Just give it a try, it really elevates the flavors in each meal with just a little bit.

Smells like, well, butt. Tastes amazing. For the record, I don't eat butt. Easy to use too much, but feels like never enough. I use it before braising beef and on pizza. Can't get enough.

This is a good salt for Asian food preparation. It has a deep flavor, not too "salty" that adds background flavor to your meal.

This is a fantastic product, and I recommend you give it a try. Unlike some other reviewers, I don't find it any "saltier" than any other salt, but it's strength is in the umami boost it gives. It's proven fantastic on grilled asparagus and sweet corn, as well as on a decadent version of cheesy hash browns with over easy eggs. It's a bit ripe, however, and you'll want to keep the bag closed when not in use (not a problem, as it comes in heavy duty ziplock bags.) I'll be buying more to give as gifts to friends who enjoy cooking.

I bought this because I had read a blog about it. The blog warned that it smelled really bad… and they weren’t kidding! It stinks! It makes everything taste so very good, though. I have been practicing using it on almost everything – and I can taste an improvement on pretty much everything I use it on. I don’t know how something that stinks so bad can make things taste so good – but it totally does! A word of advice – apply it before cooking, not after. The stink is gone after the food is cooked. My supply is rapidly dwindling, and I will absolutely buy more when it is gone.

If you are into spices, condiments and herbs and are an experimental cook, you will appreciate the versatility of this salt. I am sprinkling it hither snd yon, sparingly, with excellent results. The key is to be fearless and disregard what could be off putting: it’s aroma. A little bit is great on Florentine steak, just go easy. Walk the fine line of culinary excellence with confidence and hide what you are doing from children and meat-and-potato guests.
