Vegetarian: Substitute for Fish Sauce?!
Vegetarian: Substitute for Fish Sauce?
Hello, I'm a beginner vegetarian who would like to know what sauce could substitute crab sauce/fish sauce in cooking? My mom always uses that stuff in her cooking and I really don't want to eat anything that deals with it- not unless that stuff is vegetarian :)
I was thinking of soy sauce, but the taste is a bit too different from fish sauce.
Thank you in advance for your help!
(note: not sauces used to eat with fish and crabs. I'm talking about the fish sauce that you could purchase in asian supermarkets, kind of like soy sauce) :)

I use vegetarian fish sauce.

I buy it at an Asian vegetarian store called Layonna in Oakland, CA. Oh, here, they have their own online store now.=)

I've never had real fish sauce but whenever an Asian dish is a bit bland, the veg version works well to change that.
