Re: fish sauce for fish?

Have you tried using dried anchovies to make broth? This is the base for most Korean soups and stews. It adds depth of flavor. I don’t really put actual fish in a stew unless it’s a fish stew, per se. But for something like tofu or kimchi stew, you just use the dried anchovy broth, rather than actually putting in big hunks of fish.

Hope this helps!
