Hello friends and Maangchi,
I am planning to make Makkimchi and Kkakduki (?) with Maangchi’s recipes on this coming Friday.
I have two kinds of fish sauces.
One is Kkanary fish sauce made in Korea, and the other is anchovy fish sauce made in Vietnam.
What kind of fish sauce do you recommend to use Makkimchi?
Or is it OK to mix them? Because the anchovy sauce is much bigger then the Kkanary sauce..Thank you!

The best is Redboat40n but its rather pricey for making kmichi. Fish sauce is made from anchovies.
I like these for cheaper options
MegaChef Premium fish sauce in the brown bottle if you can get it. (Thailand) http://www.megachefsauce.com/products_detail.aspx?id=2
Chungjung One fish sauce from Korea. This is a surprisingly good cheap and natural fish sauce. They have 2 kinds so check ingredients. This one if just anchovy, salt and water.

Maangchi did a three-part video series on shopping in a Korean Market. It is very informative! Her favorite fish sauce has a drawing of 3 Crabs in a triangle on the label. It is excellent and reasonable. Check out her shopping videos! Here’s a link:

3 Crabs is a very low end fish sauce.
Ingredients
Anchovy, extract, water, salt, fructose, hydrolysed wheat protein. - June 10, 2019 at 11:57 am #82466MattWilsonerParticipant
