zestandherbsMemberI switched from Blue Dragon to Squid brand Thai fish sauce to using Chung Jung One’s Korean anchovy sauce after I got some as a gift. It has a sweeter flavour compared to Squid and doesn’t have as strong a smell (smell of the kimchi has also been a bit milder too). I’ve never used 3 Crabs so I can’t compare directly though.
Chung Jung One comes (plastic bottle with a blue and gold label) is the only Korean brand I’ve been able to even find in the UK. It’s also the same brand as the commercial kimchi I sometimes buy and does give a similar flavour.
zestandherbsMemberThanks for your help, Maangchi! There’s next to no fresh yuzu in the UK either but the juice is getting much easier to find now in supermarkets as well as Asian stores and online. Lots of the top chefs have started using it in Europe recently so there’s a big demand now – they’re trying to grow yuzu in Spain to make the fresh fruit more available.
I’ve read that Korean yuja gets sold to Japan because it’s seen as a better quality. I suppose it’s like how wine from different countries can taste totally different, even when it’s made from the same variety of grape!
