Ok. I suppose that would count as one of your fish servings for the week, but, would it be worth it?

I love Sushi, and a lot of different types of cooked fish, but Fermented fish?

Wine has a bouquet, but what would you call the smell off of this stuff?

Could have some neat names though.
Sushi Sidecar
Baracuda Beer
Mahi Mahi Martini
Brandy Bass
Trout Tom Collins

Blessed Brighid, I'm not sure I could even try that stuff.

MSG is the active ingredient for the fish sauce, which is basically fish & shrimp boiled until liquified and filter to remove non-liquified parts. All this means is that someone got bored and decided to ferment fish sauce.

Looks like you need a new category in your links section.

Yuck.

Theres a fermented fish sauce its commonly found in viet restaurants. If you dont think about what it is, its actually quite delicious.

You can say the same about Chicken Mcnuggets and Jack in the box Monster Tacos.

The Korean drink.

Is that Jack Spaniels that's served with dog?

I suppose it beats fermented blended puppies, but you'll have to ask Glenn.

Mmmm, fish wine - and after dinner you can have a dessert and a nice cup of civet dung coffee.

One word: Yuck!

Tequila is NOT made from cactus but from agave, which is in the lily family. It is actually a kind of succulent.

The very concept makes me want to run for the bowl. Ugh.

I'll stick with my Guinness. Thanks, though.

"Tequila is NOT made from cactus but from agave, which is in the lily family. It is actually a kind of succulent."

Steve may have been thinking of peyote, which has an, ummmm, entirely different effect than fermented agave. ;)

Oh, and I am firmly in the camp that holds that fermented anything should never, ever originate from Kingdom Animalia.

The Romans were awash in a sauce of fermented fish intestines, called liquamen. Upon learning this I abandoned my dream of someday becoming an ancient Roman.

I don't guess that kumis would be very popular with this crowd.

Fermented fish sauce is a staple in SE Asia (Thailand, Vietnam etc) and while it's an acquired taste, those (like me) who do acquire it can't do without it. But as great as it is, it's a savoury taste (it shouldn't be too salty) of the kind I can't imagine anyone liking in alcohol.

Caulk another one for liberals getting it totally wrong. I thought the wine was for the fish. They would swim around in it for a while and then you kill and sauté the fish.

This could give "Red Herring" a whole new name.....as martinis go that is!

How about some others:

"COD-el up to Me Martini"
"The Bad Bass Martini"
"CARP-A-Diem Martini"

That is too much, I cannot go on as I try desperately to see the keyboard thru my tears of laughter!

I've been told that people put the jars of fermenting sauce on the roofs of their houses.

The Web is remarkably lacking in recipes for Fish Wine (in English at least), the only notably example being a recipe in the game Everquest.

Sadly the Web is devoid of recipes for "Brussel Sprout Wine" as well.
