Chat with a neighbor about fish sauce changed my approach

Old guy next door saw me tossing out shrimp shells. He said "You're throwing away gold." Made me try fermenting them instead of just buying fish sauce from the store. Two weeks in and my kitchen smells wild but the liquid is already dark and funky. Anyone else tried making their own fish sauce from scraps?

@wendy_carr exactly, the store stuff is overpriced and bland. Made my own last weekend and it was like throwing away gold compared to what I used to buy.
