Nuoc Mam?

[Teddybear]

I know it's unlikely, but I'm wondering if anyone has a salt-free substitute for Vietnamese fish sauce, nuoc mam? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Not really a sub but you could play around a bit with Bragg Liquid Aminos (more soy sauce-ish than fish sauce-y) as a sub

OR use less fish sauce and augment with lime juice.

Again, not the same, but there is no one-to-one sub for fish sauce, methinks. I could be wrong!

Thanks -- I was thinking of lime juice, too. I've got a soy substitute -- basically molasses and rice wine vinegar. Will look into the Bragg as that is a new one to me.
