fish sauce
I have a recipe with fish sauce in it but I don't want to buy a whole bottle - if I don't like the finished dish the rest will never get used. Does anyone know what else I could use instead?

fish sauce smells pretty bad but the smell goes away after cooking. don't let the initial smell put you off. also, don't be tempted to use it liberally - just use what is called for in the recipe.
