Note that Vietnamese consider Squid brand to be used for cooking
only. Three Crabs and a few others are considered "table sauces"
for making dips and as a finishing condiment. Most Vietanamese home
cooks will have both types in their kitchen. I use Three Crabs for
both - I can't justfy having two fifths of fish sauce lying around.

I've tried a bunch of others and finally decided I can afford the
extra $2/year for Three Crabs.
