These clever tablets manage to contain an incredible amount of flavor in a dime-sized package. The primary flavors are a rich roasted fish and a hint of seaweed, though it’s not as briny as homemade dashi. The tablets yield a meaty broth that really does give you the character of traditional stocks, with plenty of alliums, celery and sweet-earthy carrots. Compared to other fish stock products, this one is much more robust, with a roasted fish flavor that stands out from the pack. The other ingredients give it incredible depth, and it never tips into that dreaded “fishy” realm like some concentrated fish products. Because they are so compacted, these tablets need heat to properly dissolve—just throw them directly into your cooking pot.
They’re freeze dried to preserve their flavor and contain no nasty additives—just vegetables like radish and shiitake mushrooms and seafood like tuna and clams.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
We found that 1 tablet per 2 cups of water yields a light but flavorful all-purpose flavor base for anything from stews, soups and braises to cooking liquid for grains. Upping the amount to 2 tablets per 2 cups of water, however, produces a much richer broth, more akin to a finished soup—use this formula for times when you want to just quickly blanch some veggies and meat in seafood broth and call it a meal.
