Our Pham-ily Story
How a family-owned business became a best-selling pantry staple
Our Story
After moving to the United States, Cuong Pham was hungry to recreate the flavors of his childhood in Saigon but couldn’t find a fish sauce that tasted like home. So in 2011, Cuong decided that if he couldn't find it, he would make it — and started Red Boat Fish Sauce. He left his job as an Apple engineer to recreate his memories of an intensely fragrant and umami-rich fish sauce.
To this day, Red Boat is a family-owned business owned and operated by Cuong, his wife Ann, and his kids, Tracy, Kevin, and Tiffany. We continue to make fish sauce with just two ingredients, anchovies and sea salt, using a centuries-old fermentation process on Phú Quốc, Vietnam. In 2024, we launched Vietnamese Curry & Simmer Sauces that are made with our premium fish sauce so that you can eat effortlessly delicious Vietnamese meals in less than 20 minutes.
For over a decade, our family business has made the BEST Vietnamese flavors from the purest ingredients so you and yours can enjoy delicious food. We are committed to quality ingredients, 100% pure flavor, and bringing more Vietnamese and Vietnamese-inspired meals to American dinner tables.
