 Not Really...Oct 18, 2011
By Eddie Wannabee
Every wannabee cook knows that to make an above average culinary creation 3 things are necessary: Talent and creativity, a good recipe, and most important, great ingredients. If those 3 are in place then the results will be nothing short of outstanding every single time.
I have been in love with seafood since a toddler when a mini wave took me up to sea and I was rescued by an aging mermaid. I love all things that come from the sea excepting in sushi form, perhaps some of the sea life in raw form does not agree with my palate. I love making seafood dishes, from soups to main entrees. Soups are my biggest weakness for I use to go to a pier where the seafood would arrive early in the morning hours and right then and there a hot pot with water will be waiting to be filled up with all manners of the daily catch. Mussels, fish heads, shell fish, pieces of fish, oysters, octopus, shrimp, etc etc. These selections would be the leftovers, the ones that did not command a sizable market price, they would end in their own version of the french bouillabaisse, with herbs and spices and the phosphorus of the fish heads, in no time the broth would be bursting with natural flavor right from the ocean. Add some lemon (lime here for the lemon in US is not as pungent), a little home made salsa with onions, chilies and tomatoes, and if you were courageous enough extra heat. By the time you would finish this powerful concoction all the phosphorus of the seafood would command to find the nearest hammock and snore for a couple of hours only to wake up feeling like a million dollars.
Enter Knorr Fish Boullion Mix, 32 Ounce Canister: yes, somewhere in its contents there is some vague taste of fish, but it certainly does not taste natural. It seems to be a little on the smoky side, it definitely has its own particular taste but it is way off from an above average fish stock. I have been using Minor's Clam Base (because is the cheapest in price and imparts a delicious total flavor to dishes) and this time I was caught on the curiosity of purchasing this powder form bouillon. I loved the quantity and the powder form mystified me, what if it works as good as what I had been using? Of course is much more affordable than the clam base I am talking about (that one must be refrigerated and it is semi solid but it does have a truly clam smell) so I bought it and immediately tried it on a seafood chowder cilantro based. A very simple soup that includes hulled barley, onions finely chopped, fresh corn, small diced potatoes and fresh chilies properly sauteed with fresh garlic and olive oil and then blended with the cilantro and a couple of cans of quality diced tomatoes, preferably the ones with a little herbs thrown in. Who am I kidding? The ones they sell at Costco! This soup replaces the hard task of making your own fish stock which requires good fish heads with very clear eyes and all the other ingredients. Too much work for a wannabee cook these days but if done right it is every bit as good as anything you can eat these days. Throw some scallops, different fish, clams (if you can find plump ones), two or three fillets of mahi mahi, large shrimp, etc. But in the end, really, if the broth is good that is all a person would need to enjoy a hot cup or two of fish broth.
This one does not quite reach the levels of goodness I am referring to. It does the job but the final product lacks that essence of the sea, it is a little too processed?
Please do not get me wrong. I use the Knorr Chicken Powder and it works for me, a great value, so perhaps some people are more than satisfied with this product as well. I give it 3 Stars but that is it and I realize I am deviating from all the other 5 Star ratings, but the thing is, when you had the chance to try a superior product this one just can not compete. My chowder ended tasting okey but not spectacularly good and that hurts for I threw in a whole lot of seafood. Happy to have Albertsons sell this little packages of $1 each that allows for variety even though it is not the best of the catch they do offer bay scallops, different fishes, even shrimp and calamari, so it is not a bad deal. 3 Stars.

 I've searched for this everywhere!Mar 03, 2010

I used to buy this in small quantities at my local grocery store. But they quit carrying it and I've been searching for years. I have a recipe for shrimp bisque that requires this ingredient and I could not find it anywhere. And for the amount here, I should have enough to last me for life!
But will it remain available?May 13, 2011

I have been using this Knorr instant fish stock, both in the cube and powdered forms, for several years now. It is excellent as a base for a wide variety of seafood soups, stews, and sauces. And it's a bargain, too. It used to be available at several stores in my usual stomping grounds around Washington DC and in Phoenix. But, like other reviewers, I have been having increasing difficulty finding it in either regular supermarkets or Asian markets. I'm well stocked up now, but I hope this product remains available because I frequently recommend it to other cooks.
