spices and fish-sauce

12 years ago
Just want to let folks know that I finally found that stinky fish-sauce and dark sesame oil. There is a spice shop one block from the malecon (river walk) in Guayaquil near Cristobal Colon Street/Avenue (this calle is perpendicular to the river-walk). They had the fish sauce (water, anchovies, and fermented fish) and dark sesame oil. Both were rather pricey ($6 and $9 respectively) but I got the fish sauce anyway (a little goes a long way). Since I can get sesame oil in Hipermart and Supermaxi in Libertad (albeit not as rich as what I could get in the states), I did not get the $9 bottle in Guayaquil so I cannot tell you if it was worth the price. It looked like the store may have had other hard to find items but I did not have the time to browse. If you want better directions to the store let me know. Rebe
