I love 3 crabs, but then again, I
like fishiness. Anchovies on pizza is heaven for me, as is
nuoc cham made with 3 crabs.
I have and use Red Boat. It tastes "better" the first day it is opened, but a week later, it is as fishy as 3 crabs and is far more salty. Only if you freeze the Red Boat does it stay tasting better than 3 crabs. IMO, it's not worth the extra money because I never use a full bottle of fish sauce in one day and it's too inconvenient to use when frozen. YMMV and all that.
Did you notice what fish sauce the Thai chick in the videos for the other thread was using? Squid Brand, one go the two that failed the test those white boys did. In another video, she recommends Three Crabs. No mention of Red Boat. LOL. Thais aren't afraid of a little fishiness. That is entirely the point.
