Wow! What a different, unique way to serve corn. I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive about the fish smell when making it up...it really did stink up the house! I put it in a container and into the fridge until I was ready to use it! Out came the candles and, voila...smell gone! The end result was a very unique, tasting corn on the cob. As our peaches and cream corn are in full season, I will be doing this recipe again and again! I would highly recommend this recipe. Thanks for a wonderful posting

Don't be scared off by the fish sauce. The flavor is pretty mild. Not fishy, not sweet... just good. I love grilled corn like this... no more soggy boiled corn! Grilling the corn directly over the heat gives nice char marks and great grilled flavor while keeping the corn tender-crisp the way it should be!
