Fish Sauce
 
 
 


As common in Southeast Asia as soy sauce is in China, this pungent, thin liquid is made from salted, fermented fish. It is both an ingredient and a condiment in several cuisines. Fish sauce is called nuoc mam in Vietnam, nam pla in Thailand and shottsuru in Japan. The strong aroma dissipates in cooking. Fish sauce from the first pressing (sometimes called "virgin") is preferred for its light taste and amber color.
