Best Fish sauce for home cooking
What Fish sauce is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The salt of Vietnam and Thailand: fish, time, and a smell that becomes sweetness in the pot.
Start with less than you think, then add lime. A good bottle smells funky and tastes clean. A cheap one tastes only of salt and rust.
Nuoc cham is fish sauce, lime, sugar, chile, and garlic. If you can make that, you understand the jar.
