Fish Sauce and the Fish Free Diet

Fish sauce is a staple condiment in Southeast Asian cuisine, known for its rich umami flavor. It is traditionally made by fermenting fish, usually anchovies, with salt over a period of several months. The resulting liquid, extracted from the fermentation process, is what is known as fish sauce. It is widely used to enhance the flavor of dishes, providing a savory depth to soups, marinades, and dipping sauces.
