Fish Sauce

Fish sauce is an integral flavoring in Southeast Asian cooking.  It is made from fermented fish.  It is also known as nam pla (Thai) and nuoc nam (Vietnam); the Philippine version, pastis, has a much milder flavor.  Store at a cool room temperature in a dark place.  It will keep for about 1 year.  Do yourself a favor and don’t smell it!
