Origin
Fish sauce is believed to have originated in ancient Southeast Asia, particularly in the coastal regions of what is now Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines. It has been used as a condiment and flavor enhancer in these regions for thousands of years. The process of making fish sauce involves fermenting fish, usually anchovies or other small fish, with salt. The resulting liquid is then strained and used in various dishes to add a savory and umami flavor. Fish sauce has since spread to other parts of the world and is now commonly used in many Asian cuisines.
