Despite being made from fermented fish, Asian fish sauces like this do not have a fishy taste. Rather, they add a punch of savoury flavour to your food, elevating a dish with depth and complexity. 

Thai fish sauce is frequently used in curries, soups, stir-fries or salads. Many traditional dishes will utilise it. Fish sauce can also be used as a condiment or as an ingredient for dipping sauces. It’s often combined with chillies and lime juice to create the popular sauce prik nam pla, which is used as a kind of all-purpose seasoning to enhance the flavour of anything that’s a little too bland.
