Fish sauce is the single, most important flavoring ingredient in Thai cooking (also well-loved in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma and the Philippines). Used like salt in western cooking and soy sauce in Chinese cooking, good-quality fish sauce imparts a distinct aroma and flavor all its own. If you look through our Thai recipe section, you will find that every dish requires this most important element of Thai food cooking. Simply put: if it doesn't have fish sauce, it can't be considered Thai. We are proud to offer a few different brands, all made by Thailand's premier food companies, First Grade export quality.
