Fish sauce is a salty condiment used in Southeast Asian cuisine. In Vietnam, fish sauce is produced through traditional fermentation methods. Salt, krill, small fishes and seasoning are added to clean water, and left to ferment in large clay urns. Fish sauce factories housing large number of clay urns can be found all over rural areas in Vietnam.
