Fish sauce (liquid)

Fish sauce is a pungent, salty liquid condiment made by fermenting fish, typically anchovies, with salt over an extended period. It is a foundational seasoning in Southeast Asian cooking, used in dressings, marinades, and dipping sauces, adding a deep umami flavour that mellows once cooked into a dish. Its strong raw smell is much less noticeable once incorporated into a finished recipe.

As a free-flowing liquid, this ingredient fills a measuring cup with no trapped air pockets, so its weight is close to a straightforward density calculation.
