The secret behind Phan Thiet's famous fish sauce

#Culture
The art of making fish sauce has been intertwined with the lives of the people of Phan Thiet since its early days, and it continues to be preserved and developed to this day. Upon arriving at the gateway to Phan Thiet, especially during the harvest season, you can easily spot fish sauce yards and towering vats stretching out before you… experiencing the salty, pungent taste of the salt and the distinctive aroma of the fish and fish sauce.
The main ingredient in Phan Thiet fish sauce is anchovies. There are many types of anchovies, such as striped anchovies, black anchovies, red anchovies, chalk-striped anchovies, lead-striped anchovies, and small anchovies… but the best are black anchovies and striped anchovies. Other medium and small-sized fish can also be used.
