Fish Sauce (Squid Brand)

Squid Brand Fish Sauce

A clear, amber-brown Vietnamese-style fish sauce made from fermented anchovies and sea salt with a clean, savory umami backbone. Light-bodied and well-balanced, Squid Brand offers a pronounced savory depth without excessive saltiness or overpowering fishiness. Its translucent consistency integrates smoothly into liquids, sauces, and dressings, adding savory complexity and natural glutamates that enhance other ingredients.
