1. What's fish sauce?

It sounds good except for that.

2. Fish sauce is a delicacy from Vietnam and Thailand. I'd tell you how its

made but (unless you're interested) you probably don't want to know.

It is the Southeast Asian answer to soy sauce - ubiquitous. It is a runny dark brown sauce that has a quite fishy taste. For many its an acquired taste - but once acquired you'll never find its equal!


That saounds like a great salad - THANKS DEMNAN!!!

6. Thank you kindly - My Fiancée's birthday is Saturday and I'm throwing her

4. Thanks

does the taste dissipate like anchovies?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. It dissipates faster than anchovies. Its best to get a good brand - not

the stuff you find in the tiny asian section in a grocery store but the good stuff at an asian market.
