Fish Sauce - Don't be put off by the pungent aroma, incorporated into a sauce, dressing, or curry, fish sauce becomes less powerful, quite addictive, and a healthy alternative to salt. The Vietnamese (nuoc mam) and Thai (nam pla) versions, made form fermented anchovies, shrimp, or squid, are considered the best and are widely available. Once opened, fish sauce should be refrigerated.

In Thailand, this fragrant and spicy-hot sauce makes the perfect accompaniment to many dishes stirred into fried rice with vegetables or seafood or, the way I like it, brushed over grilled fish or shellfish.
