    Love fish sauce, but didn't realize how difficult and time-consuming it is to make. Kudos to this young lady for returning to her hometown to employ the local people and make delicious fish sauce.

      yes, it takes long time to produce traditional fish sauce (not industrial one): 1 year for fermentation, 1 day to extract the authentic fishsauce. Hope you can enjoy Bamboo Boat fishsauce some day :-)

    fish sauce is one of the important ingredients in cooking among south asian people. it's also used as a condiment and garnishment in food as well. fish sauce basically is a south east asian cuisine ingredient.

    Fish sauce from east asia is the literal ancestor of ketchup. It was discovered by early European traders and brought home and evolved to become modern tomato ketchup. The word ketchup is believed to have Chinese origins: ket-siap, Hokkien for fermented fish sauce.

    This is a wonderful video. Thank you. I started making my first fish sauce last week. Just a big jar full of whole mackerel chunks and 20% sea salt. It's in a mild temp, dark room. I will filter it in a year or so.

    my friend was wondering why doesn't she use all the modern technique and machine to boots up the process so she can produce more. I explained to her that because it requires preservative, but she insist in then why did she went study aboard for when she could stay home and just take her family's techniques. Can you explain it to us, please?

    instead of yeasting fish for 2 yrs, and add salt water, why we make our own fish sauce, instantly at home for freshest tasting? why yeasting fish? 2 yrs later, those fish in salt water may rotted ...who knows?

    Given the long time the fermentation takes, plastic chemicals will leach from the containers into the sauce. Especially since the process releases heat which only intensifies the leaching. This can be harmful to the health of consumers.
    For "cultural preservation", should it not be made the traditional way instead of with a Western-invented, globally mass produced commodity that harms humans and the environment?
