Fish sauce from sardines

I love Asian fish sauces. And I marinate and season to not only Asian dishes, dips and soups, but also give them to you in like braised oxtail stew, stews and sauces.
In Thailand, Vietnam, but also China, and used throughout Southeast Asia, a variety of fish sauce as a seasoning or salt substitutes are used.

The sauce is made from fermented fish or shrimp or oysters occasionally.
They contain sugar, and sometimes vary greatly in concentration, so you need to experiment a bit.

The best places you initially to a small bottle.
Does not shy away from any of the odor, which, however boils away completely and disappears, you can buy some small bottles of different sauces and try them in small doses to get a pure idea. Such as soy sauce they keep somewhat long and they are also cheap.

It is not as exotic as always assumed, because in European cuisine and anchovies are so used to give a stronger taste various dishes.
What does not taste too fishy, ​​and is also being applied with great care.

In "The Roman cookbook of Apicius" is often used garum, whose origin is probably in Greece and the fish sauce is very similar.
The cookbook is also a recipe for producing it, will you cook the recipes, however, the Asian fish sauce can be used as a substitute.
For me, fish sauce essential in Asian salads, which gives it an irreplaceable touch and goes particularly well with sweet and sour combinations of fruit and meat.
