    You are so right, Maria. Fish sauce was never a staple in my home when I grew up, but it is now! Fish sauce is a special touch to many dishes!

    I remember pulling fish sauce from my fridge when I started doing the Ideal Protein diet because of the sugar in it. I’ll have to relook at the label.
