About
Quick facts: Every year, thousands of liters of fish sauce are produced here, an essential ingredient of Vietnamese cuisine. The factory uses traditional fermentation techniques that often take several months to achieve the savory flavor.
Highlights: The long rows of glass bottles drying in the sun create a fascinating play of colors from amber to dark brown. Interestingly, the quality of the sauce depends strongly on the salt content and fish freshness, which makes the production process particularly demanding.
Insider tips
- Wear loose-fitting clothing as it can get warm in the production hall.
- Photography is allowed, especially the rows of bottles in the sunlight offer great shots.
- Do not expect the largest factory, small family businesses feel more authentic.
- Asking questions is worthwhile, the workers often like to share insider knowledge about the production.
