Fish sauce first appeared in Cat Hai from the 20th century and derived from the name Van Van fish sauce. Therefore, as soon as you set foot on this island, the first thing you will notice is the salty and fragrant smell of fish sauce from the producers spread across the island. It is also the unique flavor of this small island.

The method of production determines the quality of fish sauce and is mainly manual. Fish sauce here is made from mainly Ca Com (anchovies) and Nham, a species with a special taste from Cat Hai’s waters. The fish should be fresh and anything else will ruin the natural flavor of the sauce product.
