How to Measure Fish Sauce Correctly
Fish sauce should be measured in a liquid measuring cup or with measuring spoons for small amounts. For accuracy, use a kitchen scale. A little goes a long way — start with small amounts and taste as you go.
Understanding Fish Sauce Measurements
Fish sauce is a fermented condiment made from fish and salt. One cup of fish sauce weighs approximately 255 grams. It's a liquid but denser than water due to its high salt content. It has a strong, pungent aroma but adds incredible depth when used in cooking.
Common Uses in Baking & Cooking
Fish sauce is used in Southeast Asian cooking, particularly Thai and Vietnamese dishes. It adds umami and saltiness to curries, stir-fries, and dipping sauces. It's essential in pad Thai, pho, and many Southeast Asian recipes. If you need a substitute, see our Fish Sauce substitution guide.
Storage and Handling Tips
Store fish sauce at room temperature in a cool, dark place. It has an almost indefinite shelf life due to its high salt content. If it develops an off smell (beyond its normal pungent aroma) or changes colour significantly, replace it.
