CHIN-SU Phu Quoc Fish Sauce
CHIN-SU Phu Quoc Fish Sauce is a rich, amber-colored Vietnamese fish sauce made from freshly caught anchovies salted immediately on the fishing boats of Phú Quốc Island at a 3-to-1 fish-to-salt ratio. The salted anchovy mixture is then aged for 12 months in traditional wooden barrels, following a fermentation method passed down through generations of Phu Quoc fish sauce craft. The finished sauce brings robust umami and bold Vietnamese depth to phở, marinades, dipping sauces, and everyday cooking.

FAQS ABOUT CHIN-SU Phu Quoc Fish Sauce
Two ingredients: anchovy and salt. No preservatives, no artificial flavors, no added color. Most commercial fish sauces include flavor enhancers, citric acid, preservatives, and additional flavorings to extend shelf life and standardize taste. CHIN-SU Phu Quoc Fish Sauce skips all of that. The depth of flavor comes entirely from 12 months of natural fermentation at a 3-to-1 fish-to-salt ratio on Phu Quoc Island.
Salting immediately on the fishing boat stops protein degradation the moment the fish leaves the water, locking in the freshest anchovy flavor before fermentation begins. The 3-to-1 fish-to-salt ratio applied at sea draws out moisture through osmosis and begins the curing process before the catch reaches shore. That immediate salting step is a traditional Phu Quoc practice that contributes to the clean, pure anchovy character in the finished sauce.
Yes. CHIN-SU Phu Quoc Fish Sauce is gluten-free. The formula contains only anchovy and salt, with no wheat, barley, rye, or any gluten-containing ingredient. Unlike other CHIN-SU variants where we note the absence of gluten-containing grains while flagging no official certification, this product carries an explicit gluten-free claim on the Amazon listing.
Yes. CHIN-SU Phu Quoc Fish Sauce is keto-friendly at standard cooking amounts. One tablespoon (15 ml) contains 1g of total carbohydrate with no added sugars. A ketogenic diet allows 20 to 50g of carbs per day (StatPearls, NCBI). The clean-label formula with no added sugars or flavor enhancers makes this the most keto-compatible option in the CHIN-SU fish sauce line.
No. CHIN-SU Phu Quoc Fish Sauce contains anchovy, a fish-derived ingredient. It's not suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone avoiding fish or seafood. For plant-based cooking, soy sauce or coconut aminos provide a similar salty-umami function without animal-derived content.
Keep the bottle in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight before opening. After opening, close the cap tightly after every use. Because this formula contains no preservatives, refrigeration after opening is particularly recommended to maintain the pure anchovy flavor over time. A clean-label fish sauce without chemical preservatives benefits more from cold storage than formula fish sauces do.
