Fish Sauce Stored In The Pot “Tĩn” Of Phan Thiet
300 years ago, in the ancient fishing village of Phan Thiet (southeast coast in Vietnam), the locals commenced devising the brewing technique of fish sauce in ceramic pots. The early versions are made from fish and salt and used in the local region, then developed and broadly sold throughout the country by Phan Thiet people.
Since then, pots of Phan Thiet fish sauce are covered with lime, square-labeled with the brands of traders and transported across the Six southern Mekong provinces, the Central, and the North. It is safe to say that the fish sauce of Phan Thiet occupies the preponderant part of the market in Vietnam at that time. The ancients also called this fish sauce as “Rin” fish sauce or “Tĩn” fish sauce, which means first drops of the first-press fish sauce.
