Frequently Asked Questions
What is Blue Dragon Fish Sauce made from?
Blue Dragon Fish Sauce is crafted from fresh anchovies fermented naturally with sea salt over several months. This traditional process yields its signature amber colour and powerful umami flavour without artificial additives.
How do I use fish sauce in cooking?
Use it sparingly as a seasoning in stir-fries, soups, marinades, and dressings. Start with half a teaspoon and adjust to taste – it intensifies during cooking. It's brilliant in pad Thai, spring rolls, or caramelised pork belly.
Is Blue Dragon Fish Sauce gluten-free?
Yes, it's naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for coeliac diets. Always check the label for the latest allergen info, but Blue Dragon's recipe avoids wheat or barley.
How should I store it after opening?
Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark cupboard away from heat. It lasts up to a year unopened and several months once opened, thanks to its high salt content acting as a preservative.
Can vegetarians use fish sauce?
Traditional fish sauce contains fish, so it's not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Look for vegan alternatives if needed, but for authentic Asian taste, this is the real deal.
