About Squid
Squid Fish Sauce stands out as one of the finest fish sauces from Thailand, crafted through traditional fermentation of fresh squid with sea salt. This process yields a complex flavour that's bolder and more nuanced than standard varieties, with subtle oceanic notes that enhance rather than overpower dishes. Our collection features high-quality 700ml bottles and 725ml options, plus value-packed cases of 12 for frequent users or catering needs.

Versatile and indispensable, Squid Fish Sauce is the backbone of Thai cuisine. Use it in pad Thai for that signature tang, marinate meats for grilling, or mix into nuoc cham dipping sauces for spring rolls. It's also brilliant in stir-fries, curries like green curry chicken, and even modern fusion recipes such as seafood risottos or bloody mary cocktails. A little goes a long way – typically 1-2 tablespoons per recipe – making it economical and long-lasting.

Sourced directly from trusted producers, our Squid Fish Sauce ensures purity without additives, preserving the natural glutamate for maximum taste. Store it in a cool, dark cupboard after opening; it keeps indefinitely due to its high salt content. Whether you're mastering som tam salad or experimenting with home pho, this sauce brings restaurant-quality authenticity to your kitchen. Perfect for UK shoppers seeking genuine international ingredients.
