Fish sauce is a liquid condiment made from fish or krill that have been coated in salt and fermented for up to two years. It is used as a staple seasoning in East Asian cuisine and Southeast Asian cuisine Burma, China, Laos, Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. Following widespread recognition of its ability to impart a savory umami flavor to dishes, it has been embraced globally by chefs and home cooks; the umami flavor in fish sauce is due to its glutamate content. Soy sauce is regarded by some in the West as a vegetarian alternative to fish sauce though they are different in flavor. Fish sauce is not only added to dishes as a seasoning, but used as a base in dipping sauces. Sauces that included fermented fish parts with other ingredients such as meat and soy bean were recorded in China 2300 years ago. During the Zhou dynasty of ancient China, fish fermented with soybeans and salt was used as a condiment. By the time of the Han dynasty, soy beans were fermented without the fish into soy paste and its by-product soy sauce.

With fermented fish-based sauces developing separately into fish sauce. A fish sauce, called kôechiap in Hokkien Chinese, or kecap in Indonesia might be the precursor of ketchup. By 50–100 BC, demand for fish pastes in China had fallen drastically, with fermented bean products having become a major trade commodity. Fish sauce, developed massive popularity in Southeast Asia. Food scholars traditionally divide East Asia into two distinct condiment regions, separated by a bean-fish divide: Southeast Asia using fermented fish and Northeast Asia, using fermented beans. Fish sauce re-entered China in the 17th and 18th centuries, brought from Vietnam and Cambodia by Chinese traders up the coast of the southern provinces Guangdong and Fujian. Fish sauces were used in ancient Mediterranean cuisine; the earliest recorded production was between 4th–3rd century BC by the Ancient Greeks, who fermented scraps of fish called garos into one. It is believed to have been made with a lower salt content than modern fish sauces.

The Romans made a similar condiment called either liquamen. According to Pliny the Elder, "garum consists of the guts of fish and other parts that would otherwise be considered refuse, so that garum is the liquor from putrefaction." Garum was made in the Roman outposts of Spain exclusively from mackerel by salting the scrap fish innards, sun fermenting the flesh until it fell apart for several months. The brown liquid would be strained and sold as a condiment. Remains of Roman fish salting facilities can still be seen, including in Algeciras in Spain and near Setúbal in Portugal; the process lasted until the 16th century, when garum makers switched to anchovy and removed the innards. Garum was ubiquitous in Classical Roman cooking. Mixed with wine it was known as oenogarum, or with vinegar, oxygarum, or mixed with honey, meligarum. Garum was one of the trade specialties in Hispania Baetica. Garum was maligned as smelling bad or rotten, being called, for example, "evil-smelling fish sauce" and is said to be similar to modern Colatura di Alici, a fish sauce used in Neapolitan cuisine.

In English garum was translated as fishpickle. The original Worcestershire sauce is a related product because it is fermented and contains anchovies. Fish sauces have been prepared from different species of fish and shellfish, from using the whole fish, or by using just fish blood or viscera. Most modern fish sauces contain only fish and salt made from anchovy, mackerel, or other strong-flavored, high oil fish; some variants add spices. For modern fish sauces, fish or shellfish is mixed with salt at a concentration of 10% to 30%, it is sealed in a closed container for up to two years. Once the original draft has been made, some fish sauces will be produced through a re-extraction of the fish mass via boiling. To improve the visual appearance and add taste, second-pass fish sauces have added caramel, molasses, or roasted rice, they are thinner, less costly. Some volume manufacturers of fish sauce will water down a first-press to manufacture more product. Fish sauce, only fermented has a pronounced fishy taste.

Extended fermentation reduces this and gives the product a nuttier and more savory flavor. An anonymous article, "Neuc-num", in Diderot and d'Alembert's 18th-century Encyclopédie, states: "It is said that Europeans become accustomed enough to this type of sauce". Southeast Asian fish sauce is made from anchovies and water, is intensely flavoured. Anchovies and salt are arranged in wooden barrels to ferment and are pressed, yielding the salty, fishy liquid; the salt extracts the liquid via osmosis. Southeast Asians use fish sauce as a cooking sauce. However, there is a sweet and sour version of this sauce, used more as a dipping sauce. Fish sauce in Burma is called ngan bya yay. In Cambodia, fish sauce is known as teuk trei, of which there are a variety of sauces using fish sauce as a base; the Indonesian semi-solid fish paste or fermented krill terasi, the Cambodian prahok and the Malay fermented krill brick belacan or budu from liquid anchovies are other popular variations of fish sauces. In Lao/Isan, it is called nam pa.

A chunkier, more aromatic version known as padaek is used. The Philippine fish sauce is known as patis, it is one of the most important ingredients in Filipino cuisine. Patis is a by-product of bagoong production, which include bagoong isda and bagoong alamang, as well as the rarer bagoong macabebe a

Alexander Freiherr von Dörnberg zu Hausen was a German jurist, diplomat and SS officer. He was head of the Protocol Department of the Foreign Office from 1938 to 1945, he came from the Dörnberg family of Hessian nobility. In his youth, Dörnberg attended the Reform-Realgymnasium in Kassel. After his Abitur in 1919, Dörnberg joined the Freikorps and participated in the violent domestic disputes in Germany after the end of World War I, he studied jurisprudence at several universities: Heidelberg, Munich and Frankfurt. In 1920, he became a member of the Corps Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg, a student organization, in 1921 the Corps Borussia Bonn. In 1925, he received his doctorate of law. In 1926, Dörnberg was for some months private secretary to German Ambassador Ago von Maltzan and to the Embassy of Germany, Washington, D. C. before he joined the diplomatic service in 1927. At the Foreign Office, he was first assigned as attaché to Alfred Horstmann. In 1930, he took the diplomatic-consular examination. Subsequently, he was employed as attaché at the Germany embassy in Bucharest from 1930 to 1933.

In 1933, Dörnberg – who attracted attention by his height of about 6 feet 7 inches – worked for several months in the Disarmament Department of the Foreign Office, before he worked at the Embassy in Tallinn, Estonia from autumn of 1933 to 1936. After a stopover in the Political Department of the Foreign Office from 1936–37, he became a secretary of legation to the Embassy of Germany in London. There was an intensive collaboration between Dörnberg and the German ambassador to Britain, Joachim von Ribbentrop, with whom he became friends for the first time. On 1 January 1934, when he worked in Estonia, Dörnberg became the member of the NSDAP. In 1938, he joined the SS, in which he reached the honorary rank of SS-Oberführer. In July 1938, Dörnberg was appointed as the successor to Vicco von Bülow-Schwante as Chief of the Protocol Department of the Foreign Office, he remained in this post until the collapse of the Nazi regime in 1945. In the autumn of 1938, Dörnberg received British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain during the negotiations over the Munich Agreement.

In August 1939, he accompanied Ribbentrop to Moscow to sign the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. As a diplomat, Dörnberg held the title of Minister Plenipotentiary. After the German surrender, Dörnberg was arrested by the Allies and interrogated during the Nuremberg trials as a witness in the Ministries Trial. Greater public attention was given Dörnberg posthumously in 2005: The Protocol Department of the Foreign Office had Dörnberg's portrait photograph inserted between the heads of department of all successive terms since 1920, hanging in the corridors of Protocol Department on the first floor of the west wing of the Foreign Office building; this led to a dispute about the culture of remembrance of the Foreign Office and aroused the displeasure of the Foreign Minister Joseph Martin Fischer.
