Korean Fish Sauce (Aekjeot)
Korean Fish Sauce (Aekjeot) is a salty, savory liquid seasoning made by fermenting fish with salt and is widely used across Southeast and East Asian cuisines to add umami depth to soups, marinades and dipping sauces. It is very high in sodium, containing about 7.85g of salt per 100g, so it is typically used in small amounts to season dishes. Nutritionally, it contributes small amounts of protein and provides trace micronutrients commonly found in seafood such as vitamin B12 and selenium. As a concentrated fermented seafood product, it offers intense flavor with minimal calories, but its high salt content is the main consideration when using it in cooking.
