The specialist view
A Thai kitchen keeps more than one fish sauce open.
Fish sauce is not a single line item. The bottle that seasons a pad thai is not always the one that goes into a som tum dressing or a dipping nam pla. A working kitchen keeps two or three open at once and reaches for the one the dish needs.
Dao stocks the range Bay Area operators ask for by name: Tiparos as the everyday cooking workhorse, Squid Brand as the premium, all-purpose bottle, and Three Crabs for the lighter, more delicate profile that dipping sauces want (nam pla prik, nuoc cham). Megachef adds a cleaner finish, and Pantai Nam Nem covers the Vietnamese side. All by the case, on the same truck as the rice.
