Nestled along the coastal city of Danang is the Nam O fish sauce craft village, a testament to a tradition dating back over 400 years. This village stands as one of the few remaining bastions of traditional fish sauce craftsmanship in Vietnam. Approximately 100 households in this village are dedicated to the art of crafting fish sauce, upholding a tradition that has made Nam O fish sauce renowned for its distinctive salty flavor, drawn from the central coast’s secret blend of three parts fish to one part salt.
Huong Lang Co fish sauce is among the celebrated brands originating from this village. Produced entirely naturally, it boasts pure and unique fish sauce flavors that have earned favor among both residents and tourists. These artisans play a vital role in preserving the heritage of the fish sauce craft village while providing sustainable employment for hundreds of local workers who earn an average monthly income ranging from VND3-5 million.
In recognition of its cultural significance, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism bestowed the title of National Intangible Cultural Heritage upon the Nam O fish sauce making profession in 2019.
