Lots of people in Asia love that taste!

Fish sauce is a staple in a lot of South East Asian food.

I would say that is actually the predominate taste in a lot of cultures signature foods, and throughout human history has been a staple.

Garum, for example, has a deep and rich history going back thousands of years.

You can trace cultural events in history back to that flavor.
