I don't think so. Many people say that fish sauce has one of the worst smells in the world. However, for some reason, it adds a delicious flavor to food. It is so salty and savory, which tricks our tongues into thinking we are eating something sweet. We recommend you to give it a try if you've ever wondered what it's like to eat fish sauce. We guarantee that once you taste it, your opinion of this deliciousness will change forever!  Since this is an aromatic product, the smell will be stronger than the taste. But try not to breathe through your nose when tasting or cooking with it!
