Do you miss the unique, buttery sweetness of the Mekong Delta’s floating season, captured in a single, irresistible flavor? Song Huong Linh Fish Paste brings the pure, rustic soul of cá linh (Linh fish) straight from the floodwaters to your American kitchen.

This traditional fish paste is crafted from whole, tender Linh fish, a prized seasonal catch in the Southern delta, carefully fermented with high-quality iodized salt, sugar, and a touch of roasted rice powder (thính). Unlike other fish pastes, Mắm Cá Linh offers a distinctive mild flavor profile that is sweeter and less pungent, making it an essential and versatile component for creating the region’s most iconic, deeply comforting dishes.

Why you'll love it

• Seasonal Delicacy, Year-Round: Captures the unique, rich, and slightly sweet flavor of the Linh fish- the true taste of the Mekong Delta’s flood season, available anytime.

• Essential for Lẩu Mắm: Recognized as the foundational ingredient for the famous, intoxicating Lẩu Mắm (Fish Sauce Hotpot) broth.
