Third Coast Barrique-Aged Fish Sauce is a small-batch fermented seasoning aged in third-use oak barriques to develop exceptional depth, layered aromatics, and a remarkably smooth finish. Made in Minnesota from sustainably harvested Lake Superior herring and Oregon Coast sea salt, this distinctive expression showcases the transformative effects of time, fermentation, and oak. Aging in previously used wine barrels introduces subtle tannic structure, nuanced aromatics, and deep caramelized umami that continue to evolve on the palate. The result is a richly layered seasoning sauce that brings depth, balance, and complexity to a wide range of dishes. Clean and approachable yet remarkably complex, Barrique-Aged Fish Sauce is equally suited to professional kitchens and adventurous home cooks seeking distinctive flavor-building ingredients. Use it in: • Broths and soups • Vinaigrettes and dressings • Braised and roasted meats • Seafood dishes • Sauces and marinades • Finishing applications where depth and complexity are desired Crafted in St. Paul, Minnesota. Ingredients: Lake Superior herring, Oregon Coast sea salt, and a proprietary blend of botanicals and spices. Small Batch • Barrel Aged • Chef-Grade
