In regard of how nuoc mam is made, fishes are usually dumped in the fishing boat, with sea water (for salt) and left there for while. Every day, when the fishermen go at sea, they add another layer of fishes and sea water. How long it stays there fermenting in high heat, I have no idea. But as much as the raw stuff can be smelling and tasting strong straight out of the bottle, it must be prepared before serving.
Usually, it is diluted with water. Then some thin carrot slices are added, bit of sugar, and coriander. It is very perfumed and delicate, unlike the raw sauce.
