fish paste
Mashed anchovy condiment
Fish paste is a thick, spreadable condiment made from pulverized fish, often anchovies or sardines, mixed with salt and sometimes other seasonings.
Common in British cuisine as a sandwich filling: fish paste on toast.
Asian fish pastes, fermented and intensely savory, serve as fundamental seasonings in Southeast Asian cooking.
