My mom is allergic to fish of any kind ,and I would like to make some thai foods. Unfortunately, most use Nam Plah, or fish sauce.
I know it's a major flavor,but is there ANY substitute that will not kill my mom(which would be bad)?
thank you!

Some site recommend using worcestershire sauce, but I would avoid that too if your mom is allergic to fish since it contains anchovies.
Use a touch more of the other ingredients - garlic, lemon grass, galanga... etc. I'm sure the food will be flavorful enough without missing the true thai experience.

Lite Soy sauce seems to work ok, or, you can also just throw a fair sized pinch of salt in, instead of using the fish sauce. My wife is Thai, and she says to just use salt. Most places will tell you to use the lite soy sauce, but my wife says it changes the flavor a bit. I hope this helps.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU6B9
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

light soy sauce .. the fish sauce is used for the salty briney flavor .. squeeze a little lime juice in the light soy and it will make a fine non-fish substitute .. I do it all the time when I cook vegetarian Thai dishes.

Fish sauce is MSG. It does not lend much flavor itself, but rather enhances the flavors that are there. Use a powdered MSG or just use salt. I doubt anyone will be the wiser. And you won't have to smell it.

I'd just leave it out. You may bump up the soy a bit, to make up for the lost saltiness from the fish sauce.

Leave the sauce out. It's the taste and smell that counts.

Just leave it out and put in salt.
