Drying of fish was found a practical means for preservation in situation where fish catch far exceeds fish consumption. This often happens in the rainy season, between May and October during which fishermen may catch much larger fish biomasses. Before the wide availability of refrigerators, people used to preserve fish by fermenting it into fish sauce or drying it. It is quite common to see dried fish for sale in Laos whether in local markets or by the road side. In general the dried freshwater fish are popular in Laos.
