I thought fish was full of nitrogen compounds and that's why it smells so bad
The process may need an additional nitrogen source depending on salt content of the fish sauce. Because the required N per volume of wood chips so it composts hotly may result in too much salt for the process if only fish sauce is used. In which case it could be diluted in an additional (low salt) nitrogen source.
I don't know how much salt fish sauce actually has, just it could be diluted and composted anyway if it's too much raw.
