How is Thai Seafood Sauce used in Thai cooking?

Thai seafood sauce - nam jim seafood - is the sharp, fiery dipping sauce served with grilled and steamed seafood, balancing spicy, salty, sweet, and sour in one bright hit. Made with fresh chili, garlic, lime, fish sauce, and a little sugar, it cuts straight through rich seafood. It also doubles as the dressing base for yum - the Thai cold salads like yum talay and yum woon sen - where that same four-way balance pulls everything together. We mix it fresh and adjust the lime and chili to taste.
