Sauce from fish farm: am counting up bottles! (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nuoc mam

'sauce' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fish farm am counting up bottles' is the wordplay.
'bottles' indicates a hidden word (bottling is a kind of containing).
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'mamcoun' can be found hidden inside 'fish farm am counting'.
'mamcoun' reversed gives 'NUOC MAM'.

'from' is the link.

(Another definition for nuoc mam that I've seen is " Fish sauce".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
