Thais use fish sauce (nam pla) in lots of stuff. Adding a little to your
stir fry, marinade, etc, or adding a little to the oyster sauce should be
fine. Just don't overdo it. You don't want it to be the dominant flavor,
unless you're making prik nam pla or the like.

BTW I was making a Bloody Mary and discovered I was out of Worcestershire
sauce. I used about 1/2 as much fish sauce and while slightly different, it
was quite adequate.
