Default Garum -- anyone know a good substitute?

I am trying to put together a Roman dinner - and was wondering if anyone had
a good modern day substitute for Garum? I see that it is used all over the
place in the Roman diet - anyone know if anything comes close?

Nuoc mam or nam pla? Maybe with the addition of some oregano?

I've read that Nuc Nam (Vietnamese) might be similar.

Nuc Mam is the Vietnamese version. I've used it in a lot of Roman recipes
with good results.

I don't think so!

Stick with the Thai fish sauce.

No such thing.

No such place.

There is a Worcestershire but there's no sauce named after it, despite
what a lot of Americans say.

There is a "Worcester sauce" (named after the town, not the county)
but it's got a lot more than garum in it.
