Is that why we can’t get good garum these days?
The fish originally used doesn’t survive in the colder waters?

I just watched one of those history/archeology shows. It was about the Roman city of Neopolis and the garum trade. Seems Neopolis was a garum production and shipping hub. 100 three pit production pits and counting.
They found several intact and unopened jars of garum. It had turned to dust but they sent the dust to a lab and it was determined that sardines were the preferred fish for the garum made at Neopolis.
Sardines.
