The preparation of garum sauce involves salting and fermenting small fish, resulting in a strong umami flavor through a process of proteolysis and lipolysis. The fermentation process typically takes 2-3 months, during which the mixture is stirred regularly to ensure even decomposition of the fish proteins and fats.
