I seem to be getting messages out of sequence. As previously stated,
liquamen, at least in ancient Roman usage, is a salty, tangy condiment
made from fish. It is described as being a semi-clear liquid after the
solids settle out. The semisolid dregs are called allec or hallec and
are also used as a seasoning.

However, watch out: Platina calls for liquamen in his recipes, and he is
referring to rendered, liquid fat, such as melted lard or suet.
