I just learned that Green Mountain Asian Market (greenmountainasian.com)
sells Vegetarian Fish Sauce for $2.89 (22 oz). It's called nuoc mam an chay.
The link to the fish suace on their website:

You can also call Tracey at 802-738-9288 and place a phone order. She's
terrific, full of information and always interested in feedback as well as
knowing what her customers would like her to carry.
Happy Thai cooking.

Since there is a large population of Buddhists in Vietnam, there are
also many vegetarians. "An Chay" (usually in red with a big "check
mark" on a Vietnamese product is an indication that it is suitable for
vegetarians, and specifically Buddhists. My bosses at work are involved
with a Vietnamese Buddhist temple a few blocks from our store. They help
pick up the groceries for the weekly communal meal at the temple, and no
meat products at all can be allowed in the door. I get to see and sample
a lot of Vegan friendly Vietnamese foods this way.
