Oregano substitute?

I have some tuna steaks (yellow stickered) which I have decided to marinade before cooking. (I have never cooked tuna before)
I googled for a recipe and found one which looks good, but it calls for 2 tbsps of fresh oregano. I couldn't find any in Tescos so googled again and found suggestions to use marjoram (which I don't have...) or a combination of basil and parsley (which I do have...)
But do you think the basil/parsley mixture will taste OK with tuna?

I'm sure it will be fine. IMHO the best herb to go with tuna is coriander and griledd tuna which has been marinaded in lime and corinader is hard to beat.

I agree with Haribo Basil and/or parsley will taste great and so will coriander. Obviously each herb has a different flavour but they are all robust enough to stand up to the meatiness of tuna.

Thank you - I don't have any coriander, so it will have to be basil and parsley! The recipe also has lemon juice in it by the way....
