Does this shit need to be refrigerated? It says to on the bottle,

I knew a chinese cook once and she never put it in the fridge

>but I trust you guys more.

that's the spirit. you don't need to refrigerate it. things on bottles are just things people say.

Everything seafood-related should be refrigerated

Though I'm not sure there's anything similar to actual oysters in that thing

Oyster broth is the main flavoring in oyster sauce.

High sugar, low salt/vinegar. Go ahead and toss it in the fridge, OP. Better be safe than sorry.

The amount of salt in oyster sauce alone is enough to ward off most bacteria, so I see no problem with it staying out of the fridge.

I'd still keep it in the fridge anyway because I keep all opened sauces in the fridge.

>Low salt

Have you even seen an oyster sauce label in your life, friend?

I assumed it was similar to hoisin sauce, really.

>>7622003
I don't know if it needs to, but I always have mine in the fridge after it's opened.
Why not? It keeps for years.

Because they use it up too quickly for it to spoil. For a westener, who will make it last a whole year, it's best to refrigerate.
