I did not find the Hop Sing Lung Oyster Sauce; I asked several people and
they had not seen the brand.
I bought Lee Kum Kee (boy and girl in a boat with oysters in it).

Lee Kum Kee 18 oz. $3.79, Premium Oyster Flavored Sauce, Product of USA,
Packed by Lee Kum Kee (USA) Foods, City of Industry, CA.
Ingredients: Oyster Extractives, sugar, water, mon.glut., salt, modified
corn starch, wheat flour, caramel color. Refrigerate after opening, with a
due date of 12-16-08.
Thanks for all your help, everyone.
