What is the shelf life? Once a fish is opened must it be refrigerated?

In a restaurant I will usually throw away the leftovers as I don't want to take a chance of it spilling in my purse. At home I will keep it for 2-3 days in the fridge once opened.

The 'fish' are fairly small and I've never had to worry about having any left - I either use it all or share it at one meal. But I don't refrigerate my regular soy sauce and would see no reason to refrigerate this one either.

A fish is only a tablespoon or so, so I don't think it takes long to use it up. But I have left an open one in my purse for months, and it's still good. It's only water and salt and soy....what can go very bad? It's the best stuff ever.

Hello, my sincere apologies for you just now receiving your answer. Normally we are notified by Amazon if a customer has a question, but we somehow missed this one! To answer your question, our fish shaped soy packets have a 2 year shelf life. Of course this will vary depending on when you purchased each package... the expiration date is stamped either at the top of the package on the back, or sometimes on the bottom of package. Again, sorry about delay in answering you. Sincerely, Gary, CEO Little Soya

No it does not need to refrigerated after opening. Actually honey has been named one of the products that you can keep forever in your pantry and it never spoils. By the way it is a great tasting honey.

It should be refridgerated to keep it from turning bad. If left in the fridge, it's fine.

Refrigerated, indefinitely. At room temp and cyclicly accessed and closed, I'd guess after six months if you haven't used it up, its probably lost alot of its charm other than saltiness. There's no fat or oil in there so spoilage is impeded by the salt. Mine gets used up before the thrill is gone.

It doesn't say to refrigerate but I do because of the fish oil in it. Once it is opened it will last a good two months in the refrigerator before it starts to go bad. I use it on my doberman foods and he loves it. I put on about four or five squirts a day. It's a great product... I have seen small amounts on the internet or go to the companies website. Good Luck

The oil is high in antioxidants and stores well in a cool dry place, about a year. Look at the expiration date, if you will get close to it or over by the time it will be spent, refrigerate now. Rule of thumb is you double remaining expiration time every 10 degC cooler than room for factory sealed foods. I recently had rotated a can of emergency refrigerated tuna exp. 2007 (rule of thumb extended it over 7yrs) and was delicious. If the oil will not be used for an extended period and you do have refrigeration room, why not extend the expiration and freshness by keeping it cooler?

It is an oil and would last longer if refrigerated. Not sure on shelf life, but i figure a few months. I store mine in fridge and put a small amount in my bathroom for using.

It doesn't need to be refrigerated. I am not sure of the shelf life, but I believe it has an expiration date.

As long as they are sealed they do not have to be refrigerated. Once you open the bottle, and break the seal then put the bottle in the refrigerator.

Well, the bottles don't say anything about storing in the fridge. I have tried several different brands and none of them say to store in the fridge. However, I always put mine in the fridge with the idea that the oil will not get rancid over time. Also, in the past, some fish oils I have tried gave me fish burps if they sat out at room temperature, but when stored in the fridge, the fish burps didn't happen. I just do it now as standard procedure for any fish oil tabs I purchase. But looking at the bottle, there is nothing said about storing them any particular place.

I have not had any problems with it not being refrigerated. You may want to refrigerate after opening.

I have not refrigerated it, keep it in a dark, cool pantry, tightly closed and it is fine. Good luck

They have a very long shelf life, even after they have been opened. My bottle has an expiry date of 04.2015 and I purchased them back in 2013.I don't even know if they need to be refrigerated.

Container says to store in refrigerator and that shelf life is 8 months. My reading of this is 8 months opened or unopened they are "live" cultures.

It depends on the brand!The "Tarama" brand of fish roe are already matured for 2 years before being sold.My experience is that their quality r3emains very good even after 6 months in the refrigerator. Nevertheless they should not be kept in the freezer!The Salmon roe is more delicate, but they also can be kept for 3 months in refrigerator (not in the freezer!).If the Tarama roes are prepared with olive oil and onions, they are an excellent dish!The other brands (tobiko, flying fish roe) need no special preparation and they are also very resistant to aging in the refrigerator.

yes, the bottle says you need to refrigerate it after you open it and it has a shelf life of 6 months after that I do believe.

I do not know the shelf life but after opening I have just kept it on cabinet the shelf, that is, I did not refrigerate it.
