Hoisin Sauce and Oyster Sauce ?

[shanimasala]

Am in US.

Looking for halal hoisin and oyster sauces to use. Want to dabble in Asian cooking, yet so many recipes require these sauces. I’m not sure if these sauces are halal/haraam, so no offense to anyone .

Please list brands and or substitutions you may use.

Thank you!
