Hi all, I’m planning to serve a few oysters soon, and I’d like to serve them like a lot of Americans eat them: with a dash of hot sauce. Now I know there are many sauces out there, but is there a ‘common’ one that y’all could recommend? Preferably not too hot, so it suits most people’s palate.

I'm a simple man when it comes to oysters. Tabasco does the job just fine. Anything more flavorful ruins the oyster for my tastes and anything hotter or less hot just isn't right. Now on everything else I have a preferred hot sauce for every food type and stock at least 5 varieties minimum at all times.
Tobasco is probably the most common hot sauce in the U.S., although it is really pretty tame as far as hot sauces go. It has more of a vinegar taste than anything else, imo. Other hot sauces with similar flavor (and hotness) profiles are the brands Louisiana and Crystal.
Thank you all for the quick replies! The Tabasco sauce is readily available in all stores here, so that’s a no-brainer.
Now, just because I’m curious, I’m not saying I’m gonna use it, but: would you consider the "Try Me original Tiger sauce" a good substitute? I really like its vinegary tang, which I *think* should be a good match for the oysters.
And yes, I’m gonna grill the oysters (of course) for 30 seconds over charcoal first. And then place back in the shells. After all, this is a bbq forum :-)

A lot of folks like little more than a dash of fresh lemon, but Crystal is probably the best for oysters because it's a bit more vinegary (think mignonette).
