I looked for smoked oysters when I was at a supermarket last night
and saw threee brands. They all were packed in cottonseed oil.
How does that fit in with your healthful eating plan?

Yes. And they were the first item I remember
buying specifically labelled as a product of
South Korea. Any other Korean items I've
seen just said Korea. I don't think the DPRK
exports food, but if the ROK stops exporting
canned smoked oysters, I'd give DPRK oysters
a try if they were available. Couldn't be
worse than the PRC oysters.

Neither good nor bad. Saturated fat content of
cottonseed oil is not much different than other
vegetable oils. Peanut and coconut oils are the
only really bad vegetable oils. I'm a bit suspicious
of safflower oil because it is so far in the other
direction -- it's the most unsaturated fat you can buy.
I remember the dish I kept my bottle of safflower in
developing a rubber-like layer of spilled oil.
Other oils don't do that. After a while, my doubts
kept gnawing at me, and I switched to other oils.
For a long time I used canola oil, but these days
it's mostly olive oil. I recently bought grapeseed
oil for frying because at the same time I bought
an expensive bottle of olive oil for non-frying
purposes, but I'll probably revert to a cheaper
olive oil and use it for everything on the next cycle.

They won't hurt you. Most of them are acetylcholinesterase
inhibitors, which are not harmful in small doses. It's not
like they cause cancer or something.
