Sesame / gingelly oil has the highest smoking point among cooking oils. Also it has the least chance to turn rancid(unpleasant smell and taste) when kept in the open without refrigeration. This is due to the natural antioxidants present in the oil.
1) Will keep in the fridge for about 3 months. Make sure oil is floating on top. Also while taking pickle, use a clean, dry spoon.
2) Fish without bones was used.
