About Fish maw

Fish maw, the dried swim bladder of fish like croaker or carp, is a popular ingredient in Chinese cuisine and traditional medicine. Rich in collagen, it is valued for its purported ability to support skin elasticity, joint health, and wound healing. Containing minimal fat and abundant protein, fish maw is often used as a nourishing addition to soups, stews, and stir-fries. It is naturally low in calories and free of cholesterol, making it suitable for balanced diets. However, some commercial varieties may be processed with additives or preservatives, so sourcing high-quality, untreated fish maw is essential. A staple in Chinese culinary heritage, it is celebrated both for its subtle flavor and health-boosting properties. Whether used as a delicacy during festive occasions or as a healing food in herbal remedies, fish maw offers both culinary versatility and nutritional benefits.
