About Fish maws

Fish maws are the dried swim bladders of fish, commonly used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines. Renowned for their delicate texture, they are often incorporated into soups and stews, as well as medicinal tonics in traditional Chinese practices. Fish maws are rich in high-quality protein, including collagen, which may promote skin elasticity and joint health. They are low in fat and carbohydrates, making them a lean choice for balanced diets. Additionally, they contain essential amino acids and some trace minerals crucial for overall wellness. However, it’s important to consider preparation methods such as stewing with rich broths, which may increase calorie or sodium content depending on recipes. Fish maws are cherished for their ability to absorb flavors, making them both a culinary and nutritional staple in many cultures.
