Features: Fish maw is a dried product made from fish bladders. "Clear water fish maw" refers to high-quality fish maw that is translucent under light, without dark purple or black blood spots, and has clear textures. African fish maw is made from the bladder of bass fish. Bass fish maw tubes are the most common type of fish maw on the market today. Larger ones can be used for braising, while smaller ones are ideal for soups, offering flexibility in cooking. Since fish maw is rich in protein, many pregnant women use it for nourishment during the mid-to-late stages of pregnancy.
