Now, we all know how fish can have a short shelf life. Indeed, the fresher the catch, the better. You’d be giving yourself second-rate fish product otherwise. Sethi SA, Branch TA, Watson R (2010) Global fishery development patterns are driven by profit but not trophic level. Proc Natl Acad Sci 107(27):12163–12167. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1003236107 Sonar operators, using the newly developed sonar technology during World War II, were puzzled by what appeared to be a false sea floor 300–500 metres deep at day, and less deep at night. This turned out to be due to millions of marine organisms, most particularly small mesopelagic fish, with swimbladders that reflected the sonar. These organisms migrate up into shallower water at dusk to feed on plankton. The layer is deeper when the moon is out, and can become shallower when clouds obscure the moon. [21] Fish maws are a delicacy in east Asia and far less is known about the associated catch and trade than for the other two big luxury marine products in the study. The value of fish maws is so high that it is frequently referred to as the “cocaine of the sea” by those in the trade. In comparison to an average fish weighing more than 50 kg, which can fetch up to USD10 per kg, the swim bladder has a much higher unit value, earning approximately USD190 per kg.

Dried fish maw or 黃花膠 usually comes from croaker. Croaker maw has higher nutritional value and is better than fried maw for nourishing soups. If you have a steam oven, you can even double-boil this soup. But the most common appliance in a Chinese household is the slow-cooker and this is what I used for this recipe. Enjoy! Alternatively, people with a Qi Deficiency in the Spleen or stomach can also mix fish maw with herbs like Astragalus root, ginseng or Codonopsis root ( Dang Shen). Consuming a herbal formulation that includes these herbs can help nourish qi and invigorate the Spleen. Bring to a boil 1.5 L water + 10 red dates + 3 scallops + 1 ps dried cuttlefish + 600 g chopped cabbage. Simmer for 3 hours. Add 30 g soaked fish maw 10 minutes before serving. Season with salt.Tear napa cabbage into large pieces Instead of chopping napa cabbage, sometimes I merely break bigger leaves into half. That is because when cooking for long hours, small pieces of cabbage can turn mushy and won’t look appetising.

Fish maw is one delicious food you and the whole family can partake in. That’s assuming you’re getting your supply right. Cooking the soup in the slow cooker also extracts all the goodness (including the collagen) from the bones.

Similarly, collagen fibers can accumulate damage over time, thus decreasing their ability to function correctly. Consequently, damage to collagen fibers or low collagen levels in the body can weaken the skin’s structural support. The skin will lose firmness and volume and start to wrinkle. To keep up with our busy lifestyle, I enhance classic recipes using science & modern appliances to create easy, healthy & tasty meals.
