HealthKing New Zealand Wild Ling Fish Maw is made from swim bladders of wild Ling caught in New Zealand waters and naturally air-dried to preserve a dense, chewy texture. Each 500 g pack contains four sizable pieces intended for home cooking where the ingredient can be soaked and gently simmered until the flesh becomes tender and gelatinous.
How to prepare
Begin by rinsing the fish maw under cool water, then soak in room-temperature water until pliable; soaking time varies by thickness but expect several hours or overnight for fully dried pieces. After soaking, trim any irregular edges, blanch briefly if desired, and then add to soups or stews for long, gentle simmering. Avoid rapid, high-heat boiling that can toughen the pieces; slow simmering extracts collagen and yields a rich mouthfeel.
