How is the fish glue made?

Fish glue, in a narrow sense, refers to yellow croaker glue. Yellow croaker glue is actually the swim bladder of yellow croaker (swim bladder is the organ that regulates the ups and downs of fish in water).

The processor takes out the fish fat from the belly of the fish, cuts it from the big end with scissors, goes straight to the tail tip, cuts it one by one, then puts it in clear water to tear off the black fish gel coat on the back, digs out the red blood tendons in the gel coat and washes it. Then put a piece of fresh fish glue flat as white as jade on the bamboo woven fish glue cap. This piece is called glue. Sometimes, fresh fish glue is placed on the fish glue stool and blooms with the fish glue, and it is processed into a tape with a width of 10 cm and a length of more than one meter, which is called dragon glue. After drying, collect it. Translucent dry glue, clean color and rich pulp are the best. When cleaning the fish glue, the remaining fish glue clothes are scraped on walls, stones, etc. , dried and used as animal feed.

Fish glue is high in protein and low in fat, nutritious and delicious. It is mainly suitable for pregnant women, anemia, the elderly and those with deficiency of both qi and blood, but not for patients with high blood viscosity and hyperlipidemia.
