How to store fish maw?
Fish maw is a highly nourishing ingredient, and its market value is relatively expensive, typically reaching several hundred dollars per catty. If fish maw is not stored properly and is damaged, it would be a great pity.
1. First, understand the storage characteristics of fish maw. The biggest enemies during storage are moisture and insect infestation. Therefore, it is recommended not to store it in the kitchen, as the humidity there is high, and any humid place at home is unsuitable. Fish maw should be stored in a dry place. It can be stored in plastic boxes, ceramic containers, etc., with a desiccant at the bottom and sealed. It can also be stored in a rice container or sealed in a plastic bag and kept in a dry and ventilated place.
2. Next, pay attention to keeping the environment ventilated. However, some people might wonder, "Didn't you say it needs to be dry? Won't ventilation make it damp?" This seems contradictory but isn't. For example, during the "return to the south" season when the air is humid in the south, fish maw should be sealed and not taken out for ventilation. However, if the weather is stuffy, your fish maw shouldn't be kept cooped up in a container for six months to a year. Instead, take it out for ventilation and inspection. Or, you can even sun it to air it out.
