What is spider glue? How can you identify spider glue?
Spider maw is a precious type of fish maw, mainly produced in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other places. Spider maw has a unique shape. An unopened spider maw resembles a hammer (a "T" shape). Beauty enthusiasts passionate about skincare often find it similar to a famous international beauty device brand. Both sides of the head protrude outwards in a circle, accompanied by 2 to 6 short, thin "feelers." Its overall shape resembles a spider, hence the name "spider maw." Because of the "small feelers" on its head, spider maw is also known as "small golden coin" (小金錢), as Teochew people have always highly regarded fish maw with "feelers," especially the golden coin fish maw.
How to distinguish spider maw?
1. Shaped like a "hammer"
Unopened spider maw has a protruding, special tubular shape, making it easier to identify. The overall shape resembles a "hammer," with several short, small "feelers" on its head and a "fascia" on its back.
2. Spider maw comes in male and female.
The male spider maw's belly is "thick on one side and thin on the other," with an unexposed "rib" in the middle, while the female spider maw's belly does not have one.
