How to store fish maw

As a highly nourishing ingredient, fish maw is relatively expensive to purchase, generally 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 of fish maw during storage are dampness and insect infestation. Therefore, it is recommended not to store it in the kitchen, as the humidity there is high, and any damp place in the house is unsuitable. Fish maw should be stored in a dry place. It can be kept in containers such as plastic boxes or ceramic jars with desiccants 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, well-ventilated area.

2. Next, ensure good ventilation, but some may ask, "Didn't you say it needs to be dry? Won't taking it out for ventilation make it damp?" This seems contradictory but is not. For example, during the "return to the south" season in the south, when the air is humid, fish maw should be sealed and not taken out for ventilation. However, if the weather is hot and stuffy, your fish maw should not be kept sealed in a container for six months to a year or two. Instead, take it out for ventilation and inspection. Alternatively, you can take it out and sun it to air it out.
