Fish maw is valued as a traditional tonic ingredient and can cost several hundred yuan per catty. Damage caused by poor storage can therefore mean a considerable loss.

1. Understand its storage needs. Moisture and insects are the main risks, so avoid the kitchen and other humid areas. Keep fish maw somewhere dry, sealed in a plastic or ceramic container with a desiccant. It may also be stored in a rice bin or sealed bag in a dry, well-ventilated place.

2. Balance ventilation with humidity control. During the humid 'returning south' season, keep fish maw sealed rather than exposing it to damp air. In hot, stuffy but dry weather, do not leave it unchecked in a container for six months or several years; take it out periodically to inspect and air it, or give it a brief spell in the sun.
