Money fish maw, also known as Small-Bearded Money fish maw, is the swim bladder of the bahaba fish. It is considered the finest type of fish maw and is known as the "King of Fish Maw." This is the highest grade of fish maw, extremely rare, and typically collected as a collectible. Its price per catty starts from several hundred thousand, and for large, thick pieces, it can reach over a million.

The bahaba fish, also known as money maw fish, is a species endemic to China. It prefers to live in waters where saltwater and freshwater meet. Historically, its main habitats were along the coast of Guangdong and in the fishing grounds of southern Fujian, as well as islands like Nanao Island at the confluence of the East and South China Seas.
This fish usually hides in deep-sea caves all year round and does not take bait. Coupled with its rarity, it is normally very difficult to catch. Many fishermen may not encounter or even see one for three generations. Currently, the bahaba fish is listed as a national second-class protected animal and is on the verge of extinction.
