Fish maw gas bladder is an internal gas -filled organs that helps the fish mobility.
When you buy fish maw, there are two types. First is the dried one and the other is the dried-fried one. If you buy the dried one, you need to fry it first. Or you can spend a little extra money with less work and buy the one that already fried for you. I love this soup everytime I attend a Chinese or Vietnamese wedding.
