花胶点心 Fish Maw Dessert From Papa

Omg...my father has prepared this dessert and store it into my freeze just now.

What's that?

Thanks papa for this lovely dessert.


花胶即鱼肚,是各类鱼鳔的干制品,以富有胶质而著名,其别名为花胶。胶又名鱼肚,是从鱼腹中取出鱼鳔,切开晒干后而成含有丰富的蛋白质、胶质等 ,食疗滋阴 、固肾培精 , 令人迅速消除疲劳及对外科手术病人伤口有帮助复完之效 。
花胶是将大型鱼的鱼鳔(控制鱼儿升降浮沉的器官)干历而成。顶级鱼肚排名依次是鱼胶之王:金钱鳘鱼胶(黄唇鱼)、白花胶(大白花鱼)、黄鲟胶(鲟鱼)、黄花胶(非洲鲈鱼)、鳘鱼胶(大鳘鱼)、门鳝胶(大门鳝)。
金钱鳘鱼胶 是为鱼胶之王,非常罕见,一般都被当做收藏品收藏起来,斤价在几十万以上,黄唇鱼这种鱼常年躲在深海洞里,不吃鱼饵,再加上数量稀少,所以正常情况下很难捕捞到它们。金钱鳘鱼胶功效当然非常多,以前曾被当做救命的东西,最最主要的是止血补血的作用,不过收藏的价值远远大于食用的价值。
花胶不仅是筵席名菜,还有相当的滋补作用和药用价值。《本草纲目》记载:花胶能补肾益精,滋养筋脉,能治疗肾虚滑精及产后(产后食品)风痉。花胶含丰富的蛋白质及胶质,具滋阴养颜,补血,补肾,强壮机能。腰膝酸软,身体虚弱,最适宜经常食用。

花胶燕窝鱼翅齐名,是“八珍”之一。花胶素有“海洋人参”之誉。它的主要成分为高级胶原蛋白、多种维生素及钙、锌、铁、硒等多种微量元素。

Tonight I was stumbled when asked the English translation of the Chinese gourmet item 花膠 (literally flower gel). I found out the answer to be "fish maw" at the end.


What is Fish maw?
To start off, fish maw is the dried swim bladders that come from a large fish like a croaker or sturgeon. In Asian culture, it is considered to be one of the top four delicacies of the sea (abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw). In appearance, dried fish maw is light, white in color, and have a spongy texture.
Taste
In terms of taste, dried fish maw is tasteless, which make it a good complementary addition to many dishes since it can absorb the flavors of other ingredients it is cooked with.
