Introduction

Bengal Corvina Fish, locally known as Goli Mushka, is a highly valued seafood in Pakistan. It is popular for its soft, flaky meat and its excellent ability to absorb spices, making it ideal for traditional desi cooking like fry, curry, and BBQ.

What makes this fish even more special is its swim bladder (phota), also known as fish maw, which is considered a premium delicacy in international markets.

What Is Fish Maw?

Fish maw is the dried swim bladder of certain fish species. The swim bladder is a gas-filled organ that enables fish to control their buoyancy, allowing them to ascend or descend in the water column without expending energy. In culinary contexts, fish maw is valued for its gelatinous texture and ability to absorb the flavors of the dishes.
