Swim Bladder

Mackerel swim bladder is not a mainstream table product. Cleaned and dried bladders of some fish enter fish-maw or isinglass traditions; mackerel is rarely the preferred species. Skip unless you have a specific food-grade preparation path. Focus culinary effort on fillets, collars, and roe instead.
