Swim Bladder

Sea Trout swim bladder is historically more relevant to glue and clarification than everyday plates, though cleaned bladders can be braised for gelatinous texture in specialty cookery. Clean thoroughly; dry for historical isinglass-style use or braise until translucent. Expect to meet this cut rarely outside experimental whole-fish kitchens.
