☆ How Chinese demand for fish maw (swim bladder) fuels a $52 million industry in Uganda
  + stars: | 2023-10-05 | by ( Chris Snyder | Emily Christian | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
Fish maw — the swim bladder of a fish — is one of the most expensive dried-seafood products in the world. But the main reason fish maw is so desired is its supposed medical value. Fish maw is also often recommended in China for postpartum recovery and to reduce post-surgery pain. But because of overfishing in East Asia, China now imports the majority of its bladders from other countries, like Uganda. In Uganda, fishers compete for Nile perch in Lake Victoria and ship them to China for extremely high prices.

☆ Why stockfish is so expensive
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Claudia Romeo | Emily Christian | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: 1 min
Stockfish is cod that is dried naturally, without using salt. But stockfish supply and prices are volatile. Sellers here in Nigeria have no control over how much fish is dried and how much of it gets here, because stockfish cannot be made in Nigeria. It is dried thousands of miles away in Norway, where there are entire operations dedicated to stockfish. So what does it take to get stockfish to Nigeria?
