What does fish glue look like?

Fish glue, also known as isinglass, comes in a few different forms, but the most common are:

1. Flakes:

* Looks like thin, translucent, slightly yellow flakes or sheets.

* Resembles gelatin sheets but is more opaque.

2. Powder:

* Fine, off-white powder.

* Can be slightly gritty to the touch.

3. Solution:

* A clear, slightly yellowish liquid.

* Viscosity can vary depending on concentration.

Regardless of form, fish glue should:

* Be odorless or have a faint, slightly fishy smell.

* Have a slightly rubbery texture when dry.

Appearance can vary slightly based on:

* Type of fish: Different fish produce different grades of isinglass.

* Processing method: Variations in how the glue is extracted and dried can affect appearance.

Note: Fish glue is a natural product, so some variation in appearance is normal.
