agd68:
Anyone make fish glue ? How do you do it ?

Pat B:
I believe it is made by boiling fish air bladders.

mullet:
Sturgeon fish bladders are the best. James Parker told me that not all fish bladders make glue.

Gus:
Just finished reading Dr. Karpowicz book Ottoman Turkish Bows.


In it he lists several desirable fish and methods for rendering glue.
He notes that glue made from Sturgeon Bladders is Excellent.
Catfish, Gillbacker, and Croaker bladders all make good glue.
Carp bladders are too Greasy.

The Palate skins of Sturgeon were also used to make glue.
Almost any Large fish is worth trying.

mullet:
I wonder about those great big ones in Grouper?
