Shark Fin–Style Fish Maw Soup (花胶鱼翅羹)

A Luxurious Alternative to Traditional Shark Fin Soup

At Justs Seafood Restaurant in Johor Bahru, our Shark Fin–Style Fish Maw Soup (花胶鱼翅羹) offers the same exquisite texture and banquet-style indulgence as shark fin soup — without harming marine life. Crafted from premium fish maw (花胶), crab meat, and a golden, slow-simmered broth, this sustainable creation delivers all the prestige, aroma, and nourishment of a fine Chinese celebration dish.

🌊 A Modern Take on a Timeless Classic

For centuries, shark fin soup symbolized honor, prosperity, and abundance at weddings and corporate banquets. Today, conscious diners choose Fish Maw Soup, which replicates the same silky texture and layered mouthfeel while promoting ocean-friendly dining. Our chefs carefully blend fish maw, shredded crab meat, dried scallops, and egg white ribbons into a rich stock made from chicken, pork bones, and Jinhua ham — producing the signature 羹 thickness prized in Cantonese cuisine.

🐟 Fish Maw — The Collagen Jewel

Fish maw is the dried swim bladder of large fish and is renowned for its natural collagen, elasticity, and ability to absorb broth. When prepared by our chefs, it transforms into silky strands that mimic the luxurious texture of shark fin while offering real nutritional value.

“It’s not imitation — it’s innovation — preserving tradition with respect for the sea.”

🦀 Ingredients & Preparation

1. Superior Stock Base – Chicken bones, pork ribs, Jinhua ham, dried scallops simmered 4 hours.
2. Add Sea Treasures – Fish maw, crab meat, and scallop threads.
3. Thicken Elegantly – Cornstarch slurry creates the iconic shark-fin-style viscosity.
4. Finish with Fragrance – Whisked egg white, Shaoxing wine, and white pepper complete the dish.

The result — a luxurious, golden broth that glistens with collagen and comfort.
