Fish Maw, Sea Snail & Silkie Chicken Stew

Why people make this soup

Among the prized delicacies of Chinese cuisine — abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw — fish maw stands out for its remarkable collagen content. Modern research backs what traditional practitioners have long observed: high-collagen foods tend to be deeply nourishing for the skin, joints, and connective tissues. Nourilo combines fish maw with sea snail (valued for its yin-nourishing, lung-moistening properties) and silkie chicken (known for its liver- and kidney-supporting qualities) in a slow, gentle double-boil that draws out maximum nourishment. The result is a richly satisfying soup that makes an excellent restorative after illness, physical depletion, or major life events like childbirth.
