or Fish Gelatin, a tough, whitish, translucent substance. prepared from the air, or swim, bladder of the sturgeon, cod, and similar fishes. Ru ia, Brazil, and the United States furnish the bulk of the world’s supply. It is employed in fining liquors and the manufacture of fish glue, and in the household in the preparation of jellies. blane-mange, and similar de erts. Gelatin from animal ti ue has, however, largely supplanted it in cookery on account of its considerably lower price (see GELATIN).
