Isinglass From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Isinglass (disambiguation).
Swim bladder of a Rudd fish (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) Isinglass (pron.: /ˈaɪzɪŋɡl�s/ or /ˈaɪzɪŋɡlɑːs/) is a substance obtained from the dried swim bladders of fish. It is a form of collagen used mainly for the clarification of wine and beer. It can also be cooked into a paste for specialized gluing purposes.

This was extensively used in Britain in place of Russian isinglass. The bladders, once removed from the fish, processed and dried, are formed into various shapes for use.

Such peepholes were also used in "isinglass curtains" in horse-drawn carriages and early 20th century cars.
