isinglass [I-zuhn-glas; Izing-glas] Transparent and pure, this form of gelatin comes from the air bladder of certain fish, especially the sturgeon. It's used as a FINING agent to help CLARIFY wine, although today's modern gelatin (made from beef and veal bones, cartilage, tendons, etc.) has replaced isinglass in most instances.
