They are used particularly in the production of cask-conditioned beers, known as real ale, although there are a few cask ales available which are not fined using isinglass. Isinglass finings are used extensively as a processing aid in the British brewing industry to accelerate the fining, or clarification, of beer. The bladders, once removed from the fish and processed, are formed into various shapes for use. This was extensively used in Britain in place of Russian isinglass.

Isinglass is a substance obtained from the swimbladders of fish (especially sturgeon), used mainly for the clarification of wine and beer.
