About Fried fish skin

Fried fish skin is a crispy and savory snack made from the outer layer of fish, often sourced from salmon or other fatty fish. This delicacy has its roots in Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese, Thai, and Japanese, where it is enjoyed as a crunchy accompaniment or snack. Typically seasoned with spices or coated in a light batter, fried fish skin offers bold flavor and a satisfying texture. It is a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and certain vitamins like B12, which contribute to heart and brain health. However, it is often fried in oil, which can increase its calorie and fat content, particularly saturated fats. Moderation is key when enjoying this snack as part of a balanced diet. With its blend of taste and nutrition, fried fish skin has gained popularity worldwide as both a comfort food and a nutritious treat.
