Ingredients
- 500 grams Fish skin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Coconut oil or any high heat cooking oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by cleaning the fish skin thoroughly. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Cut the fish skin into strips of approximately 2-3 inches wide using a sharp knife, ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Rub this spice mixture over the fish skin strips, ensuring an even coating on all pieces.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). A deep fry thermometer will be useful for this.
Step 6
Carefully add the fish skin strips into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Fry each batch for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the strips are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried fish skin and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process for the remaining fish skin strips.
Step 9
Let the fried fish skin cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb crispy fried fish skin as a snack or appetizer!
