Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Start by cleaning the fish skin thoroughly. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Cut the fish skin into strips of approximately 2-3 inches wide using a sharp knife, ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Rub this spice mixture over the fish skin strips, ensuring an even coating on all pieces.
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.
Carefully add the fish skin strips into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
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.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining fish skin strips.
Let the fried fish skin cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb crispy fried fish skin as a snack or appetizer!
