Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g fish skin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 4 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
Rinse the fish skin under cold water to remove any remaining flesh. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
Cut the fish skin into strips or bite-sized pieces according to your preference.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Season the fish skin pieces evenly with the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the fish skin.
Carefully place the fish skin pieces in the hot oil, skin side down. Fry in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding.
Fry the fish skin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, adjusting the heat to prevent burning.
Remove the crispy fish skin with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy the healthy and irresistible crunch of Whole30 Crispy Fried Fish Skin!
