Fish scales are mainly composed of calcium carbonate, bone-like hydroxyapatite, and collagen. When collected, washed, and dried, they can be stored indefinitely. They can be used fried as a crunchy element for fish laap dishes or as a new crispy ingredient in your creative cooking.
How to prepare dried fish scales วิธีการเตรียมเกล็ดปลาแห้ง
Collect the fish scales from one type of fish. For example, freshwater tilapia or saltwater snapper fish are good sources. Do not mix scales from different fish species.
Rinse under running water.
Soak the scales in 5% white vinegar for 2-3 days, which will help acid cook any tissue that remains attached to the scales.
After soaking in vinegar, wash the scales thoroughly, ensuring that all organic material has been completely removed.
Allow to dry completely before storing.
