So, what is scale?
Scales are a unique and often overlooked food ingredient that come from the skin of various fish species. They are thin, translucent flakes that have a crunchy texture and a slightly briny taste, making them a great addition to dishes where texture and umami flavors are desired. Scales can be used to add a crispy coating to fish fillets, as a garnish for sushi or sashimi, or even as a topping for salads or soups. They are a rich source of collagen, protein, and calcium, making them a nutritious ingredient for a variety of culinary applications.
