Product type
Fish gelatin is a natural gelling agent derived from the collagen found in fish skins and bones. It is commonly used in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and texturizer in various products. Unlike bovine or porcine gelatins, fish gelatin is suitable for a wider range of dietary restrictions, including kosher and halal diets.
