Instructions

1

Preparation

40 min.

Partially freeze fish fillets and slice into 2-3 mm thin pieces. Mix all spices with soy sauce and evenly coat the fish slices. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2

Dehydration

8-10 hrs.

Lay the slices individually without overlapping on the dehydrator trays. Set the dehydrator to 63 °C and dry for 8-10 hours until the chips are completely crispy and brittle.

3

Cooling & Storage

30 min.

Allow finished chips to cool completely on a wire rack. Only package airtight after fully cooling to prevent condensation and softening.

Pro Tip

Partially freeze the fish for 1-2 hours before slicing to achieve uniformly thin pieces. Store finished chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
