About Fish flour

Fish flour is fish processed into a finely milled, flour-like ingredient. The name identifies a form rather than a particular fish species, recipe, or degree of refinement, so the source fish and processing details can vary.

It may be encountered as an ingredient in food preparations or other products, depending on the product and intended use. Its appearance is generally a dry, powdery material; flavour and colour can vary with the fish and processing, and should not be assumed from the name alone.
