In my experience it is the bone because all animal bones have collagen which is how you make gelatin and aspics.

It is why soup with bones will become very firm when chilled and then liquefy when heated.

I don't find fish skins appealing so I would't add them to anything I was eating.

Pike skin. Ask your local fish store to add it to your order.

You are correct that fish skin is also high in collagen so that works as well but doesn't it have a stronger fish taste? I dislike fish skin in any form and generally get the skinless salmon. Very Happy

I also do pike skin. Either from fish store. Or our grocery has in freezer next to gefilte fish a tray with 2 rolls of pike skin on it. I use both rolls.
