                                Gelatin is a staple in many kitchens, yet few know that a gelatin-like substance naturally occurs in fish. While the gelatin sold in stores is a processed animal byproduct, a similar gelling effect happens in fish through the breakdown of its connective tissue. Understanding this difference is key for home cooks, dietary considerations, and anyone interested in food science.
