Fish gelatine is the secret ingredient used by Master Chefs and Pâtisseries around to world to prepare delicious and award-winning desserts, entremets, cream cakes, mousses, terrines, candies and hearty dishes.

Instructions For Culinary Use:
Bloom (activation): Sprinkle gelatine over 5 to 6x its weight in cold water (eg: 10g gelatine in 50-60 ml water).
Let stand for 5-10 minutes to absorb and swell.
Gently heat (40-60 C) until fully dissolved.
Setting ratios:
Firm jelly: ~20 g gelatine per 1 L liquid.
Soft, creamy texture (mousses/panna cotta): ~10-15 g/L.
Gummies/candies: ~ 25-30 g/L for chewiness.
Chill for 4-6 hours (or overnight) for full set.
Warnings:
- Never add to boiling liquid directly without first blooming in cold water - it will clump and lose strength.
- Do not boil after dissolving, high heat degrades gelling strength.
- Acidic fruits (pineapple, papaya, kiwi) contain enzymes that destroy gelatine's gelling ability unless heated first.
