<![CDATA[Catfish is one of the most widely cultivated freshwater fish and serves as an important source of animal protein. Beyond its flesh, catfish skin possesses potential as a raw material for developing nutritious and economically valuable food products such as fish-skin chips. This community service activity involved counseling and hands-on training for local catfish farmers and households. The program introduced techniques for processing catfish skin into chips, focusing on practical demonstrations and participatory learning. The activity revealed a strong interest and willingness among participants, particularly catfish farmers, housewives, and young women, to utilize catfish skin as a processed product. Participants actively engaged in the training sessions. The resulting product was catfish-skin chips with favorable characteristics, including crispiness, savory taste, and preferred seasoning and aroma. The activity successfully enhanced community knowledge, skills, and motivation in diversifying fish-based products. By introducing catfish-skin chips as a value-added product, the program demonstrated an effective way to transform aquaculture by-products into healthy, nutritious, and economically beneficial foods. ]]>
