There seems to be little visual information on tanning fish skin available, at least online. This is my attempt at tanning salmon skins (store-bought). Through piecing together bits of written information I have found here and there.
These skins have been soaking household ammonia for about 5 days...traditionally it was done in urine for about 2-weeks....Then THOROUGHLY washed! Urine over time breaks down into ammonia, which then breaks down any fat, oils, and flesh left on the skin.
Next, the skins are laid out to dry. They were laid on a damp towel, and tallow or rendered beef-fat rubbed into both sides. Then rolled up in the towel and wrung out really tightly. After realesing from the towel, they were allowed to dry a bit, then had to be worked a bit, but then they became very soft and supple.
