According to the data provided by the representative organization of the Romanian aquaculture sector, a production of 10,000 tons of fish is estimated for 2024. The fish processing industry is known for its high quantities of by-products, and in these circumstances, it is necessary to adopt the most correct approach to their disposal or recycling to prevent the challenges related to environmental management. The circular economy has been of increasing interest in recent years as the exploitation of fish waste represents a sustainable strategy for realizing a circular bio-economy by producing high-value-added compounds. This study aimed to obtain a concentrated soup from fish waste (bony skeleton, head, and skin) and to incorporate this concentrate into a paste obtained from processed fillets. Determinations were carried out to establish the gross chemical composition, color, and pH of the experimental batches, as well as the acceptability of this product to potential consumers.
