This study reviews the preparation process, properties (mechanical properties, thermal properties, barrier properties, etc.), modification methods, and applications of fish scale collagen films. The performance of the film can be significantly improved through molecular blending, but it is critical that the factors have not been studied in depth. Future research must solve the problems of film modification mechanism, aging mechanism, edibility, biodegradability, barrier property, safety, etc. from the perspective of industrial scale and commercialization, so as to make fish scales collagen films industrially feasible.
