Fish scales are said to be rich in calcium, phosphorus, collagen and a host of other nutrients which help prevent osteoporosis though I have not found conclusive data backing this up.. many places use fish scales for making "fish scale jelly." which I have never tried.
not all fish scales from all fish are edible.. so please check to make sure you can eat the fish scales you choose to fry.
