Systems and methods for preparing fish leather, which may comprise lionfish leather. A method of making lionfish leather may comprise cutting, using one or more guidelines, at least a portion of a lionfish body, wherein the guidelines are configured to facilitate removal of skin from of the lionfish body; removing, using the one or more guidelines, the skin from the lionfish body, wherein the removed skin defines a cut skin pattern based on at least the guidelines; and subjecting the removed skin to at least a tanning process to provide a lionfish leather.

A process for tanning leathers including a pre-tanning step and a tanning step is provided. In the pre-tanning step leathers are treated with a cationic active agent including a quatemized ester of a fatty acid and triethanolamine, or mixtures thereof and, subsequently, with an anionic active agent including tannins vegetable extracts and a natural or synthetic dispersant selected from the group consisting of lignosulfonates, distillation stillages, sulfonated disulfonic polymers, sulfonated naphthalene polymers or mixtures thereof, to obtain leathers with a shrinkage temperature of at least 65° C. The pre-tanning and tanning steps do not include treatment with aldehydes or aldehyde donor compounds and/or with metal salts.
