Haltepertő are traditional Hungarian fish cracklings originating from Szeged. The dish is usually made with a combination of catfish, breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, oil, and salt. The catfish fillets are cut into smaller pieces or strips that are seasoned with salt and rolled in a combination of breadcrumbs, flour, and paprika.

The breaded pieces of catfish are fried in hot oil until golden brown and crisp. Haltepertő is typically served with raw onion slices and tomatoes on top. A lemon wedge is also often used for squeezing lemon juice over the fish cracklings.
