Not all fish have thin, soft skin without scales or hair. While many fish species, such as catfish and eels, have smooth, scaleless skin, others are covered in scales that provide protection. Additionally, some fish have a tough outer layer or skin adaptations that serve various purposes. Therefore, the characteristics of fish skin can vary significantly among different species.
