Abstract

Fish drying is an age old practice and was adopted as a practical method of preserving fish that have not been immediately consumed or sold in the fresh market. Improved fishing techniques and infrastructure resulted in increased fish catch, better marketing, processing and curing facilities. The advent of multiday trawling at the Visakhapatnam Fishing Harbour further boosted the availability of fish and its processing into value added products. However, drying still remains the cheapest and popular mode of fish preservation. Dried products are in great demand both within and outside the country and form an important source of protein rich food in various forms. Fish drying over the years, has grown from a subsistence kind of occupation to a full-fledged flourishing business.
