Abstract
ABSTRACT Indonesia, as a maritime country, has abundant fishery resources, including in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh Province. Tuna and cob are the dominant fish species in Gampong Ujong Blang, Banda Sakti District, a key fishing center. However, excessive fish catches often exceed local demand, forcing fishermen to distribute them to nearby areas like Lhoksukon and Bireun. Those without delivery access struggle to sell their catch, leading to spoilage. Meanwhile, local fish processing industries lack facilities and knowledge to enhance fish value, resulting in tuna being consumed quickly before quality declines. To address this, processing tuna into shredded products presents a viable solution. "MANGANTA" shredded tuna offers a cheaper, lower-cholesterol alternative to beef floss. Enhanced with regional spices and fish meat separator technology, it has the potential to become an Acehnese food icon, creating business opportunities while addressing challenges faced by fishermen and processors. Keywords: Shredded tuna, MANGANTA, food technology, Acehnese spices, fish meat separator, innovation, fisheries industry.
