Abstract
Blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) is similar to other gadoid species in chemical composition. Eating quality is good and close to that of cod and related species. It is also an excellent raw material for pet food, fish feed, and edible fish powders.Production of minced block seems to be a more promising processing method than fillet block and applicable machinery is available for this purpose. Minced blue whiting is darker in appearance than most other whitefish products and is stable for only 3 mo in frozen storage. Bleaching adversely affects the eating quality.Salting and drying of gutted blue whiting as well as air drying of unsalted fish is under investigation.
