Notes:
Frozen fish fillets from commercial outlets representing 26 producers were analyzed for total aerobic plate counts, coliform organisms, fecal streptococci, and eoagulase-positive staphylococci. Total plate counts ranged from 1300 to 1,800,000/g; 72% were below 200,000/g. Coliform counts were low (0–190/ g). Only 14 of the 78 samples contained coliform organisms. Presumptive fecal streptococci counts were usually appreciably higher than coliform counts, and in only a few samples were none found. The highest count noted was 19,000 organisms/g. Coagulase-positive staphylococci were present in 25 Samples, representing 17 producers. Unlike in a previous study on frozen shrimp, half of the egg-yolk-positive micrococci were not coagulase-positive.
