Notes:
Methods for preparing salt/fish cakes from the minced flesh of fish characteristic of the shrimp by-catch are described. Heat treatment of the salt/fish mix at 70°C for 2 hr prior to low temperature dehydration promoted a rapid initial exudation from the material, a factor which considerably reduced total drying time. Acceptability testing in Mexican communities indicated a significant preference (P〈0.01) for the preheated cakes when incorporated into local dishes. It is suggested that such processing is especially suitable for application to shrimp by-catch in developing countries.
