Smoking has been used as a method of preserving food throughout history. Across cultures and continents, fish and meats have been smoked by people so that they could be stored for long periods. Smoked fish is known for its tasty, smoky flavor. No additional condiments are needed to enjoy it because it is packed full of its own natural flavor. Smoking fish may seem like a hassle, but in reality, it is one of the easiest ways to prepare fish. Smoking fish produces a meal that is tender, delicious, and loaded with flavor. The researchers’ aimed to develop a process and formulation in preparing flavored smoke fish hence this study was proposed. The researchers determined the correct procedure in preparing two (2) sample treatments and conducted two (2) replications for each treatment. The general acceptability of flavored smoked fish was rated moderately liked by the respondents in all replications in terms of its appearance, taste/ flavor, aroma/ smell, texture and mouthfeel, thus, as a result of the study paved the potential of flavored smoked fish and further exhibited the feasibility for production as additional source of income for fisher folks.
