Q. Spoilage of Fish and other Sea Foods

Fish and other marine foods are second only to meat and poultry as a staple animal food around the world. India is one of the important fish producing countries due to its vast sea coast and several inland water sources. Fish is a regular diet in populations residing in the coastal districts of various States in India. The demand for inland fish is greater when compared to marine fish, which is generally exported. Most of the fish is consumed fresh in India, although dried and salted fish is also used widely.
