Abstract
Value addition is one of the most prominent approaches among the other processing techniques in the fish and seafood industry with tremendous market values as well as employment opportunities. It is a good option for foreign earnings also by exporting of value-added products. Besides the profitable utilization of low valued fish, it can fulfil the consumers’ demands of convenient foods with quality assurance and longer shelf life. With mentioned intention, various diversified fish and seafood products can be prepared. Thus, the nation’s economic growth will be gradually increased with production and distribution (through domestic or international trade) of different ready-to-eat or ready to cook or ready to serve products.
