Processing of Soft Bone Milkfish

Abstract

Indonesia is a country rich in marine resources. One sector that plays a major role in Indonesia's economic growth is the fisheries sector. The economic development of countries with a maritime character is focused on fisheries. An example is milkfish which is a fish that is widely consumed in Indonesia. Milkfish is not only cheap, but also nutritious and delicious. One of the processed milkfish that is often found is pressed milkfish. In general, milkfish are traditionally smoked, preserved or smoked. This processing method only changes the composition, taste and texture of the fish meat and does not soften the milkfish bones. To overcome this bone disease, a special processing method called soft bone milkfish is used. Pressed milkfish/soft spines are processed water products containing fish ingredients which undergo the following process: Soft bone milkfish can be processed in two ways: traditional and modern. In traditional processing of soft bone milkfish, the tool used for cooking is usually a modified drum or large hump. The traditional processing of soft bone milkfish uses the principle of processing milkfish. Processing of softbone milkfish is traditionally done using the rotation principle.
