Abstract

A process for the production of a surimi which comprises distinguishing fish highly contaminated with sporozoans from less contaminated ones on the basis of the presence of cysts in fish meat; removing said highly contaminated fish; collecting fish meat from the residual fish; and leaching and dehydrating said fish meat. Thus a surimi of a high commercial value can be obtained by using fish which might be contaminated with sporozoans and thus frequently suffer from excessive softening as the starting material.
