The thirty-two fish were shared into two equal parts: sixteen were used to determine the nutritional properties of the raw fish and the other sixteen were divided into two, each part being eight fish. Eight fish were prepared (eviscerated, beheaded and washed) and dried using smoking kiln at a temperature range of 70°C-85°C for 20 hours and the remaining eight were prepared and dried using electric oven at a temperature of 110°C for 45 minutes.
