Condiment products such as fish sauce, soy sauce and seasoning sauce are popular among
people who live in Southeast Asia. Normally, fish sauce is made from marine fish such as Stolephorus
spp.. Nowadays, raw materials for fish sauce processing are scarce and costs have increased, so the
objective of this study was to see if surimi waste could be used to reduce the production costs for fish
sauce. The quality of the fish sauce made from surimi waste passed the standard of the Ministry of
Public Health Notification Number 203 (Fish Sauce) which sets the minimum protein and NaCl level at
9 and 200 g/l, respectively. The fish sauce produced had average protein content in the range 11.14-
15.33 g/l, with sodium chloride content in the range 241-345 g/l.
