Preparation of Fish Stick Samosa from the Fish( Katsuwonus pelamis)

Fish is a rich source of high-quality protein and essential minerals, important for addressing dietary protein deficiencies. This study aimed to develop a value-added snack, the “fish stick samosa,” by incorporating minced skipjack tuna into a traditional samosa. The filling, prepared with fish, spices, onions, green chilies, and herbs, was wrapped in wheat flour dough and deep-fried to achieve a crispy, golden texture. The method was simple, cost-effective, and feasible for both home kitchens and small-scale production. Nutritional analysis revealed a protein content of 18.5% and energy value of 402 kcal/100g. Sensory evaluation indicated high consumer acceptance, with over 90% panelists rating the taste positively. The fish stick samosa provides a convenient, nutritious, and appealing snack, promoting fish consumption and adding economic value to fisheries products.
