Thanks for your co operation, please what is the normal temperature for cat fish drying?

[@akinfish.]

Is your temperature gauge in Fahrenheit or Celcius ?

[@segunajayi7080]

Just watched U Akin fish , I really appreciated your points , I do breed catfish on a small scale of two thousand but I don't know how to smoke yet properly , my smoked catfish comes out soft not hard , what do U think I'm doing wrong

[@akinfish.]

Thank you, Segun. From what I can tell from your statement I believe there's still moisture in your fish. The less moisture there is, the drier and harder the fish becomes. This also allows the fish to preserve well without molds.

[@florenceezeudo4775]

Pls Sir, how do you reduce the moisture before you start drying?

[@akinfish.]

@@florenceezeudo4775 the essence of drying is to reduce moisture. Unless you mean the slime on the body of the fish? Which extensive rinsing with salt , gets off.

[@francoisaf7345]

Thank you for the tips. Is it recommended to grow your fish to 1-1.2kg and then smoke them? What would the market price be for those?

[@akinfish.]

You're welcome Francois. No, large sized fish dont smoke so well, so that's why they are cut in chunks. If you want full sized fishes then the biggest size should be about 400grams.

[@olaotanolumilua8646]

Thank you for sharing I found this really helpful. Please can you give a breakdown of how much it cost to start fish processing. Cost of fish- 500 minimum Packaging Kiln Labor etc.

[@alexeagle9113]

Weldone Sir.. Pls what's the required temperature for the oven and how long should it be maintained

[@akinfish.]

Thank you Alex, the temperature should modulate between 80-100 degrees for a stretch of time.

[@BUFOINTL]

Pls at how many months do you process your fish ? I just subscribed 🔻 I heard some people do 3months

[@akinfish.]

Melange is the optimum size of smoked fish. I do 3 months as well. However, that is 3 months from Juveniles in most cases.

[@temitopeadeyeye8281]

Thanks for this tips. Pls what is the cost of getting this oven?

[@akinfish.]

I'm sure you can get someone close to you. If not, you can reach out to us.

[@mannaselonel1209]

Good day sir we have fishes we bought in february they were still small but they are not as big this your melange this is more than 4 months and we feed them well what could be the cause??

[@akinfish.]

It is easy to say they are runts. Runts wouldn't grow no matter how you feed them. However, I would probably be more interested to find out if they are well spaced, if their water is always clean etc... because I personally believe those are the first growth metrics

[@adamssadik6881]
