Development of Regional Excellence Potentials Through Food Diversification Based on Local Resources

Abstract

Maros is one of the districts in the South Sulawesi Province which is the center of fisheries business development. Maros Regency as a coastal and marine area has the potential to develop land and sea fisheries that are quite large with the largest production of fishery products in ponds as a local resource that is a type of milkfish. Milkfish from Maros Regency is an excellent product that is well known and sought after by the public both local consumers and from various regions because it has a good taste. Milkfish are mostly served in the processed form with various kinds of processed products. Diversification of processed milkfish products begins with removing the thorns that are very much found throughout the body of milkfish which is quite troublesome if consumed especially on small milkfish, namely by applying the technology of pulling thorns to produce fresh milkfish without disturbing thorns. Fresh fish without thorns is ready to be processed into various products, namely shredded milkfish products and milkfish meatballs. The products of milkfish are extracted from thorns, shredded milkfish and milkfish meatballs packed in vacuum packaging so that they can last longer and can be used as regional excellence products from Maros Regency.
