Abstract
Red or dark meat portions of whole fish are injected into light meat fillets or loins of fish to produce a palatable, nutritious fish product. The process comprises comminuting the red meat, trim, including bellies, carcass and skin of the fish to form a minced meat mass that is colored with a heat stable dye to resemble the natural color of the fish, setting or cooking, decoloring and micro cutting the minced meat and pumping or injecting the minced meat into fillet or loin portions of fish up to about 108% to about 150% of the original weight of the loin portion. The loin portions injected with minced meat may then be cooked to form a product that has chewy texture, aroma and flavor of loins or fillet portions of fish.
