Pangasius pangasius used in this research contained 18% protein, 4.25% lipid, 4.23% ash, 73.01% moisture. The raw fishes were of excellent freshness (Grade A, SDP was 1.86). Quality in terms of TVB-N and TMA-N was excellent. TVB-N was 13 mg/100g fish and TMA-N was 2.9 mg/100g fish. Heavy metal safety was studied by the determination of Cd, Pb and Cu concentration. Cd concentration was 0.21 ppm, Pb was nil and Cu concentration was 0.22 ppm which were within the maximum allowable limit.
