The produced surimi was frozen at – 35°C in air conditioned freezer and stored at – 29°C. The total volatile bases nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), moisture and the total aerobic bacteria count in the frozen samples were found in the period of 30 days. On 150^th day of storage, it was determined that the total aerobic bacteria count was 4.24logcfu/g, TBA value was 2.015 mg malonaldehyde/kg, TVB-N value was 6.3 mg/100g, moisture value was 74.98 %. In conclusion, it was approved that the surimi could be produced from anchovy and that during 5 months of frozen storage spoilage was low and remained within the limits.
