The method is essentially same for preparing all types of fish pickles and the manufacturing process is not very complicated and requires comparatively less capital investment. Pickles are vividly consumed in most maritime communities in Cameroon. Like any other vegetable or fruit pickles, fish pickles have also gained popularity in the recent past.
