Fish as a source of ?rich food for poor people? can play an important role in improving food security and nutritional status. Evaluating the proximate composition of food fish is the most important aspect in fish nutrition. The present study deals with the nutritional and microbial qualities of commonly available edible marine fish Scomberomorus guttatus collected from landing centre (Pamban) and local market in Rameswaram, TamilNadu. From the results the physicochemical parameters (pH and moisture) of market samples of Scomberomorus guttatus are found to be higher than the sample collected from landing centre. Protein, carbohydrate, lipid and ash contents were analyzed and the results showed that landing centre samples had higher protein (18.2 g/100g) and carbohydrate contents (6.0 g/100g) than the market samples, whereas lipid (0.13 g/100g) and ash (1.78 g/100) contents were higher in market sample. Landing centre sample showed that the lowest total bacterial count of 0.38?105 cfu/g, than the market sample (0. 45?105 cfu/g).
