The biochemical and microbial qualities of salted and sun dried seafoods of Cuddalore coast were analysed. The spoilage indicators such as TMA-N, TVB-N and FFA were above the acceptable limit. The microbial load was high. Among the bacterial pathogens, only E.coli was isolated. Six fungal species coming under four genus were also detected.
