  Comparative effects of soaking Citharinus citharus with extracts from two spices (Black pepper=Piper guineense and Ginger=Zingiber officinale) prior to oven drying using Nutrients and Organoleptic assessments as parameters were studied. Seventy two freshly caught Moonfish weighing 875 ± 25 g were killed, weighed, gutted and washed thoroughly with portable tap water and were divided into two batches of 36 fish each. Each batch was sub-divided into 3 groups of 12 fish per treatment made up of a triplicate, i.e., 4 fish per replicate in a completely randomized design. The fish in first batch was divided into 3 treatments of 12 fish and were immersed for 30 minutes in composite solution containing 3% brine and extract of Piper guineense at 0%, 2% and 5% concentration coded as BP0, BP2 and BP5 respectively; the control treatment contained no Black pepper (BP0).
