The effect of wood types on the nutrient composition of smoked dried fish was carried out using Citharinus citharus. The wood types used for the experiment were Neem, Parkia and Terminalia. The fish samples were smoked dried to constant weight under the same conditions using the three wood types. Proximate nutrient composition of the fish samples and phytochemical analysis of the wood types was determined. Sensory evaluation on the organoleptic properties of the smoked fish samples was also conducted using a test panel to determine the general acceptability of the fish products in relation to the wood type used. Result of the proximate nutrient composition showed that fish sample smoked dried with Terminalia had the highest percentage of protein followed by that of Parkia. Fat content was highest in the fish sample smoked dried with Neem tree. The result of the phytochemical analysis of the wood types revealed the presence of high levels of tannin in Neem, tannins and phenolic compounds in Parkia. Organoleptic evaluation of the products showed that the fish samples smoked dried with Terminalia had the highest general acceptability.
