Fifty samples of smoked fish were obtained from some markets in Lagos and these were analyzed for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio sp. and Listeria monocytogenes. All the samples tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus, 27 samples for Vibrio sp. and none for Listeria monocytogenes. This study reveals that the smoked fish sold in Lagos, could be a potential source of food borne bacterial pathogens and thus the need for improvement in processing and handling are required.
