This study aimed to investigate 1. the process of development of semi readymade mackerel chili paste. 2. to study consumer acceptance of semi readymade mackerel chili paste product. 2 groups of population were used in the study: 10 experts and 100 students of Rajamangala University of Technology Krungthep. In selecting the basic formula for standard mackerel chili paste, Randomize Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used to evaluate the overall sensory quality, color, flavor, texture and appearance. A 9-point Hedonic Scale rating found that formula 1 had the highest score. The semi readymade mackerel chili paste was made by baking mackerel by hot air at 90 80 and 70 degrees Celsius for 3, 4 and 5 hours, respectively. Other ingredients were baked in hot air at 65 degrees Celsius for 3 hours then mixed with dried mackerel. It was found that drying mackerel in hot air oven using to degrees Celsius for 5 hours received highest score.
