We conducted a veterinary and sanitary examination of smoked fish sold by the retail network of the city of Ulan-Ude, the Republic of Buryatia. Organoleptic studies were carried out on five indicators such as appearance, color of the scaly cover, texture, taste and smell. Physicochemical studies determined the mass fraction of moisture in smoked fish. According to the results of laboratory studies, it was found that all 5 samples sold in the retail network of the city of Ulan-Ude corresponded to regulatory legal documents
