Yet in so doing, they are virtually closing the door to a potentially lucrative market that has been given only minimal n in the Interestingly enough, in terms of market potential, shrimp were considered to be un- derutilized along the North Carolina coast prior to World War II. Today the shrimp fishery is the single valuable within the state, with a landed value of nearly $ million in 1976. Perhaps the greatest potential in the underutilized 'ish market lies overseas. According to Roger Ander- son, executive director of the Gulf and South Atlantic Fisheries Development Foundation, "Export markets »ill play a very, very important role in the develop- ment of these 'underutilized' ; Because markets have already been established in Europe and the Orient for such domestically underutilized species as squid, eel, skate and dogfish, marketing specialists suggest that greater attention must be to the export market. In light of the recently ex- uded fisheries jurisdiction, it is apparent that the ^gnificance of these markets will increase in the coming decades as new species of fish are exploited. Consumer attraction is the key to selling any product. In the case of underutilized fish, appeal is vital. For more than three years researchers in the NCSU Food Science Department with UNC Sea Grant support have been attempting to perfect an ap- pealing, high protein, low fat food product composed primarily of minced fish tissue. After countless tests, Sea Grant investigator Donald Hamann believes they may have found the key. Luncheon loaf, a
