A study was conducted to investigate the possibility of processing seasoned and semi-dried right-eyed flounder(Pseudopleuronectes herzensteini) and to examine its quality during storage at $\pm$3$\circ$C by analyzing the factors such as moisture contents, pH, volatile basic nitrogen(VBN), viable cell count and peroxide value (POV). For processing of the seasoned and semi-dried product, optimum conditions of drying temperature and drying time were 20$\circ$C and 4 hrs, respectively, under 50$\pm$5% of relative humidity and 2 m/sec of air blast speed. The shelf-lives of the products by vacuum-packaging method in nylon/polyethylene/linear low density polyethylene (0.015/0.045/0.040 mm) laminated film bag were 35 and 16 days during storage at -3$\circ$C and 3$\circ$C, respectively.
