<![CDATA[The development of e-commerce in the current era has been so rapid that buying and selling transactions are carried out online through various media, including websites and applications. With so many products available in the application, users often feel confused when choosing the product they want to buy, so it takes a long time to choose a product to avoid regret after purchasing it. In this study, a web-based recommendation system was created for the process of recommending salted fish with the aim of making it easier for customers to choose the type of salted fish. The Collaborative Filtering method was used, employing Pearson Correlation as a tool to calculate the similarity value between users, then using Weighted Sum to calculate the prediction value. Collaborative Filtering often experiences the cold start problem, where the system has difficulty providing recommendations to users who do not yet have a transaction history. Therefore, the author proposes a popularity-based strategy as a measure to overcome this problem. Based on testing, the author obtained results of MAE = 0.63 and RMSE = 0.81 based on train-test split results with a data distribution of 80:20, 80% of the dataset for training and 20% of the dataset for testing with an accuracy of 70-80%, indicating that this system works well. This system has been tested using the Blackbox method.]]>
