The Pasie Nan Tigo Village in Padang is a coastal area with significant fisheries potential, including the Kase fish (Thryssa dussumieri). The community’s utilization of Kase fish is still dominated by the sale of fresh fish and dried Kase fish, resulting in limited product diversification and value addition. This community service activity aims to enhance the utilization of Kase fish through product diversification, packaging development, and improved understanding among partners regarding production management, legal compliance, and marketing. The activity was carried out through the identification of partners’ challenges, product and packaging development, discussions, outreach, and training in Kase fish processing. The results of the activity showed that Kase fish was successfully developed into four processed products: crispy Kase fish, Kase fish crackers, floss, and nuggets. Proximate analysis indicated that crispy Kase fish and Kase fish crackers (as the main introduced products) had protein contents of 14.55% and 13.33%, respectively. The activities also resulted in the development of product packaging and labels, training on legal compliance and marketing, and the provision of supporting facilities. These activities offer an alternative for utilizing Kase fish into value-added products and support the development of fisheries processing businesses in the Pasie Nan Tigo Village
