A hot air-assisted continuous infrared radiation-based drying system (80 kg/day) was developed for drying fish and fishery products. The performance of the dryer was evaluated using shrimp, anchovy fish, squid rings, and clam. The developed continuous hot air-assisted infrared dryer was found to be the most suitable dryer for all fish drying in combined IR-HA mode of operation than HA and IR drying.
