Abstract: A material mainly composed of ground fish meat is molded into the form of a strip, which is then set by heating. After the material has been solidified, it is then cut into the form of filaments. A plurality of these filaments are bundled and integrated without use of any binder but by applying a combination of a predetermined uniform peripheral pressure and local extra pressure to form peripheral circular recesses on cylindrically compacted material at a constant interval. Under this pressed state, the material is heated by boiling to obtain a cylindrical material. The cylindrical material is then cut along the center of each peripheral annular recess to obtain a food product resembling the scallop meat and having round opposite end corners.
