The quality of food consumption of the Indonesian, in general, has not reached an ideal point. This lack is caused by the domination of carbohydrate food groups, especially grains, while coupled with a lack of vegetable and animal protein sources and a lack of vegetables and fruits as fiber as well as vitamins and minerals sources. In Indonesia, rice is still the dominant source for carbohydrates with 98.8 kg/cap/year, compared to other sources, such as sago which is still low at 0.5 kg/cap/year (Indonesia, 2015). Sago is very potential to be developed and utilized as an alternative food substitute for rice which has high calcium, phosphorus, iron, and carbohydrate content. So far, sago has received less attention than starch, corn and soybean commodities, due to the lack of processed innovation. Starch is an important storage product in plants acting as the main energy source in the human diet. This product is rich in carbohydrates but it has a low protein content. Therefore, it is important to improve the nutritional value of sago noodles. According to Litaay (2012), starch sago has high carbohydrates content of 83.35% but low protein content of 0.27%. The low sago protein content can be enhanced by the fortification of animal protein derived from fish. Fish is a very good source of animal protein because it has a high nutritional content and is beneficial for health. Consumption of fish is important because fish has a chemical composition with many health benefits (Brito et al., 2019). Marques et al. (2020) reported the Brazil has a level of fish consumption is below the world average. Considering nutritional fish the high, then one of the solution make fish into burger products. Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) is the one commodity that is quite popular in the community and has a high economic value. Skipjack tuna can be used as a source of protein in the manufacture of dry noodles to improve the nutritional value of the product.
