A fish meat powder retaining the functional characteristics of fresh fish meat is obtained by mincing and kneading fresh meat or frozen SURIMI (frozen ground fish meat), then subjecting the minced and kneaded meat to a colloid mill treatment to form a sol, foaming the resultant fish meat sol in a vacuum and drying the fish meat foam to form a thin sheet at low temperatures.
