Bakasang is a fermented sauce-paste of North Sulawesi made from skipjack tuna viscera and salt. Traditionally the viscera are salted in a bottle and left in the sun for a few days until they turn to liquid. Studies have tested salt levels from 10 to 30 % and warm temperatures to set a standard method.

Bakasang is a fermented sauce-paste of North Sulawesi made from skipjack tuna viscera and salt. Traditionally the viscera are salted in a bottle and left in the sun for a few days until they turn to liquid. Studies have tested salt levels from 10 to 30 % and warm temperatures to set a standard method. Made in 4 steps over 4.8 days. The longest step, bottle and leave in the sun until liquid, takes 4.8 days (Fatimah F 2021) and runs at 32.9 °C (Fatimah F 2021). Salt is 20–30 % (Fatimah F 2017). Micrococcus, Streptococcus and Pediococcus, predominant in a laboratory bakasang made from small fish does most of the fermenting.
Here bakasang is made from skipjack tuna guts, not whole fish, though Yanti and Dali (2013) say small fish are also used. The salted guts are left in a bottle in the sun for a few days until they turn to liquid.
Laboratory bakasang from small Engraulis fishEngraulis japonicus with salt and glucose at 37 °C for 40 days; pH fell throughout and soluble nitrogen rose.
Bakasang nike (Kakas, Minahasa)Small nike fish mixed with hot cooked rice and packed into bottles; the 3-day sample from Paslaten village had no fixed rice-to-fish ratio, a blackish colour, pH 5.18 and 1.906 % total acid (Yanti and Dali 2013).
Safety
Yanti and Dali (2013) note that traditional bakasang lacks a standard method. In their 15-day laboratory batch of tuna viscera the pH fell from 5.82 to 5.21 as lactic acid built up. Skipjack is a tuna, a fish the FDA names for histamine (scombrotoxin) poisoning. The FDA says histamine can form during salting and fermenting until a product is shelf-stable, and that heat does not remove it. The FDA also says botulism spores are present in fish viscera, which is why it advises gutting fish before salting or fermenting. Bakasang is made of viscera, and its pH ranged from 5.66 to 6.73 across the 2017 trial treatments, far above the pH of 4.6 or less that the FDA lists as one botulism control for shelf-stable fish products. The FDA also lists 20 % water phase salt or more as a control for shelf-stable salted products. The trials added 10–30 % salt, but the sources we read do not give bakasang's water phase salt. The FDA says that without gutting, toxin can form during processing even with strict temperature control. This page records a practice, not a tested home recipe.
