The present invention also relates to a method of making a food product and includes reducing hydrolyzed fish muscle to a powdered form, and then mixing the fish muscle in powder form with a starchy and/or proteinaceous material to form a mixture which is subsequently subjected to high temperature extrusion processing to form a desired food product. The present invention further relates to processes for tenderizing or causing substantial or complete proteolytic degradation of animal muscle by applying onto the animal muscle, protease enzyme obtained from fish having the enzyme present therein.
