PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient manufacturing method of a seafood extract, applicable to a wide range of raw materials with minimal restrictions from the state of preservation of raw material fish (fresh/freezing), quality (fat content), fish species and sizes, and the like, eliminating time-consuming pretreatment such as removal of heads and visceral organs.SOLUTION: The whole raw material fish minced without removal of heads and visceral organs is subjected to direct heating and solid liquid separation, so that a high-concentration extract having no bitter taste and oxidized flavor can be efficiently produced. In the case of having a high fat content, or in order to adjust taste components of umami and thick flavor, addition of water is preferred corresponding to the use purpose, depending on the kind of raw material fish. When water is added to raw material fish with a high fat content, an aqueous phase and an oil phase are easily separated, so that a high-purity fish oil with less deterioration can be efficiently recovered together with an extract.
