For the development of kimchi seasoning, fish sauces were desalted using electrodialyzer and some chemical components were analyzed. The salt content of fish sauce was adjusted to 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 2% and pH, total nitrogen (TN) content, amino nitrogen (AN) content and $NH_3$ content was determined. During desalting process pH was increased and TN, AN content also increased. But $NH_3$ content was decreased. It was surposed that $NH_3$ was eliminated with $Na^+$ because similar charge characteristic. In conclusion, using electrodialyzer fish sauce could be desalted to less than 2% and salt and moisture was co-eliminated.
