    The modified technology of fish drying in Madura has been made. The drying system consists of some locally material such as: skin coconut, hardplex, heat resistant plastic, glass and wood. The system dimension is 1,5m x 2,4m x 1,88 m and has capacity between 100 - 150 kg of fish. The dryer has drying rate to be than that of samples dried on open air drying around 3 times faster. So the drying technology showed that, this dryer was sufficiently effective in drying the fish. The rate of reducing moisture content of whole fish in the dryer 40 percent faster than traditional drying (open air drying) and fish fillet 37 percent faster than traditional one. The rate of water removes from the fish sample was also affected by the position of the samples in the dryer. The samples nearest to the collector have the highest moisture losses (front trays). So by using this plan, Consumer and producer of fish will gain more economic and hygienic of fish product. The fish product will be avoid from deterioration and protein losses along the drying Telah dilakukan modifikasi terhadap teknologi pengeringan ikan di Pulau Madura. Sistem pengering tersebut terbuat dari bahan-bahan lokal seperti sabut kelapa, hardplek, seng gelombang dan plastik bening tahan panas. Alat pengering yang berdimensi 1,5m x 2,4m x 1,88m (lebar, panjang, tinggi) itu mampu melakukan pengeringan 3 kali lebih cepat dibanding pengeringan langsung (udara terbuka). Kemampuan menurunkan kadar air ikan 40 persen lebih cepat untuk ikan utuh dan 37 persen lebih cepat untuk ikan belah dibandingkan cara pengeringan tradisional. Jika dibandingkan terhadap kapasitas per satuan luas alat ini memiliki kemampuan tampung 3 kali lebih banyak dibanding pengeringan langsung (tradisional). Bagi produsen maupun konsumen alat ini memberikan nilai ekonomis yang tinggi karena produk ikan keringnya lebih higienis dan proteinnya tidak mengalami deteriorasi selama pengeringan ataupun saat penyimpanan
