    Maria, it seems like you need to lay down the whole HACCP plan. I think
    it's a good idea to start with some sound scientific literature such as
    the "Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance". If you
    don't have one, ask me so I can show you how to get it. You might be in a
    country with different regulations than the US but it's a good start.

    Then, you'll find the hazards associated with the fish you're working
    (achovies) and go from there. Everything else should be common sense.

    Hope it helps,

    Amilcar
