The research was conducted by laboratory examination, observation by using check list sheet, interview using questionaire and then analyzed univariat, bivariate using chi square test and multivariate with logistic regression statistic test. The results showed that there were six variables that were found to be related to the contamination of number of germs in smoked fish, namely the quality of clean water (p=0,0001), garbage condition (p=0,017), sanitary condition of equipment (p=0,0001), presence of vector and pest (p=0,004), hand washing practice (p=0,001), and nail hygiene (p=0,003). The most dominant variable affecting the number of germs in smoked fish is nail hygiene (p=0,027) with the biggest risk value obtained is 23,350.
