The effect of chitosan (CS)-gallic acid (GA) conjugate (chitosan gallate, CS-g-GA) coating on the quality of silvery pomfret (Pampus argenteus) during refrigerated storage at 4 °C for 15 days was investigated. The total mesophilic and psychrotrophic microbes in control and coated fish samples were counted periodically; physicochemical analyses to determine pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), K-value, and water-holding capacity (WHC) were carried out; and sensory attributes were evaluated. The results indicated that both CS + GA and CS-g-GA coatings effectively preserved the silvery pomfret quality during refrigerated storage. However, CS-g-GA had higher antimicrobial activity and a better ability to inhibit the formation of volatile bases (TVB-N) and lipid oxidation products (POV and TBARS) as well as the degradation of ATP and its breakdown products (K value) than CS + GA during the storage period. Furthermore, the CS-g-GA coating also helped to maintain a higher WHC and had better sensory properties for a longer period of time compared to the other treated samples, thus extending the shelf life and delaying the deterioration of fresh silvery pomfret by 3–6 days during refrigerated storage. These results suggest that a CS-g-GA coating could be employed as an active packaging material in the fish preservation industry.
