Artificial fish balls are versatile processed snacks or ingredients popular in Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese and Southeast Asian dishes. Made primarily from surimi—a paste formed by blending white fish with starches and seasonings—they are shaped into spheres and often fortified with flavor enhancers. Some varieties may also include additives, soy protein, or synthetic fillers to replicate taste and texture. Commonly boiled, fried, or simmered in soups, they offer a chewy, elastic bite and mild seafood flavor. From a nutritional standpoint, artificial fish balls are low in fat and provide a source of protein, though the quality of protein may vary due to manufacturing processes. Many types are high in sodium from preservatives and may contain artificial flavors and stabilizers, making moderation essential. While convenient and affordable, their highly processed nature makes them less nutrient-dense compared to fresh seafood options. Suitable for quick meals or snacks but not ideal for regular consumption.
