About Chinese fish cake

Chinese Fish Cake is a savory seafood product popular in Chinese cuisine, often used in soups, stir-fries, or as a standalone snack. Made from minced white fish, typically pollock or cod, its paste is mixed with starch, egg white, and seasonings, then shaped, steamed, or fried. The texture is smooth and bouncy, while the flavor is mild, making it versatile across dishes. Originating from traditional Asian culinary practices, fish cakes are a rich source of protein and contain essential omega-3 fatty acids crucial for brain and heart health. However, they may also contain added sodium, preservatives, or starches, which could make them less suitable for low-sodium or low-carb diets. Be sure to check ingredient labels or opt for homemade versions to control nutritional content. Delicious and nutrient-rich, Chinese Fish Cake combines tradition with a wholesome protein option.
