Fish balls are a popular delicacy originating from Southeast Asia, particularly prominent in Chinese, Filipino, Thai, and Malaysian cuisines. Made primarily from finely minced fish, typically white fish like cod or mackerel, they are blended with starch, salt, and seasonings to achieve a springy texture. Fish balls are often boiled, fried, or steamed and served in soups, with noodles, or as street food skewers. They are a good source of protein and provide various vitamins and minerals from fish, such as omega-3 fatty acids which contribute to heart health. However, store-bought versions may contain high levels of sodium, preservatives, or fillers, making it important to check labels or opt for freshly made options. While relatively low in fat, fried fish balls can increase calorie content. Moderation and preparation choices are key to enjoying their nutritional benefits while minimizing less healthy aspects.
