Fish balls are bite-sized, spherical snacks or meal components made primarily from finely ground or minced fish, such as mackerel, cod, or pollock. Combined with starch, salt, and seasonings, the mixture is formed into balls and cooked by boiling, steaming, or frying. Popular in Asian cuisines, particularly in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan, fish balls are commonly served in soups, hot pots, or as street food skewers. They are rich in protein and low in fat when steamed, making them a healthier option in comparison to fried varieties, which can increase calorie and fat content. While fish balls provide essential omega-3 fatty acids from the fish, some store-bought versions may contain high sodium levels or additives. Homemade or fresh varieties are often healthier alternatives. This versatile dish captures the essence of comfort food while offering a balance between flavor and nutritional value.
