Fishball is a popular street food and snack originating from Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines and parts of China. Made primarily from a mixture of minced fish, flour, and seasonings, it is shaped into small, round balls and often deep-fried or boiled. Though recipes may vary, common fish types used include mackerel, pollock, or tilapia. Fishballs are rich in protein and certain Omega-3 fatty acids from the fish, which support heart and brain health. However, they are often high in sodium and may contain additives or preservatives in commercially produced versions. When deep-fried, they also absorb oil, increasing fat content, which can be less healthy when consumed excessively. Served with flavorful sauces, they are beloved in many cuisines for their versatility and savory taste, but mindful preparation can enhance their nutritional value.
