Homemade fishballs are a popular snack or meal ingredient originating from East and Southeast Asian cuisines. Made primarily from fresh, minced white fish, such as pollock or mackerel, they’re combined with ingredients like egg whites, tapioca starch, garlic, and seasoning before being shaped into balls and boiled or fried. These fishballs are valued for their high protein content, providing a lean source of energy with less fat than red meat options. They also contain essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which benefit heart and brain health. However, depending on preparation methods, such as deep frying or including high-sodium seasonings, their nutritional value can decrease. Opting for steaming or boiling and pairing them with fresh vegetables or lighter sauces maximizes their health potential. Homemade versions allow greater control over ingredients, ensuring a cleaner, more wholesome option compared to pre-packaged alternatives.
