About Squid ball

Squid Ball is a popular snack or street food staple, originating from Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly prevalent in countries like the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. These bite-sized, savory delights are made from finely minced or pasteurized squid combined with starch, seasonings, and sometimes additional seafood ingredients to create a soft, chewy texture. They are typically deep-fried until golden brown and are often served with dipping sauces like sweet chili, soy-based, or vinegar blends. Nutritionally, squid balls are a good source of protein from the squid, but they may also contain additives or fillers, depending on the brand or preparation method. While squid itself is low in calories and fat, the deep-frying process adds extra fat and may increase the calorie content. For a healthier twist, they can be baked or air-fried to retain their signature texture while reducing oil consumption. Moderation is key to enjoying this tasty treat.
