Squid balls are a popular snack and ingredient in many East and Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly in countries like Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines. Made primarily from minced squid mixed with flour, seasonings, and sometimes other seafood, they are shaped into bite-sized balls and typically deep-fried or boiled. Known for their chewy texture and savory flavor, squid balls are commonly enjoyed in soup, skewered as street food, or added to hot pots. Squid is a good source of lean protein and essential nutrients, including vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium. However, as squid balls are often deep-fried, they may be high in calories and unhealthy fats, depending on the preparation. Moderation is key when enjoying this flavorful treat, and boiled or lightly cooked versions can be healthier alternatives.
