Fish ball

Fish ball (/ˈfɪʃ bɔːl/) is a common food item in various parts of the world, particularly in Asia. It is made from fish paste and is typically round in shape.

Preparation

Fish balls are made by finely pulverizing fish or fish fillet. The fish paste is then shaped into a ball and boiled in a soup or deep fried. In some cultures, fish balls are served on a skewer, while in others they are served in a bowl with soup or noodles.
