Fried Fish Balls

Fish balls are integral to the cuisine of Fujian, and Fuzhou chefs elevate the cooking of these delicacies to great heights. Being a coastal region, excess fish is processed into fish balls, fish cakes and pastes to be used as stuffing ingredients. Fish balls are often boiled or steamed, then fried and served with a sauce. Street food vendors sell this snack, often skewering a few on bamboo sticks. Fish balls are available in Chinese stores.
