Contrary to popular belief, fish balls are not made from the
testicles of male
fish. They are, in fact, traditionally made from fish
meat made into a paste and rolled into balls. However, fish is getting expensive these days, so most of the fish balls you can find are made with a large percentage of
flour and flavorings.
In
Hong Kong, fish balls are commonly found in street stalls and in restaurants. They can be served on sticks, in bowls, with soup and
noodles, with
curry, in
hot pot, etc.
