If you have been to Hong Kong, you might have seen these fishballs which are popular Chinese snacks.
They are usually plain or in curry sauce where you can add optional chili sauce to them.
Anyway, in the Jewish cuisine, they also have fish balls called Gefilte Fish Balls.
The one I had were a combination of cod, haddock and matzo meal which are ready to eat hot or cold.
Different countries will use a different fish mix due to sustainability.
I was really impressed with the Gefilte Fish Balls because you could really smell the fish and it tastes of fish, the only thing I didn't like was the sweetness.
These fishballs are made with a substantial amount of fish hence the texture is similar to fishcake.
Comparing these to the Hong Kong ones, Gefilte fish balls taste much better because of the fish content while the Hong Kong ones are just bouncy and chewy as there is more proportion of flour to fish.
As well as Jewish fish balls, the Norwegian fish balls are delicious and again because it contains more fish.
Overall, I definitely recommmend these if you like fish cakes.
