Do fish eggs and fish balls mean the same thing?

Fish eggs and fish balls are the same thing.

Fish eggs (fish balls) can be roughly divided into two categories.

The first category is the famous street cooked food in Hong Kong, starting from the mobile hawkers in the 1960s. This kind of fish egg is fried, the outer layer is golden yellow, and it is made of cheaper shark meat. Generally, a few pieces are sold with bamboo sticks. The price of each string of food stalls ranges from HK$ 5 to HK$ 7 or 1 HK$, depending on the location of the food stalls. Some food stalls specialize in selling fish eggs, similar to western hot dog stalls. It is often served with Chili sauce or sweet sauce.

The other is big, white, made of more expensive fish, which is very different in taste and texture from street cooked food. These fish eggs are mostly eaten in Chaozhou noodle stalls or tea restaurants with hot soup noodles (that is, fish egg noodles, the price ranges from 10-25 Hong Kong dollars). In addition, this kind of fish eggs are sold in markets and supermarkets, and Hong Kong people also use fish eggs as materials for edge burners. And this fish egg is the most famous one produced in Aberdeen.
