What are the differences in preparation and flavor between Fuzhou and Chaoshan fishballs? Which one is more delicious?

The biggest difference between Fuzhou fishballs and Teochew fishballs is:

Fuzhou fishballs are wrapped fishballs and Teochew fishballs are solid fishballs!

The following I will talk about the two places in detail what is the difference between the fishballs:

First, the selection of different materials

1, Chaoshan fishballs is the use of fresh flavor and more tender meat "Nago fish". No other ingredients are added, it is pure "Nago fish"!

2, Fuzhou fish balls are made of eel, shark or freshwater fish minced, then wrapped in lean pork or shrimp and other fillings made of balls.

2, different in the process of making fish balls

1, Chaoshan fish balls are people manually scrape the fish meat off the fish bit by bit, and then will be put into a barrel, constantly wrestling the fish meat into the minced fish, wrestling the minced fish will spit out the gelatinous, which makes the fish balls become elastic.

After making the surimi, the lychee-sized balls are extruded by hand and put into warm water first to set the shape, then into ice water to quickly pick up the balls, and finally into ice water once again even if it is completed.

The surface of the fish ball is elastic and the inside is firm and flavorful, and it is said that it can be played as a ping pong ball, and this is very powerful!

2, Fuzhou fish ball is kicked out of the fish bone, take out the fish meat, with a stick to beat out, hit the time to dilute the fish meat paste, do not add water, only add ice, mixed with fish meat to hit.

First, spoon a spoonful of fish paste in the batter, then quickly put the filling in the center, and then quickly turn the spoon so that the paste becomes a small ball inside the small spoon.

The small spoon is dipped gently in a basin full of water, and the small ball is detached from the spoon, and fished out as soon as the fish ball rises to the surface.

Third, in the eating method above, there is not much difference between the two.

However, the taste will be very different!

1, as I said before, Chaoshan fishballs it is the choice of "Nago fish", Nago fish is a sea fish, so it will have a seafood flavor in it.

2, Fuzhou fish balls are made of eel, shark or freshwater fish, and then wrapped in lean pork or shrimp and other fillings, so its filling determines its flavor, those who have the feeling of popping the fish ball is great!

Well, that's all I know, so feel free to keep adding and correcting! Thank you so much for reading through!

Old Tiny, uh-oh! Have a bowl of fishballs!
