fishball
Rounded fish morsel
A fishball is a small, round dumpling made from fish paste, common in East and Southeast Asian cuisines.
They're typically boiled, fried, or served in soups and on skewers: street vendors selling fishballs on sticks, fishball noodle soup.
The texture ranges from bouncy to firm depending on preparation.
