Cheung Chau fishball (Chinese: 長州魚蛋) is a fishball street snack commonly found in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong, and considered a specialty of the island.[1][2][3] Known for its large size and soft chewy texture,[4] the food is often presented on wooden skewers in pieces of two. They are often seasoned with a variety of sauces, including curry sauce and mala sauce. The fishballs are usually made out of fish paste, a cheap ingredient extracted from grey mullets.[2]
The dish is typically found only on the island of Cheung Chau.[4] The fish balls are approximately the size of a golf ball, which is larger than those in most Hong Kong fish ball dishes.[2] They are served steamed or deep fried.[2]
