Wenzhou Fishballs
Wenzhou Fishballs, which are one of the classic foods in Wenzhou, are different from spherical fishballs elsewhere, with irregular stripes and translucent whites. With fresh gill meat as the main substance, stabbing fish into thin strips, slashing fish with a knife, impregnating for a moment with salt and odour, adding starch (made in purified fish balls, usually with sweet potatoes, and more elastic fish balls) and mixing into the ginger onions, evenly mixed, with hand rubbing until the fish is ten feet flexible. When the pot is laid, the fish mud is squeezed into the boiling pot with its fingers and burned to the point where it matures. The raw soup from the pot is fed with rice vinegar, raw smoke, onions, corroded pig oil and pepper powder; the soup is clarified by the small acid spicy; the fishballs are very flexible, especially for young friends who do not like fish, when their bones are cut off. In 1998, the term “Winzhou fish pill” was designated as “China's famous snack”。
