Precautions when purchasing fish balls:
Generally speaking, good fish balls should have firm meat, be elastic in the mouth, and have no starchy taste. If it tastes like too much starch, it means the fish balls are not pure fish. If the fish balls taste good and have a good texture, it proves that the fish meat is fresh. If the fish meat is poor, the taste will be relatively poor and not elastic.
You can buy fish balls in stores or large supermarkets. If you buy them in supermarkets, you should also pay attention to the ingredient list and nutritional label, and choose ones with high protein as much as possible. You should also pay attention to preservation of fish balls after buying them. Refrigeration is a common method, and you can also try it.
