　　Dabu Fish Balls

　　Dabu Fish Balls are a traditional delicacy. Dabu is the former name of Dahao, one of the coastal fishing areas in Chaoshan known for its abundant aquatic products. Its seafood processed foods are distinctive, especially the fish balls, which are famous for their preservation quality and are exported fresh to Hong Kong and Macau.

　　During production, premium ingredients such as meat from the yellowfin croaker (鯒) are selected, then the fish is skinned and the meat is processed through multiple meticulous steps including mincing, tossing, mixing, and scooping, along with seasonings such as monosodium glutamate, egg white, and refined salt. After forming the balls, they are soaked in water, then cooked using alternating low and high heat.

　　When serving, they are further enhanced with toppings such as superior stock, seaweed, cilantro, monosodium glutamate, pepper, and sesame oil.
