Shaxian Snacks (Shaxian Xiaochi) 沙县小吃
Fish Balls (Yuwan) 鱼丸
The name of this local delicacy does not do justice to its taste. Made from carp, shark or freshwater fish and formed into balls, these soft, spongy snacks provide a savory, hearty meal. Preparation first requires removing the bones from the fish. After combining with flour, salt and other spices, the fish is then beaten into a smooth consistency and made into a wrap for mussels, shrimp or sturgeon. The dish plays such an important role in Fuzhou cuisine that the locals have a saying: “If there are no fish balls, there is no dinner”. Dafuxing Fish Ball Store provides the perfect venue to sample these local treasures.
