Fishball from the streets.

the fishballs from the street vendors are the packaged ones. I think they buy it cheap like 60 pesos per kilo.

I think they are all packaged. Even the kikiam and squidballs. I remember last year, I really love the taste of the vendor's kikiam. So I peeked inside his cart just to look for the brand of his kikiam. LOL. It was available in supermarkets!

Street vendors don't make the fishballs or squidballs or kikiams they are selling. They buy the ready made ones from the market. Try to notice the brand names in the packages when you are buying from your favorite vendor. Fishball/Squidball making is too cumbersome that is why vendors prefer buying them in the market. But if you still want to make your own, just type "fishball recipe" in your search engine.

maybe you can try the homemade one. I'm not that quite sure about the measurement of the ingredients but maybe you can try this one. 1/2 kilo fish, steamed 2 eggs 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup flour salt and pepper to taste onion and garlic First removed the bones of the steamed fish. Then add the flour and baking powder gradually with the beaten eggs. Then add the spices to taste. Then fried it. Just simple as that.

Most of the time, I see fish ball vendors who are selling the ones found in the department store. I think any kind of fish balls are good as long as the sauce is also good. One of the best sauces I have ever tasted are the ones they have in Cebu.

i love fishballs and kikiam plus the yummy sweet sauce that really likes my taste buds. I have an uncle who sells kikiam, fishballs and tokneneng in the street of quezon city. And everytime i visit him i have free "tusok" hahaha. and i told him that i really like the sauce :D And a nighboor here in our compound cooks home made fishballs.. if i have time ill check on her recipe and post it here TS.. :D

It's hard to say how to make the fishball. I think most fishball is similar. The secret is based on the sauce itself. A delicious sauce will make the fishball nice. I love China

The street vendors "Manong fishball" just buys the packaged ones in the market and just creates the sauce made of sugar (brown) and vinegar. Mix it together and you have fish ball street side style.

oh my! i wish i know. i love eating those even if my ex french bf didnt want me to. i will come back and check on the rest of the posts. =) thanks for starting such discussion.

I love to eat fishball and squidballs but i think even filipino's didn't know how to make one because its very cheap to buy and hassle free than making your own. Its the sauce that makes the difference. though i tried i can't make a perfect sauce that fishball vendor are selling.

Yum! I love street foods (except one-day old). Most fishball vendors uses the packed ones so usually fishball without the sauce generally tastes the same. It's the sauce that really makes the difference. My mother-in-law can make a good sauce (a combination of sweet, sour and chili) but not really the same as those on the streets.

They are made from flour and fish leftovers...Inn some places though, fishballs comes in spherical, while most we seen are circles. I'm wondering why it's fishballs when it's only a circle. The secret to the ones sold on the streets why it's tasty is the sauce.
