Overview

Spanish mackerel has delicate meat, delicious taste and rich nutrition. It is rich in protein, vitamin A, minerals and other nutrients. I like to use Spanish mackerel to make fish balls. This is because Spanish mackerel is a deep-sea fish that is rarely farmed on the market. Also, mackerel has fewer spines and more meat, so it is perfect for making fish balls. In the south, people call it Spanish Mackerel. In the past, when I lived in Zhejiang, I rarely saw Spanish Mackerel in the vegetable market. I was excited to buy it once in a while. Nowadays, living by the sea, Spanish Mackerel is often seen, and the price is much cheaper than in Zhejiang. The fish balls made this time are delicious and have no fishy smell. They are chewy and smooth in the mouth, especially suitable for the elderly and children with bad teeth. The fish soup is especially delicious.

  8. Add onion, ginger, and pepper water while chopping, so that the fish meat will not stick to the knife. (Chop onions and ginger, add a pinch of Sichuan peppercorns, and soak in boiling water for a while to make onion, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns water)

  9. After mincing it thoroughly (I chopped it for 13 minutes), add the remaining onion, ginger, and pepper water in batches, and stir in one direction. The fish is really watery, almost a bowl and a half of onion, ginger, and pepper water are added to it.
