CUTTLEFISH FISH BALLS 200 g - CHIU CHOW
is a frozen delicacy that represents the essence of Southern Chinese Teochew (Chiu Chow) cuisine, known for its masterful use of seafood. These balls, unlike the more common purely fish variants, are enriched with the intense and subtly sweet flavour of cuttlefish, which gives them exceptional springiness (the "Q" texture) and umami depth.
They are extremely versatile – ideal for traditional Asian broths, hot pot dishes, as well as for fried noodles (e.g., Chow Mein) or rice. They also taste great simply fried or steamed and served with chili sauce.
Ingredients: FISH meat (Priacanthus spp., Nemipterus spp.) 41%, water, CUTTLEFISH meat 15% (Sepia spp.) MOLLUSCS, modified tapioca starch, salt, SOYBEAN oil, sugar, flavour enhancer: E621, humectants: E451, E450, E452, garlic.

The Chiu Chow brand draws inspiration directly from the culinary traditions of the Chaoshan region in China, whose hallmark is precisely the handmade fish and seafood balls. Although Chiu Chow products are often manufactured in Thailand, maintaining the authentic recipe and the highest quality ingredients, sourced from fresh daily catches, is key for the brand. This means these balls are not just a frozen product, but a culinary shortcut to Asia.
The main ingredients are 41% fish meat and 15% cuttlefish meat, which gives these balls a balanced, maritime flavour and makes them rich in protein. The addition of modified tapioca starch and humectants is responsible for their characteristic texture – they must be springy, firm, and slightly "bouncy" in the mouth, which is a hallmark of quality in Asian cuisine. Appropriate spices and the flavour enhancer E621 boost the natural, intense aroma of the seafood.
By choosing Chiu Chow balls, you are opting for a product that combines Asian tradition with international quality standards, delivering authentic flavour straight to your kitchen. This is an ideal choice for lovers of Chinese, Thai, and general Asian street food flavours.
