Fried Cuttlefish Balls Recipe
12 cuttlefish balls
Oil, for deep-frying
Chili sauce
Method:
- Defrost the cuttlefish balls. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat up a wok with oil for deep-frying, or heat up a deep-fryer. Deep-fry the cuttlefish balls until they turn golden brown. Transfer the cuttlefish balls out with a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil with paper towels.
- Skewer three (3) cuttlefish balls into one bamboo skewer and drizzle each skewer with chili sauce.
- Serve immediately.
Cook’s Note:
Most frozen cuttlefish balls in the Asian markets here in the United States are loaded with flour and lack texture, and once fried, they expand to almost 1.5 times the original size. I find the BEST brand cuttlefish balls springy and QQ.

Fried Fish with Soy Sauce
I love fish, but I don’t eat enough of them here in the United States; I can hardly find the ones I love most. Growing up in Malaysia, fresh fish is abundant. There are all kinds of fish available in the wet market–big, small, tiny, deep-sea, or fresh water. I prefer smaller and tiny fish, deep-fried to crispy goodness that…
Crispy Fried Chicken (Martin Yan’s-Style)
Martin Yan. The mere mention of the name Martin Yan conjures up visual pictures of my childhood days in Penang, Malaysia. I am a fan of Martin Yan, since I was little. I remember my family and I would crowd in front of the TV watching “Yan Can Cook.” Back then, I didn’t understand English completely but I loved the…
Fried Chicken Recipe
When I first read this fried chicken recipe post on Chez Pim, I knew immediately that it’s a keeper. I am addicted to these perfectly-fried, golden, crispy and flavorful fried chicken in Thailand. As a matter of fact, I was laying over in Bangkok recently and had no less than 3 servings of fried chicken from 3 different street vendors….
Fried Meatballs
This is a Chinese meatball recipe with ground pork and spiced with five-spice powder. Fried meatballs is a homey recipe, one that you can prepare every day for your family without much hassle: a recipe that is great for children and adults alike.

I grew up in Hong Kong, and yes, I love fried cuttlefish balls, fish balls, especially curry fish balls sold by street vendors. Remind of the good old days growing up in Hong Kong. Thank you!
Hi Pat, I love curry fish balls, never miss then whenever I go to Hong Kong. I always buy from the little cafes selling them. Next time, I will make some curry fish balls. :)
Those look delicious!
Cheers,
Rosa
I have not eaten these for a long long long long time. When Yaohan was still in Singapore, I was a fan of the fishball on skewers.
Me too, that’s why I was very excited to eat this treat. The cuttlefish balls sold at some Taiwanese boba cafes are EXPENSIVE, like a skewer is $4 or something.
My mom limit my junk food consumption, so I have not tasted fried cuttle fish ball so far. It’s time to hands on, hahaha…
I am very surprised! You can get this at lor bak heh chee hawkers, too. Without the skewers. ;)
Your fried cuttlefish balls look even nicer than those I got from store, yummy
Thanks!
Very tempting! I love skewered foods which are easy to dive into my bottomless stomach ;)
Somehow the skewers just make the food more appetizing, even though it really doesn’t add any flavor to it. Presentation counts! :)
They are a pain to make so I buy them as well. …love them with chili sauce!
We probably can’t find fresh enough cuttlefish to make it from scratch. ;)
I live in Long Beach & always looking for products made in Malaysia & Singapore. I was very happy when I finally was able to get the Dodo brand fish balls at the Filipino supermarkets in Cerritos & Artesia. Can you tell me which Asian supermarkets sell this Best brand? Is this Best brand available at the 99 Ranch Supermarket? Thanks.
Hi Kat, yes, I bought Dodo until I found this brand! I especially love their fish paste, it makes Yong Tow Fu just like the ones we get in the market, very springy.
I got it at 德成行 at Rowland Heights, not sure what is the name in English, I hope you can read English. They are a Chinese shop selling herbs and Chinese medicine, but also vegetables and grocery. They have a branch in RH and also Monterey Park.
Hi Bee, thanks for the info! Dodo’s fish balls are good but I didn’t like their squid balls so I can’t wait to get my hands on Best products. I can read some Chinese….would you happen to have this shop’s address/ tel. no.? Thanks again!
Here you go, weekends are the best to buy this product.

Good luck Kat.
Hi Bee, Shan here. Not sure if you remember me. Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say hi and hope you’re well. Have finally succumbed and started a modest little food blog of my own. It’s still in its early days but am enjoying it so far.
Take care and have a great rest of the day.
Best,
Shan
Congrats on your blog. Good luck and have fun with it.
Hi!! I must try to find the brand you mentioned. Sometimes I am afraid to buy all the frozen balls here incase it is “fishy”.
