Perch are carnivorous fish that are most commonly found in small ponds, lakes, streams, or rivers.

Fish Balls in Vermicelli Batter Recipe


Fish balls are a common food in China. Fish balls made in Scandinavia are similar to meatballs, only with fish meat instead of pork or beef. Meatballs made in Asia differ significantly in texture to their European counterparts. Instead of grinding and forming meats, meat used for making meatballs is pounded, which lends a smooth texture to the meatballs. Pounding, unlike grinding, uncoils and stretches previously wound and tangled protein strands in meat. This offers high protein content to its user. Want to taste great protein. Don’t miss this.
