Fishball is one popular finger food in the Philippines. I misses them so may times in the US. Famous location of fishball vendors are in schools, we have the so called street food corner at the downtown of my hometown and you get to roam around with all those delicious and so inviting Filipino food you could ever ask! During summer time also reminds me and my sister sells fishball in my uncle's front yard house. Cost it one PH peso way back, lol. Neighbors of all ages buys us everyday until summer time is over. Sure those old times was fun and we have to earned extra money you know. So this is our family's recipe, my mom originally made this recipe and she passes it to us. I'm just glad i know the best fishball recipe to cook along with the sweet and sour homemade sauce that mom make as well.
Here is the simple yet taste like home pinoy fishball you could try:
