Kam Wing Tai Fish Balls

The Kam Wing Tai Fish Balls (sometimes Cheung Chau fishball; Chinese: 長州魚蛋) is a fishball street snack formerly sold at the Kam Wing Tai stall in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong.

[1][2][3] Known for its large size and soft chewy texture,[4] the food is often presented on wooden skewers in pieces of two.

The fishballs are usually made out of fish paste, a cheap ingredient extracted from grey mullets.

[2] As of 15th August 2024 the fishballs are no longer produced due to the closure of Kam Wing Tai.

On 4 August 2024 the proprietor of Kam Wing Tai, the business who invented the fishballs, announced the closure of his business effective 15 August 2024 after 40 years of producing the snack.
