Fish tofu (Chinese: 鱼豆腐; pinyin: yú dòufu) is a fish product that resembles the form and texture of tofu.

It is made from fish paste (also known as surimi).

[1][2] According to legend, fish tofu was invented by Shi Lang (1621–1696) in Tainan, present-day Taiwan.

He was a naval officer of the ruler Zheng Jing.

Shi first popularised fish tofu with soldiers, the legend goes.
