When was the last time you had fishbol?
A fast afternoon snack, fishbol is often an on-the-go "appetizer" while returning home from work or school.
Convenient, cheap, and hot from the kawali or wok, it remains one of the longstanding street foods sold by vendors and karinderyas throughout the country.
They might be called fish “balls,” but in the Philippines they come in many forms - round, flat, elongated - in shades of white or golden brown - paired with a mini-buffet of sauces to dip them in.
Next time you step out for a merienda break or head home after a long day, enjoy a bite of what may be one of the country’s original fast foods: simple, savory, and shared on the street corner.
