Steps:
- In a food processor, grind the flesh into a thick paste. Alternatively, pound the fish flesh with the back of a knife until it turns to a thick paste.
- In a bowl, combine the fish paste, salt, sugar, cornstarch, and water.
- Using hands, stir the mixture until well combined and then shape into a big ball. Lift from the bowl and then slap back into the bowl. Repeat for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the fish paste is smooth and shiny and begins to pull away from the side of the bowl.
- Alternatively, transfer the fish paste into the bowl of a stand mixer and using the paddle attachment, beat for about 10 to 15 minutes or until it begins to pull away from the side of the bowl.
- Using a tablespoon, portion the fish paste and shape into balls by rolling between the palm of hands.
- In a pot over medium heat, bring about 4 quarts of water to a boil. Gently drop fish balls into boiling water and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until they begin to float on top.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove from the fish balls from water and allow to cool.
- In a wide pan, heat about 2 inches of oil. Add fish balls and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and puffed. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
- Serve with the sweet and spicy fish ball sauce.

Steps:
- Wash and pat the Cod Fillet (1 pound) and dry with some paper towels. Then cut into chunks and place into a food processor.

Tips:
- Use fresh fish: The fresher the fish, the better the fish balls will taste. If you can, buy fish that has been caught within the last 24 hours.
- Choose the right kind of fish: Not all fish are suitable for making fish balls. Some fish, such as salmon and tuna, are too oily and will make the fish balls greasy. Other fish, such as cod and haddock, are too dry and will make the fish balls tough. The best fish for making fish balls are those that are white and flaky, such as tilapia, pollock, and flounder.
- Grind the fish finely: The finer the fish is ground, the smoother the fish balls will be. If you don't have a meat grinder, you can use a food processor to grind the fish.
- Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients: Overmixing the ingredients will make the fish balls tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Fry the fish balls in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough so that the fish balls sizzle when they are added to the pan. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish balls.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the fish balls, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish balls will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fish balls hot: Fish balls are best served hot. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce, or mayonnaise.
Conclusion:
Spicy fried fish balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious spicy fried fish balls at home.
