When it comes to fish cakes, people in Hubei should be familiar with them. Fish balls, Taiwanese Meatballs, and fish cakes will appear at our Spring Festival or banquet. I remember when I was young, every family would start to prepare these dishes a few days before the Spring Festival. They were all handmade before. Although we can buy these dishes everywhere, they are not handmade and have no fish flavor. Today, I personally made fish cake using our traditional techniques and it was very successful. The entire production process and ingredients were also recorded in detail
