About Squidball
Squidball is a popular street food snack found in many Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly in the Philippines. Made primarily from ground squid mixed with flour, seasonings, and sometimes starch for texture, the mixture is shaped into small balls and deep-fried to golden perfection. This savory treat is often served with sweet, spicy, or tangy dipping sauces. While squid itself is a lean protein rich in essential nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus, the preparation method can impact its nutritional profile. The deep-frying process adds extra calories and fat, which may be a drawback for those monitoring their intake. However, when enjoyed in moderation, squidballs offer a flavorful and satisfying option for seafood lovers looking to explore the unique taste of Asian street food.
