Steps:
- In a food processor, process all of the fish ball ingredients except for the fish/flour/oil. Add in the fish and mix thoroughly.
- Mold the fish mixture into balls the size and shape of an egg (if the mixture doesn't cooperate and falls apart, you may want to mix in an egg to help it bind together). Dredge the balls in the flour.
- Heat the oil in a skillet, add the fish and brown on all sides (approximately 2-3 minutes). Place them in a greased baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a food processor, grind all the sauce ingredients into a smooth paste. Pour it over the fish balls, and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes.
- Can be served chilled, at room temperature or hot.

Steps:
- Make the sauce first. In a wide pan, fry the garlic in oil till the aroma rises. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt, and chili pepper or cayenne. Add about 2 cups (500 mL) of water and bring to the boil. If you leave the chili pepper in throughout the cooking, the sauce might end up too hot for you, so taste the sauce and remove the pepper when you feel the sauce is hot enough.
- For the fish balls, mix all the ingredients together and work to a firm paste with your hands. (If you use the food processor to grind the fish, do so very briefly or it can turn into a creamy puree.)
- Take lumps of paste the size of a small walnut and roll into little balls.
- Drop them one by one into the sauce and simmer for 20-25 minutes turning them over once.
- Serve accompanied by lemon wedges.

SPICY FISH BALLS. RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:
- Wash and pat the fish dry with some paper towels. If you're using frozen (pre packaged) cod, give it a good squeeze as there's usually a lot of water in it. Then cut into chunks and place into a food processor. The entire recipe will be done in the food processor, but if you don't have one, don't fret. Simply chop the cod fish very fine and mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Give the fish a few pulses in the food processor and remember to scrape down the side so you get an even consistency. Then add all the other ingredients except the flour and the veg oil for frying. Please remember to chop the herbs very fine and crush the garlic. The scotch bonnet pepper should also be very fine and do remember to wear gloves when handling them. Additionally, wash your hands with soap and water immediately after handing. Pulse for a minute or two (remember to stop to scrape down), until you have a well mixed consistency. Now it's time to shape this into the small balls for frying. Take about a teaspoon full amount and roll in your hands to form the ball. Then toss in the flour (all purpose flour) to evenly coat the outside. This will help you get that lovely golden brown colour when fried. Be sure to do them all before you start to fry, as they will cook very fast. You can place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet so they don't stick as they await their turn in the hot oil Heat your oil on a medium/high heat and fry these for 3-4 minutes. I love using my wok for this as it maintains an even heat and with the high sides, I don't make a mess on the stove. Drain on paper towels and serve with one of the many sauces I've shared over the past few years. Check the recipe index for the tamarind sauce, there's the honey mustard mango sauce, the shado beni sauce and about 8 other spicy sauces there.

I adapted this one from a great cookbook called 'The Fish Cookbook'. A good all year round recipe, I like to serve this with roast potatoes and a green vegetable.
