Fried Fish Balls in Fish Sauce (Large)

Fish balls with fish sauce (cá viên chiên mắm) are fish balls (fish cake balls) deep-fried until crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, then drizzled or tossed with a rich sweet-and-sour fish sauce, usually topped with minced garlic and chili along with fried shallots. The dish has a harmonious balance of salty and sweet flavors, with a slightly spicy kick depending on the shop's recipe, and is usually eaten hot right after frying, using toothpicks or skewers, as a snack. Large Portion" here means an extra-large size, meant for sharing among several people or for someone with a big appetite.
