Big Shark Fishball 大白鯊魚丸 ⋆ 貓女Teresa

我之前曾經介紹過基隆媽祖廟（慶安宮），當時提到由於媽祖廟是基隆當地人的信仰重地，因此圍繞著媽祖廟發展出一個生活商圈，附近有很多已經開了幾十年的老店。除了我已經介紹過的謝家米漿之外，今天我要介紹另一家有基隆當地特色的小吃-大白鯊魚丸。

I have previously introduced the Keelung Mazu Temple. It was mentioned at that time that because the Mazu Temple is an important place of faith for the local people in Keelung, it has developed a living business circle around the Mazu Temple.

There are many old shops there that have been open for decades. In addition to the homemade rice and peanut milk of Hsieh family I have already introduced, today I would like to introduce another local specialty of Keelung-“Big Shark Fishballs”.

The “Big Shark Fishballs” is located right across from the Mazu Temple, with a striking red sign on the doorway and a yellow lantern. The bright colors quickly catch the eyes of passers-by. All food sold in the store is only available in coin prices. A small amount of money can satisfy the stomach of gourmands. This is a shop that locals often visit and several branches have been opened one after another.

大白鯊魚丸位於慶安宮的正對面，加上門口醒目的紅招牌和黃澄澄的燈籠，鮮豔的顏色很快就抓住過路人的眼光。

店內販賣的所有吃食都只有銅板價，花小小的錢就可以滿足饕客的胃，是當地人經常會光顧的店家，也陸續開了幾家分店。

The decoration of the store is very simple. The only problem is that it’s not clean here. You’d better avoid looking at the ground and walls, otherwise, your appetite may be affected!

There are a variety of seasonings on the table, the seasoning of Keelung noodle is light so most of the noodle shop will have a variety of seasonings available. After adding these seasonings, it is the real taste of Keelung!

店內的裝潢很樸實，比較讓人詬病的是，清潔上做得不是很理想，得要避免去看地面和牆面，否則恐怕會影響食慾呀！

桌上放著多種調味料，我發現這似乎是基隆人的習慣，基隆的麵食調味偏清淡，所以大部份的小吃店都會有各式各樣的調味料，自己加上這些調味料之後，才是真正基隆的味道呀！

Look at the posters of media recommended on the wall. The old shop is now becoming more and more aware of marketing.

瞧瞧牆上這些媒體推薦的海報，老店現在也越來越懂得行銷了呢！

Keelung has a place of convenience. A large number of fresh fish are brought into Keelung every day to make fishballs, fresh and elastic.

I had a previous article about how to make delicious fishballs, You can see the post here.

In the noodle shop in Taiwan, in addition to the main food, side dishes are sometimes quite wonderful. If you have the chance to eat in these noodle shops, do not forget to try the side dishes, perhaps you will get some surprises.

店裏銷量最大的自然是魚丸，基隆佔了地利之便，每天大量的新鮮漁獲進港，拿來製作魚丸，新鮮又彈牙。

我之前有一篇文章寫到如何製作好吃的魚丸，有興趣的朋友可以去看這裏。

台灣的小吃店中，除了主食之外，小菜有時候也挺精彩的，到台灣這些麵食類的小店，別忘了也試試看小菜，說不定會有些驚喜喔！

Let’s see what I had on that day.

來看看我點了什麼！

High-grade Shaoxing wine (Huadiao wine) and soy-stewed pork with rice 花雕控肉飯 $55

When I see the word Huadiao wine, it seems that there is a kind of magic that elevates the ordinary soy-stewed pork with rice to another level, once again prove the power of marketing.

The pork looks oily and juicy. The lean part is not too dry and hard, the taste is quite good. But I can’t tell the taste of Huadiao wine in the meat.

The plum dried vegetables on the side play an important role to reduce the greasy feeling of fat. Its unique flavor makes the soy-stewed meat taste with more layers.

Unfortunately, the rice is a bit too soft, and there is no elasticity and rice aroma. On the whole, I will still recommend this bowl of rice.

看到花雕兩個字，彷彿有一種魔力，將平凡無奇的控肉飯提升一個層次，再次證明行銷的威力。

油油亮亮的控肉飯，吃起來軟硬適中，瘦肉的部分不會太柴，味道也滷得挺不錯的，只是吃不出來加了花雕二字到底有什麼差別？哈哈哈！

旁邊的梅干菜扮演了重要的角色，加上梅干菜的提味，減低了肥肉的油膩感，梅干菜特有的味道讓控肉吃起來更有層次。

比較可惜的是，白飯有點不太及格，太過軟爛，吃起來沒有彈性和米的香氣。

整體來說，這碗花雕控肉飯我還是推薦的。

Fishball and Fried Tofu Bag Soup 綜合湯 $25

This soup should be a must eat for this shop.

Fishballs are simple without any fillings. They rely on fresh fish to bring out the fresh sweetness.

In addition to fishballs, dried tofu bag can also be regarded as one of Keelung’s specialties, and is relatively rare in other places. The dried tofu bean is stuffed into the ground pork and sealed with fish paste.

I like the feeling that the soup sprays from tofu into my mouth. The pork stuffing has been marinated in advance, and the three delicious ingredients mix in the mouth with a unique taste. I love it the first time I ate it.

這碗綜合湯應該是來這家店必點，魚丸樸實不花俏，沒有包任何餡料，純粹靠新鮮魚肉帶出鮮甜，反覆剁碎揉捏出彈性。正因為魚丸沒有添加什麼額外的餡料，如果你期待能帶給你什麼驚喜，恐怕會有些失望。不過如果你追求的是手工魚丸的新鮮彈牙，那你就來對地方了！

除了魚丸之外，還可以吃到豆干包。豆干包也可以算是基隆的特產之一，在其他地方比較少見。油豆腐包入豬肉餡，以魚漿封住開口，看起來是不是很像淡水名產「阿給」？不過吃起來可是各有各的特色，絲毫不遜色喔！我喜歡豆干包咬下去時，湯汁從油豆腐噴入口中的感覺，豬肉餡已經事先醃過，三種好吃的食材在口中混合出獨特的味道與口感，一吃就會愛上。

Bolognese Noodle 肉醬拌麵 $30

Hot noodles are the daily food closest to life. Generally speaking, Keelung’s traditional dried noodles will not add meat sauce. If you want to try Keelung’s traditional food, this bowl of noodles may not be a good choice. However, the noodle itself is cooked just right, and the seasoning of meat sauce is ok. It can be considered as a bowl of good bolognese noodle.
