Gefilte Fish (Stuffed Fish)

Gefilte fish is a wonderful dish — delicious and moist! Thank you, Jewish cooks! Stuffed fish is probably the most famous dish of Jewish cuisine. It's traditionally made in Ashkenazi families, and the recipes vary depending on which country those families call home. There's Lithuanian-style, Tashkent-style, and Polish-style gefilte fish. Here we'll focus on the version now made in Israel on an industrial scale.

  • Cut one carp into slices about 2 cm (¾ inch) wide, leaving the head and tail whole. Cut the head off the second carp and add it to the pile. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and some pepper, then refrigerate for 24 hours. Debone and skin the second carp and grind it with the onion. Mix the ground fish with the egg, 1 tablespoon of sugar, a teaspoon of salt, pepper, and the breadcrumbs. The mixture should be firm enough to shape into patties; if it's too loose, add more breadcrumbs. Refrigerate this mixture for 24 hours as well. Pour three cups of water into a pot, lower in the patties, and fill the gaps between them with the fish slices. Bring to a boil. Add the carrots in rounds, the onion, and all the fish heads to the boiling water — the water should cover them. Cook it all over low heat for two hours. Pour the contents of the pot onto a deep-rimmed tray, as you would for aspic, and set it in the cold until the liquid sets. Serve cold with any sauce.
