Here's mine...

Gefilte Fish

2 lbs. ground white fish mixed with pike
2 eggs, hardboiled and mashed
2 carrots, minced
2 onions, minced
1 raw egg
1 cup sugar
4 tsp. salt

Mix ingredients well. Separate into parts and freeze. Take each portion, shape into balls or a loaf (wrapped in parchment paper). Bring water to boil. Add an onion, carrots, fish, 1 cup sugar and 2 tbsp. salt. Boil ½ hour for balls and 1 hour for loaf.

I usually roll it in parchment paper and twist the ends very well - I've never had a problem w/ it breaking.

chen, whenever I bought fish and had it ground for gefilte, it costed at least twice, probably 3X as much as the loaves. But the loaves are about $4.00 - $5.00 each. Do you call that expensive? How much does your supermarket charge?

yeah, I call that expensive. they used to be three and change, but now they're up around $5. that's why I'm asking about canned salmon, which you can get on sale for $1 for 15 oz.

That's funny! I make mine from scratch because I don't feel like paying $10+ (USD) for one roll! I actually don't eat it, and will only eat Gefilte fish if it is store bought! Rolling Eyes

SaraYehudis, I agree, when it comes down to it, it's just about the same price here ($10 a loaf) when I make it, but it doesn't seem like it, since I have so many of the ingredients in the house anyways.
