I was given a case of BenZ 'mehudar' gefilte fish.
The ingredients are:
Fish, mullet, eggs, onions, carrots, salt
The package states:
No pepper, No potato starch, No oil

I tried cooking it like a regular frozen loaf and it was very tasteless.
I don't use sugar or sweeteners.

I tried defrosting a loaf, spicing it, rolling into fish balls and boiling it. It was better than just cooking the loaf, but not great. I tried defrosting, spicing, breading and frying and it was better, but far from great. The spicing is just guessing amounts and needs improvement.

Anyone have any ideas what I can do to improve it? Without adding any sugars or starches.

try boiling a loaf with celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaves, pepper. cook for 1.5 hours.

I've also taken gefilta cooked as described above and sliced, put on top of sauted onions in a pan, add tomato sauce water and veg (sliced carrots, peas or snow peas are a crowd pleaser) and cooked for 30 more minutes covered on a low flame.

I did cook as above. The fish itself is tasteless. I can see the second part possibly adding some flavor.

How does your regular gefilte fish differ?
Maybe this one is missing something your other fish had, so add it!

I wouldn’t touch it. Deep frying gives it flavor.

These go well served with scallion dip on the side.

Baking gefilte fish gives it much more flavor.

You can mix onions with olive oil and spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, oregano) cover the fish with it and bake covered for an hour to an hour and a half and then uncovered until it's light brown.

Or sauté lots of onions and garlic and put on the fish and bake covered for at least an hour.
