Gefilte Fish - געפֿילטע פֿיש

[nozero]

Mmmm! Finally got my wife to pick some up at the grocery store. Just had some with a little white horseraddish on the side. I've not had any of this since I was about 17. It's not for everybody, but I love it.

Good idea, I'll try it. The horseradish was Manishevitz "creamy", not near hot. And yes, I'm Jewish if that's what you mean?

It is poached fish patties or balls made from a mixture of ground deboned fish, mostly carp. It's the only carp I've ever liked.

You know, I remember eating gefilte fish, chopped liver and tongue as a kid. How the hell did I do that?

Never developed a taste for chopped liver and have not ever tried tongue and probably won't. I like lox too, but no pickled herring please.

I love my horseradish with a little Gefilte fish on the side!

Soul food Bro...mm mm Lox Wings and Potato's...:dr

[Darrell]

Sounds OK to me. :)

[Stog-a-Boy]

I love the stuff...especially with super hot horseradish.

I went gefilte fishing this morning, didn't catch sh^t!

[bigloo]

My mom used to make this **** before most jewish holidays. The house would stink of fish. My dad and one brother loved it. Myself and my other brother feared it. Alot of things are an aquired taste, gefilte fish is something you know right away if you like, it is like jellied fish balls made from multiple fishes, dam, just reading this I can smell that thick fish smell again:) ... next up, pickled herring, discuss amongst yourselves.

[n3uka]

Try Boars Head horseradish. Last time I had it, it was super hot.
First time I shed a tear eating gefilte fish.

Gonna have to try it with wasabi now.

[mosesbotbol]

Not a fan of the pre-made stuff. The fish jelly it is packed in is just awful...

Never had homemade gefilte fish.

Love homemade horseradish though!

Try using fresh horseradish. Shred it and use like fresh garlic in cooking. It cooks very mild in oil.

What you don't know doesn't hurt you. I enjoyed tongue the first (and only) time I tried it...until I found out what it was! :rolleyes:

Good to hear the horseradish recommendations...nothing goes better with rare roast beef! :dr :dr :dr

Tongue tastes like brisket.

I have a problem eating anything that tastes me back :eek:

I eat gefilte fish once a year. Gotta have hot horseraddish with it. Once had some from an up-scale grocery. It was awful, and about $25 a pound.

[tsolomon]

My wife makes gefilte fish every year for passover and I can tell you that homemade is the only way to go. It's mostly Carp with a little Whitefish and sometimes Pike thrown in. Add a little purple horseradish and it's pretty good eating. :D

[Flatsix]

Help me out here.

Gelfite Fish is not a particular kind of fish but instead a way of curing or canning fish?
The fish is put into a gelatin?
What else is in the gelatin to keep it fresh?
What does it taste like?

You stole my freaking line!!! I tell people this all the time when tongue enters a conversation. Hmm...tongue enters the conversation...

And Gregg, yep, picture a Matzoh Ball but instead of being a bready ball that floats in soup, you've got a Matzoh Fish Ball. Think meatball, but made of fish and (not bread crumbs but) matzoh (giant square cracker) crumbs. The jelly, I guess, is just to preserve it...sometimes they throw carrots in there. Once the jelly sits out a bit, it kinda liquifies so it's not so gross lookin' (picture translucent puss).

What's it taste like...hmmm......:hm

No freakin' clue. I can't really say it tastes like anything else. Very slightly like fish, very slightly like a matzoh ball. Add in the horseradish & you've got yerself a delicacy.

And for the record, I love pickled creamed herring.

they are fish balls made from a mixture of different fishes. The bones of the fish are use to make a sauce. As the bones are gelatinous, when the sauce goes cold, it become jelly. So, you make a fish ball using ground fish from different fish and boil it along with the bones to cook it. The liquid is poured over the fish balls, put into the fridge, it becomes jelly, you eat it with the hotest horseraddish money can buy to hide the taste:)

Just a little horseradish????

I love it buried in horseradish, white or red, as long as it has some sinus-clearing ability!

:D

Some people like it, but I'm not even going to try it. :confused:
