Grandma Fira’s Gefilte Fish

Preparation

Grandma Fira’s Gefilte Fish is our family tradition.

Watch this video to see how to prepare and stuff a carp so that it can grace the holiday table whole!

Prepare the carp as shown in the video, leaving the skin intact.

Prepare the filling: grind the carp trimmings in a blender, then add an egg, 1 onion, salt, sugar, pepper, and semolina.

Fry one more onion and add it.

Stuff the skin with the filling, place it on a baking sheet, pour water over it, and bake for 2 hours at 180 degrees.

Enjoy your meal, and happy holidays!
