Classic Gefilte Fish
The debate is not over whether to serve gefilte fish, but over what condiments should accompany it. Both white and red spicy horseradish come in jars designated as Strong, Double Strong, Triple Strong and Clear-Your-Sinuses. Then there's red sweet horseradish and, of course, mayonnaise. Chrayonaise, another popular choice, is equal parts red horseradish mixed with mayo. Here's a hot tip: Wasabi sauce is the latest gefilte condiment rage. The colder the fish the better, I think. About half an hour before the meal, I slice and arrange the fish on a platter, and keep it chilling in the refrigerator until just before serving.

when placing the gefilte loaf, i have to wait for it to come to a boil and then simmer or place the loaf and reduce heat?
add loaf make sure comes to a boil again with the gefilte loaf in the pot of water then reduce heat to simmer
Having grown up on homemade and yes them making my own, I do not know how anyone can eat that stuff that comes in a frozen roll with paper around it. I once tried it , took one taste then let my husband eat the rest. Sorry I really taste a huge difference.
And mybobba’s comments help how? Sounds like you had a bad day and had nothing better to do than insult everyone else.

— Mybobba I can certainly understand that it’s a acquired taste but it’s really all about what you grow up with — Hubby was raised on jarred gefilte and he doesn’t like it, he LOVES it!!!
Loved your video recipe for cooking the A&B frozen gefilte fish. Looks scruptious.
Can you tell me where to find it here in the greater Oklahoma City area. I’ve looked every where we usually find (at least biblicly kosher foods)but can’t find any.

Hi Omer — have you tried the kosher section of Shoprite or Wegmen’s or Stop n Shop or Ralph’s or Kroeger’s not sure what chains you have out there — will be in the freezer section.
