Spiced Gefilte Fish
Gefilte fish, "the" Jewish food for Shabbos and holiday festivities, was invented by some ingenious Jewish women many generations ago to help diners avoid tangling with bones while they ate. The word itself means "filled" in Yiddish, referring to the original practice of filling the fish's skin with ground fish. This original recipe comes straight from my recipe tester, Joy's father-in law, a Philly native like me. It offers an interesting, unexpected flavor.

This recipe looks fantastic!
This was really good. We are not gefilte fish fans but we really liked this. Less fishy-more flavor-not too time consuming. Would def make this again.
