Gefilte Fish
Gefilte Fish (pronunciation: /ɡəˈfɪltə fɪʃ/) is a traditional Jewish dish that is often served on Shabbat and Jewish holidays such as Passover. The name "gefilte fish" is derived from the German word "gefüllter Fisch," which means "stuffed fish."
Etymology
The term "gefilte fish" comes from the Yiddish language, which was heavily influenced by German. The word "gefilte" is derived from the German word "gefüllt," which means "stuffed," and "fish" is a direct translation of the German word "Fisch." Thus, "gefilte fish" literally translates to "stuffed fish."
Preparation
Gefilte fish is traditionally made from a mixture of ground deboned fish, usually white-fleshed freshwater fish such as carp, pike, or whitefish. The fish mixture is combined with various ingredients such as onions, eggs, and matzo meal, and then shaped into balls or patties. These are then boiled in a fish broth until they are fully cooked.
