Ingredients

3 pounds fish fillets (whitefish and pike, 1 1/2 pounds each)
4 medium Bermuda onions, peeled and diced (about 2 pounds)
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
4 large eggs
2 cups cold water
6 tablespoons matzah meal
1 tablespoon salt or to taste
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
2 large carrots, peeled
Parsley for garnish

Directions

Have your fish store grind the fillets or grind them yourself in a food processor or meat grinder. Do not puree but fine grind. Saute the diced onions in the oil until soft and transparent but not brown. Cool. In the bowl of an electric mixer place fish, onions, eggs, water, matzah meal, salt white pepper, and sugar. Beat at medium speed for 15 minutes. Grate in the carrots and mix well. Pour the mixture into a greased 12-cup bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven, for 1 hour in a larger pan filled with 2 inches of water. Cover with aluminum foil and continue baking for 1 hour or until the center is solid. Cool for 5 minutes and then invert onto a flat serving plate. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Slice as you would for a torte and serve as an appetizer, garnish with parsley.

Hit of the Seder
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The gefilte fish dish was easy to make and reminded me of the one my grandmother made. It has requested both by returning... guests and someone who is doing her own Seder this year!Read more

individual fishies
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Not bad at all... don't love the amount of carrots included. I made them in individual muffin pans, so that they more... closely resembled jarred gefilte fish, and so each guest could easily have his or her own little fishy. It also made serving easier.Read more

FLOUNDER BUNDT CAKE
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone in our family likes to cook. My husband has been making this recipe for Passover for four years. If you follow the... directions it is fool-proof, and even people who profess not to like Gefilte fish,love this (probably because there is no gelatinous sauce. Our table usually has an equal number of Jews and Catholics; my son-in-law's best friend (being unused to Gefilte fish), dubbed it "Flounder Bundt Cake" and at our table the name stuck!Read more

Fabulous Gefilte Fish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe several times and it is wonderful. I garnish with cooked carrot coins and usually make homemade... horseradish. This is absolutely delicious and much easier than the traditional gefilte fish recipes. I get raves every time I serve it.Read more

Excellent recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a delicious recipe but if you want a milder tasting white fish, use all white fish only.
