Gefilte Fish Terrine

[diablita]

I made this recipe for Rosh Hashana at a friend's request (made it for Passover earlier in the year) and it got rave reviews again.  Real gefilte fish isn't possible in this town because the markets don't get the kind of white fish that's required.  But everyone says they like this more.

It's a bit of dirty work to chop and grind the fish (especially for a vegetarian) but so worth it for the rave reviews.  It does not make the gel that goes with boiling gefilte fish.  We serve with the magic red horseradish sauce (that can only be purchased at one market here and therefore all the local Jews go nuts for).

I made it with 1# salmon, 1# halibut ($$), 1# cod (Last time I made it with 2# salmon, 1# halibut)

that recipe reads as MUCH more appealing than the traditional way my grandmother prepared it

I wasn't a fan of hers. sorry, gramma
Even doctoring it up. sorry gramma


I think it is because we were often wandering through or hanging out in the kitchen while prep was taking place.

I know nothing of gefilte fish prep. All I know of them is that are sold by the jar and it is a sad color. I never tried it.

the stuff in the jar is particularly bad

All of a Kind Family described the process. They didn't have a food processor.
