Fish dumplings from Jewish cuisine
The name of this traditional Jewish dish comes from the German Gefüllte Fisch, which translates to stuffed fish. They are actually dumplings or meatballs made from minced fish meat and other ingredients. Originally, the mixture was stuffed back into the fish skin, which explains the name ‘stuffed fish’.
In Jewish tradition, every festive meal is supposed to include fish. Gefilte fish is served as an appetizer and is prepared on festive occasions such as Shabbat.

- 2 raw eggs

- 2-3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- sugar, salt and pepper
- fish or vegetable stock
The simple procedure can be mastered even by novice cooks. Grind the boneless fish meat and mix with grated onion and 2 raw eggs. Season with salt, pepper and lightly with ground sugar. Fine-tune the final ‘meatball’ consistency by adding breadcrumbs. With wet hands, form smaller dumplings and cook them in the stock for approximately 10 minutes. You can then decorate them with a slice of cooked carrot.
Both hot and cold versions are great
