Ingredients:
1 lb. (500 gm.) ground fish, or 2 lbs. (1 kg.) whole fish (carp, silver carp, or whitefish, and pike)
1/2 cup matzah meal
black pepper to taste
4 Tbsp. salt
6 Tbsp. sugar
2 eggs
1 carrot
3 onions
oil

Directions:
Slice 2 onions. Saute a small amount of oil in frying pan over a small flame, until soft and translucent, but not brown. If using whole fish, clean and grind fish. Grind the fried onions. Mix fish well with the onions. Add matzah meal, eggs, 3 Tbsp. sugar, 2 Tbsp. salt, and black pepper. Let set 15 minutes. Fill a medium-sized pot halfway with water. Add sliced carrot, 1 sliced onion, 2 Tbsp. salt, 3 Tbsp. sugar, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Make fish balls with wet hands, place the balls into the simmering stock. Cook for 3/4 hour. When it has cooled, pour the sauce into a jar and refrigerate until it jells. Use the gel as garnish. Serves 15.

Variation: Spicy Baked Gefilte Fish: Combine 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water, salt and pepper to taste. Pour over cooked gefilte fish pieces. Bake 1/2 hour at 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C.)
