Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 pounds Mixed fat and lean fish
3 larges Onions
1 Egg, beaten
¾ cup Cold water
1 teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Matzo meal
½ teaspoon Pepper
1 large Onion, chopped
2 Carrots, thin sliced
Salt and pepper
2 Or more egg yolks
Horseradish

Directions

Remove the skin and bones from the fish. Pike is often used. Put the fish and onions through a fine food chopper. Put this mixture in a large bowl and add the egg, water, salt, Matzo meal and pepper. Mix well until fluffy. Place the fish heads, skin and bones in a large pot with the 4th onion, carrots salt and pepper to taste and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Wet hands for better handling and form the ground fish mixture into small balls. Drop them into the boiling stock. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 2 hrs. Remove the fish balls.

Boil uncovered to reduce the stock, strain it, and thicken with egg yolks. Serve sauced with horseradish on the side.
