About Gefilte fish balls

Gefilte fish balls are a traditional Jewish dish originating from Eastern European cuisine, typically served during Shabbat and Passover. Made from a blend of ground fish, usually carp, pike, or whitefish, combined with onions, eggs, breadcrumbs, and seasoning, these soft, poached balls are both flavorful and hearty. Often served cold with a side of horseradish, they are packed with protein from the fish, contributing to muscle health and satiety. Low in fat when prepared with lean fish, they can be a healthier choice for those watching their intake. However, some recipes may include added sugar or excess salt, which could be a concern for individuals managing blood sugar or sodium levels. Gefilte fish balls are a nutrient-rich option that reflects the deep cultural traditions and communal meals of Jewish heritage.
