About Gefilte fish
Gefilte fish is a traditional dish originating from Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, typically served during holidays like Passover. This dish is made by grinding together a combination of white fish such as carp, pike, or whitefish, and mixing it with ingredients like onions, eggs, matzo meal, and seasonings. The mixture is shaped into balls or patties, then simmered in a flavorful fish broth. Gefilte fish is rich in protein, low in saturated fat, and offers essential omega-3 fatty acids from the fish, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. However, variations may include added sugar or salt, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring sodium intake or blood sugar levels. Often served chilled with horseradish, gefilte fish is a nutrient-packed dish with cultural significance while offering a balanced nutritional profile when prepared thoughtfully.
