This is a traditional homemade Gefilte Fish recipe passed down from my Grandma Sudy:

Ingredients:
1 Whole Whitefish
1 Whole Pike
1 Whole Carp
1 Large Onion
3 Carrots
2-3 Eggs
Matzoh Meal
Salt and Pepper

Make sure to save the skin and bones of the fish.  Grind the fish meat and other ingredients together and form into oval shapes.

At the bottom of the pot wrap the fish bones in the fish skin and add 3 sliced onions, 3 sliced carrots, and celery and cover with water.  Add the fish ovals from above and bring to a boil but not too rapid of a boil.  Cook for 1½ to 2 hours.  Strain the liquid but keep the jelly.

Fish ovals can be served with the carrots and celery from the bottom of the pot.
