Frayda, thank you for making memories. I was you when I was younger helping my Bubby make the gefilte fish. Today I am the designated Gefilte Fish maker and I am afraid it may end with me. No Yontif is the same without my fish. Your bubbys recipe is quite similar to mine...it is a joy to watch. Thank you for posting this. Peggy Fixman, Montreal
Oh I love this Bubbe! Gib a leck! Braucht ein bissle salz und a bissl zuker...and then she pours a lot in! So funny. Das schmekt beesa!! Jo das schmekt bessa, Liove it!
I only made gefilte fish from scratch once and don't intend to do that again but I loved listening to her speaking the first language I heard as a baby. it brought back good memories. we don't hear yiddish anymore my last aunt who still spoke it is gone. and I miss hearing it. so thank you for posting this.
Very enjoyable! I was surprised that I remembered so much Yiddish from my grandparents. I made gefilte fish yesterday, but I used the food processor for everything!
I love to cook, and love learning from elders about cooking even more. Tell bubby I love her and keep cooking with all that love. I watched this about three times just because how she taught it 👩🍳👌👏👏👏👏🙌🙏🙌🙏
Thank you for posting this GREAT video. It reminds me my grandmother in her kitchen.... What a language, what an humour !! The only question is about the exact weight of sugar and salt :))))) Serge from Paris
Carp makes the best gefilta fish…… but use whatever fleshy fish you can find and reserve the skins for traditional fish-skin wrapping. Avoid tasteless American salmon. This recipe is ok but add a little grated fresh ginger and lime, and avoid all that too much sugar and salt. Make a broth from skins and bones, a white onion and sliced carrot with a little salt and white pepper, for poaching. Wrap each in a previously removed fish skin and secure with toothpick. This is the traditional method……… poach gently for 15 to 20 minutes in the fish broth and serve hot/ warm topped with a carrot slice from the broth …..with single cream. Miss Jenny
