My friend Dawn and I were quite inspired by the demostration we saw a couple of weeks ago showing the steps to make gefilte fish from scratch. It's easier than we thought and we agreed to try a small batch ourselves.I bought 2 pounds of tilapia (whitefish is already out of season, because Passover is "late" this year), and brought it to Dawn's house tonight, along with my ancient food processor. The kids played together while we made the fish stock and a dozen fish dumplings (this photo shows the dumplings before they were cooked). We went home while the dumplings cooked (they take an hour) and Dawn took them out and put them in the frig.
We tried a small bite before I left and it was very good, but the real the test will be Saturday night at our group seder. Our friend Chris doesn't like gefilte fish, but agreed to try ours. We'll see what the masses think.

those look very tasty, like those jalapeno poppers you can get. i had always pictured gefilte fish as being made with cod and kind of watery.
