Directions: |
Directions:Fish Broth: Put all ingredients into cheesecloth or stock pot strainer to keep bones, etc from getting into soup. Add water to cover all ingredients. Cover and boil for 20-30 minutes in stock pot. Strain. Save carrots for decoration.
Fish Batter: The 15 lbs of fish should be ground at store without the head and bones to yield 7 # fish. Head, bones, skin (no eyes) are used to make broth above. Beat eggs and mix with matza meal. Add mixture to fish and beat with a hand mixer. Add rest of ingredients. Make 3 inch oblong patties. In large oblong, oven safe pot, boil about 2-3 inches of fish broth or enough to cover a first layer of fish "patties". Cook until set (avoid floating the patties). Then add more patties and enough broth to cover; cook until set. Repeat until all the patties are added. Put pot in oven at 300 F for 1 1/2 hours. Pull patties out of broth immediately and put on trays to refrigerate until Seder time. |
