Love this video. Love your canned fish videos in general, but being Jewish, I look forward to consuming Gefilte Fish at Passover (and perhaps for a week thereafter) every year. I love the taste in general, but, for sure, mild horseradish is an integral part of the experience. It is an acquired taste, but I'm real glad I acquired the taste for it. By the way, it is usually served chilled. At least that's how I have experienced it for 70+ years now.
"Gosh, that looks neat, I wonder if I would like it?" Is exactly what I think every time I see something odd like gefilte fish at the store. I still haven't tried it yet, but maybe someday soon?
I was so upset thinking you werent gonna have it with horseradish! That is how it is traditionally eaten during passover. By itself it is bland, but it is brought to an entirely new level with horseradish. Really glad you enjoyed it in that way!
Ha, usually I pride myself on doing zero research, but since it's kind of a cultural thing, plus I'm not gonna try it again at least until next year, I figured I'd ask some friends and not completely whiff it! Thanks for watching!
I haven't heard the word "Gefilte" in decades. I grew up on Pettys Bayou, Spring Lake, Michigan. The bayou connected to Spring Lake and ultimately Lake Michigan. The bridge (Bowen Bridge) between Pettys and Spring Lake was were they netted "Gefilte" fish (carp) every year. Once a year a giant tanker truck showed up and a big net was lowered by the bridge. They took what looked like tons of carp and they transported them alive. I asked what they did with them and they told me they were sold to the Jews in Chicago (as I recall). Great video! That horseradish condiment made me mighty hungry.
i always dig the simple background beeps and boops. very soothing yet intriguing. as for the invitation to get oily during a livestream, bro you are just way too romantic.
Also, growing up I always called it “filter fish” because I thought it was made from the fish that got stuck in pool filters. At least that’s what my uncle told me at Seder.
Yes, it is a way of "stretching" fish, but it's also a way of making carp compatible with the Sabbath. In some religious communities, picking bones is "work" and so eating carp is hard and/or impossible without breaking the rules. Gefilte fish is a way of preparing carp beforehand so you can relax and reflect on family/spiritual matters. Sometimes the meat is carefully removed from the skin such that the meat can be stuffed back into the fish. This is where the word Gefilte comes from, it just means "filled fish" (if it were an English word, we would probably call it "stuffed carp"). I very much like the idea of gefilte fish, but sweet fish products disgust me. I would love a "no sugar added" gefilte fish though.
"Gefilte" is the Yiddish derivative from the German "gefüllt", literally "filled", which in culinary English would be called, "stuffed". Don't warm it up, just add really strong horseradish, preferably red (beet-based). The "real homemade" Gefilte fish takes one day to make and is a lot of work.
Its like watching a horror movie where the monster is just ripping intestines in the air blood flying everywhere. Its horrible,just gross BUT I CANT LOOK AWAY.. the exact feeling i have watching this channel..
We used to eat this with matzo and beetradish. The stock was made less sweet from fishbone stock. My parents and grandparents are from back east and we celebrated passover as a tradition with a bunch of their friends and families that lived in the retirement community that they lived in. They kept the pond/lake stocked with carp and the old folks would fish them out to make the gefilte. They were pretty inventive with their recipes at times because I've had it made with smoked carp and it was less loaf like and more like the consistency of crab cakes.
I make my own horseradish and beets....and grow them both so the fresh horseradish rocks your world. It's a big Polish condiment.....Ćwikła z Chrzanem. Try it on some pickled herring on dark rye bread....dill on top....oh man so good!
I saw a Chris Tucker "out-takes" after one of his movies w/ Jackie Chan I believe, but he had to try to say Gefilte fish for dozens of takes they showed at the end of the movie. For SOME reason you brought that back to mind...
Hey man you gotta try the Mrs. Adler's line of Gefilte Fish. What you had was basically the main brand of Jewish holidays , which isn't bad at all but you're missing out on all the real ones. The Adler's line has one called the "Special Sweet" Recipe aka the Oldschool style and there's a Pike N' Whitefish one you need to try. Recommend them both cold and maybe have them on a matzah or a cracker. They're legit as hell. Anyways love the videos, was cracking up at the horseradish part and the Mega Man music.
big fan of the megaman music used. obviously you're a musician, and you obviously have excellent taste. about to try my first sardines today thanks to you, wish me luck
I’ve always had it served cold as a salad course on Passover, with Gold’s beet horseradish, lettuce, tomato and red bell pepper, matzo on the side, and a Manischevitz Concord grape chaser.
@@GOITERBALL this is only from European Jewish culinary traditions. We weren't protected by Christian laws historically (up until Napoleon) so we had to make due with whatever food was left over.
Thats how I always had it growing up, but one passover we spent over someone elses house and they made home made gefilte fish that they served warm. I would do it like that again.
It is not for snacking. It is a vehicle for getting homemade horseradish into the face hole. If you don’t participate in epic family throw-downs of who can make the spiciest horseradish on Pesach, what are you even doing here?
@@GhostofJamesMadisonlol. Just remember the everyday working class Js have nothing to do with any of this. Plenty of good ones, it's the top ones you have to watch.
The stuff you get frozen in a big loaf are where it's at. Some people are raised on the jarred stuff (I am not a fan), but if you boil the frozen loaf with a couple carrots and onions, let it cool to room temp and serve it sliced up with some horse radish, it's pretty darn good.
@@philg6115 I believe there are 'take a penny leave a penny' dishes scattered across The States at every local fish market. They are made from all the used 'dine cans from all the episodes. I believe they have printed labels that read : Darnit, Dean. I need a million bucks.. Seems like a good place to start, but what do I know, I'm just a catfish.
I come from a Jewish family and we never heated that crap up, use it like a pate' and spread it on Matzo, it's also really good on Triscuits especially the flavored ones
I know that I would love this because I have always liked canned fish...I need to try it, been wanting to for years, and I also love horseradish... Thanks for the great video! 👍
Love your videos but I can't help but notice the strymon zuma in the background along with all the other pedals. That pedal collection is impressive. You make all your own music for channel?
I haven't tried gefilte fish before, but I just bought 2 huge Costco boxes of matzos the other day because I think that's the ultimate type of bread/cracker to have my precious deenz on!!
I like fish. So when you appeared on my feed I decided to get oily with you and watch. Yup: I've always enjoyed a can of sardines or kipper snacks from time to time. I have had a couple of cans in my pantry for a while, if I need a go-bag, they're ready for action and the taste is pretty satisfying. I just think these are it's some of the more off-beat themed videos I've seen in a while - the canned fish topic. I was wondering if there's any interest in expanding to how to cook with fish. I took a stab at a shrimp bisque/chowder tonight. It was surprisingly yummy. Anything on how to cook with anchovy would be interesting, too - it shows up in the darndest of places. Thanks for posting. An odd market, but there you are.
Gefilte fish is traditionally served chilled, with beet horseradish...usually as an appetizer. "Gefilte" is Yiddish for "filled." Homemade gefilte fish is so much better than anything you can get in jars, but it's a great deal of work to make from scratch. My late mother used to make it twice a year, on Passover and the Jewish New Year. I loved watching you enjoy it!
Great content...love the appropriate timing. "Chag Sameach" is usually a good way to wish someone a Joyous Festival. And that beet horseradish is dynamite on many things. If you aren't keeping kosher, it is excellent with ham (ideally roasted, spiral cut, etc.)
I've never eaten sardines. Im definitely going to try one after watching most of your videos. But after seeing you enjoy that horse radish so much idk if my pallet can handle it. You make it look soo good but I'm sort of a picky eater.
The first time I ever had gefilte fish it reminded me of a Swedish jellied ground veal dish called silta (not sure of the spelling, that is how I heard it growing up) which we had around Christmas time. Definitely an acquired taste.
I used to get jars of this at the food pantry when i was Homeless in the North. SO VERY BLAND, but a great source of Protein in a pinch. Never knew about the Horseradish Beet sauce :(
Not sure if you've answered this before, but are you ever going to do more of your other style videos? "In It" and the Todd Snyder Catalog Therapy one are some of my favorites of yours. Not complaining bout all these 'dine vids though. Anything you do is amazing!
I do plan on it. It's what I'd really like to do. The fish thing hit, so I'm going where the wind takes me for now. I guess all those other videos are just not searchable enough. Or people don't realize they want to see something like that until it's right in front of them. My crazy grand plan is to build enough of a subscriber base that I can spin off some new channels and hopefully have them be a success. But I really appreciate your interest in the meantime! Every once in a while, I'll do a rando video just to take the temp for that kind of thing.

My man freehand poured the jellied fish broth soup directly over his modular synth cabinet..
