Assembly:
Cover and bring to a rapid boil. Uncover and reduce heat. Simmer for about 2-1/2 hours until the stock has been reduced to less than 1/2. Carefully remove the fish to a container with sides such as a 9"x13" baking pan. Strain the stock and pour over the fish. Add carrots as a garnish. Cool and refrigerate until stock gels.

Nutritional Info Per Serving: N/A
Fish heads, skin and bones
2 quarts water
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Pinch of sugar
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 medium onion
2 pounds buffalo
1 pound whitefish
1 medium onion
3 eggs, well beaten
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. sugar
3 tbsp. matzo meal or cracker crumbs
1/3 cup water
Put all broth ingredients in a large Dutch oven and boil for 30 minutes.
Grind the fish and onion in a food grinder twice using the fine blade or puree in food processor. Mix the remainder of ingredients in well.
Carefully place fish balls into the fish broth. Liquid should cover the fish. If not, add more water.
My favorite recipe is the old standard from Love & Knishes. First, she says that any fish will do but it is best to use 2 pounds of fat fish to one pound of lean fish.
