--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      pounds        fish fillets (whitefish and pike -- 1 1/2 pounds each)
   4      medium        bermuda onions -- peeled and diced
                        -- (about 2 pounds)
   3      tablespoons   vegetable or canola oil
   4      large         eggs
   2      cups          cold water
   6      tablespoons   matzah meal
   1      tablespoon    salt or to taste
   2      teaspoons     ground white pepper
   2      tablespoons   sugar
   2      large         carrots -- peeled
                        parsley for garnish

Have your fish store grind the fillets or grind them yourself in a food
processor or meat grinder. Do not puree but fine grind. Saute the diced onions
in the oil until soft and transparent but not brown. Cool. In the bowl of an
electric mixer place fish, onions, eggs, water, matzah meal, salt white
pepper, and sugar. Beat at medium speed for 15 minutes. Grate in the carrots
and mix well. Pour the mixture into a greased 12-cup bundt pan. Smooth the top
with a spatula and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven, for 1 hour in a larger
pan filled with 2 inches of water. Cover with aluminum foil and continue
baking for 1 hour or until the center is solid. Cool for 5 minutes and then
invert onto a flat serving plate. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Slice as you would for a torte and serve as an appetizer, garnish with
parsley.

Yield: 20 appetizer servings
