8-10 lbs. fish (rock, shad, white and/or Pike)
1 onion, whole
Carrots, sliced
1 carrot, grated
Salt, pepper
1 lg. onion, grated
2 eggs
1/2 c. matzo meal
1/2 stick butter
1/2 c. fish stock

Fish should be filleted and ground. This yields about 4-5 pounds ground fish. Reserve heads and bones. Place heads, bones, several carrots sliced, whole onion, salt and a lot of pepper in large pot of water; bring to boil. Saute grated onion in butter.

In wooden bowl, using hand chopper mix all remaining ingredients with fish. Adjust fish seasoning, adding fresh ground pepper to reduce fishy taste. Form medium size balls, place in boiling water. Simmer, uncovered, for 3 hours. Yields 20 pieces.
