Stuffed fish is the signature dish of Jewish cuisine. It appeared because of the rule prohibiting doing any work on Saturday, including choosing bones from fish. Resourceful housewives came up with the idea of grinding fish, so you don't need to choose bones. This method is especially convenient for cooking river and lake fish, which are bony. This recipe is very similar to the Hebrew gefiltefish, but in a slightly "upbeat", showy presentation.
