In every recipe I have read for gefillte fish, it says to save the skin &
bones to make a stock "yoiche" in Yiddish (fish soup)  I have no personal
experience with  yellow pike so I couldn't tell you.

What is not an issue?


For example, if the sweet aromatic veggies

For use during the year one would use bread crumbs and for consumption during
Passover one would use matzoh meal. Having said that, I know many, many
Jewish cooks who habitually use matzoh meal no mater what time of year,.
(Personally, I think challah tastes better - but I have a hate-hate
relationship going with matzoh.
Now Shmurah matzoh is another story)

I have never seen a recipe calling for salt fish and so my guess is that it
would be seasoning *for* the fish. But all the cooks I know would just use
salt.
