Gefilte fish for Passover must be made with matzo meal, because
bread crumbs or flour would render it unfit for Passover use.
(Nothing leavened, and nothing that can potentially become
leavened.)

Gefile fish made with challah crumbs would be parve.  A traditional
challah contains eggs but no dairy products, since it is usually
eaten with a meat meal.  Gefilte fish that included bread made with
milk would be a dairy food, not parve.
