I made a batch of gefilte fish batter with a lot of kasif. I boiled one ball to taste it, and I don't like it. It is too gooey. I find bought Israeli loaves very gooey, too. I like a texture like Ungar's. Any advice on what I can do now? I can add anything in to dry it out.
Thanks!

It is all cooked? We love our gefilta fish baked, not boiled. It is much firmer. When I make gefilta fish I line the pan with parchment paper and bake it in a 9x13 pan which I then slice into four pieces and freeze three for different weeks.

It isn't cooked. I'll try baking some. How long do you bake it for? covered or uncovered?

Any ideas like adding more water, eggs, matza meal, etc? I can't figure out which ingredients make it rubbery, and I don't want it like that.

Sometimes this recipe comes out perfect, and sometimes the texture is just off.

I put mine in a loaf pan, top with a little sauce (salsa or pasta sauce), cover with foil and bake in a 375 F oven for about 1 1/2 hours. It doesn't hurt to bake it for up to 2 hours. We also like it fairly firm and this works for us.

For a drier fish you definitely need to bake it.

We just drizzle a little oil over the top, bake uncovered for 1.5 hours. (well, that's when you're starting with frozen.)

My father likes his fish dryer. I cook usually cook it in the water and then bake it afterwards as well. But baking it by it self would be fine too. I know a lot of people who just bake their fish.

It it's unfrozen, press into loaf pan, rub top with olive oil, and bake at 350 uncovered for 70-90 minutes.

If it's frozen, rub entire loaf with olive oil, place in loaf pan, and bake as above.
