Gefilte Fish for Seder

Now you know what food stylists do - they make food look good for photography.  But this is what it really looks like.  Thanks, Jo, for the picture!
I just follow the directions on the package, which is a frozen 1 lb block of gefilte fish.
Boil it in water to cover, in the parchment wrapping, for about 90 minutes, adding onion for flavor and sliced carrots.  You can just put in baby carrots and slice them afterwards.  Add about 1 T. sugar.  (Consult the package, but I think that's it!)
Each loaf makes about 10 slices.  Lay them out on romaine lettuce leaves, spoon horseradish on, and garnish with carrot slices.
People all have lots of opinions on gefilte fish.  This is as good as any I've had.  Seems like one of those foods that has limited upside, so go with what is easy and attractive.  (I can barely look at the stuff in the bottles.)
