Horseradish Whitefish Salad

Out of all the traditional Rosh Hashanah foods we enjoy, fish seems to get the least amount of airtime. Perhaps that’s because apples and honey or round challot are more tempting than fish heads. Perhaps. But this doesn’t have to be the case.

Since Rosh Hashanah translates to the “head of the year”, many literally eat a fish head to start off the New Year. Fish is also a sign of fertility, another good reason to go fish. But, it doesn’t have to replace Bubbe’s beloved brisket as the main course. Whip up this Rosh Hashanah appetizer twist on classic whitefish salad with a spicy horseradish bite.
