Followed the recipe and it did indeed come out disappointingly dry. I intended to use the gefilte fish as a main course though my husband historically viewed it as an appetizer. A late moment of inspiration and I mixed several splashes of sriracha hot chili sauce with chicken bone broth (used earlier to mash potatoes) and spooned it over the dry fish. He said that he enjoyed it more than he thought he would.
