Gefilte fish dilemma not just a lot of carp
WASHINGTON — In time for the Passover season, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged to resolve a trade dispute that is holding up a shipment of American-caught fish destined for Israeli plates as gefilte fish. Getting the Asian carp filets, used to make gefilte fish, from an Illinois fishery to an Israeli processing plant “sounds to me like one of those issues that should rise to the highest levels of our government,” Clinton told the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee. Rep. Don Manzullo (R-IL) said Israel had slapped a 120 percent import duty on the fish and requested Clinton’s help in resolving the matter before the Israelis sit down for their Seders on March 29.
