Add eggs lightly beaten, a bit at a time & go on after each addition.
Add Matzo meal and 1/2 cup of water.
Process, the mixture should be light, smooth and the consistency almost fluffy If it looks too dry add a little more water- just a bit at a time.
Season well with salt & pepper.
Drop the carrots into the fish stock.
Wet your hands and shape the fish mixture into oval balls like an egg and gently lower them into the simmering stock, put them all in the pot.
