Given how it tastes, I always figured gifilte fish was a sign of God's wrath.
If you are referring to the commercial crap in the grocery stores, you are probably right. I find it tasteless and only fit for conveying horseradish to my mouth - which I could do better with an otherwise empty spoon.
Added chunks of red and spanish onion, carrots and celery that you can both see and taste, along with the use of spices besides salt and maltodextrose are what you should be getting.
stay safe.
