Joseph: My grandmother made gefilte fish. She also served boiled carp. It says in my shabbos zemiros BASAR VDAGIM VCHOL MATAMIM. It does not say sushi, gefilte fish, tuna fish, whitefish (etc) nor does it say flanken, pastrami, lamb. It is whatever the individual likes to eat. My children know that we eat fish at every shabbos seudah. While we serve gefilte fish, they know that they can buy sushi if they want it, just like if they want whitefish they can buy it. Moshe Rabbeinu came down from Har Sinai with the luchos, not gefilte fish or smoked salmon.
