Hock until mixture coats blade, add some matzo meal and hock some more.. It is VERY important to hock at least 15 minutes. When water is boiling, wet hands with cold water. form one ball and slip it into the boiling water. If it breaks apart, add more matzo meal to wooden bowl and hock. Always make a test piece before adding all the fish to the water. THE BALLS MUST HOLD TOGETHER AND FLOAT IN THE WATER. Form balls and gently slip into boiling water. add more water as needed. Bring water back to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, shaking pot every 15 minutes. After 1 hour taste and adjust sweetness.
