The Blessing over Gefilte Fish - Ish Tsadik
Question:
Why do we recite the blessing of "Shehakol" over Gefilte Fish instead of "Mezonos," given that it contains breadcrumbs?
Answer

Since the breadcrumbs are intended only to act as a binding agent (Ledabek) and not to provide flavor (Ta’am), the rule that “the flavor of grain is never nullified” does not apply here. This was the ruling written regarding this question by the Maharshag (Part 2, Siman 32).
