At the time of the Mishna (200 CE), rabbis deemed it meritorious to eat fish on the Sabbath and Jews became accustomed to eating fish at festive meals. Gefilte fish, which has been called the quintessential Jewish food, is an especially popular fish to serve at the Passover Seder meal.
Gefilte fish is eaten on Sabbath and Festivals throughout the year. It has no specific relevance to Passover.

Fish that have fins and scales
There is no such thing as "raw" gefilte fish, unless you are making it from scratch and eating the unpoached mousse mixture. It's made of ground fish, matzah meal, eggs, onion, and seasoning that is boiled in a pot with vegetables. The jelly around it is the poaching liquid chilled off (it naturally jells). You eat it cold, with some of the chilled jelly and horseradish. Some groups eat this dish hot, either baked or pan-fried.
