Recipe - Mayonnaise Of Fish

FISH MIXTURE
2 Red potatoes, boiled
3 lg Carrots, cooked and minced
1 cup Peas, frozen petite, cooked
One half cup Yellow Onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
1 cup Mayonnaise
10 ounce Firm, white fish, cooked and
flaked

GARNISH
One half Cucumber, seeded
3 sl Carrot, cooked
Boston lettuce, julienned

FISH: Drain the potatoes and let them cool. Peel and dice into One half inch
pieces. Combine potatoes, carrots, peas, onion, salt, pepper and One half cup
mayonnaise. Using approximately half, arrange a oneinch thick layer of
vegetable mixture on a platter in the shape of a fish. Layer the fish
pieces on top. Add rest of vegetables and smooth with a spatula. Coat with
rest of mayonnaise

GARNISH: Slice the cucumber paper thin and place on fish like scales,
working from the tail forward and overlapping them. Use very thin strips of
carrot to outline where the head meets the body. Use more carrot to make a
small fin and a mouth. Use a pea centered on a small carrot round for the
eye. Surround the fish with julienned lettuce.

If you're not serving this for a party, or just don't want to go to all
this trouble, mold the fish mixture into oiled custard cups and unmold on a
plate of tomato slices.
