• 1 lb. cold, seasoned and grilled (well done) fish filet.
  (Fresh grouper, snapper, tuna or wahoo are best.)
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 2 sticks celery, chopped small
• 1/4 of a red onion, chopped small
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped small
• 1/3 of a bunch of fresh dill, chopped fine (need lots of dill!)
• Approximately 1 cup (more or less) mayo.

Flake fish into a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice. Add chopped veggies and dill. Add the mayo. Mix well with a fork or potato masher. Fish should be blended fine and “wet” with mayo. If dry, mix in additional mayo. Serve with crackers.
