Instructions

1

Prepare the Cucumbers

Cut cucumbers into half inch thick rounds. Use a small fish shaped cookie cutter to press through each round, creating fish shaped cucumber pieces. Pat each piece dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2

Make the Tuna Filling

In a medium bowl, combine drained tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and dried dill. Stir together until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.

3

Top the Fish Shapes

Place a small teaspoon of tuna mixture onto the center of each fish shaped cucumber piece. Use the back of a spoon to spread it gently without going over the edges.

4

Add Eyes and Serve

Place one small black olive slice on each tuna topped cucumber piece to create a fish eye effect. Arrange all the fish bites on a blue platter decorated to look like the ocean and serve chilled.

Substitutions

tuna in watercanned salmon for a different flavor profile
mayonnaiseGreek yogurt for a lighter and higher protein version

Common mistakes

Not patting the cucumber dry which makes the tuna topping slide off the surface
Overfilling each cucumber piece with too much tuna which makes it difficult to eat in one bite
