Instructions: FISH: Drain the potatoes and let them cool. Peel and dice into 1/2 inch pieces. Combine potatoes, carrots, peas, onion, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Using approximately half, arrange a one-inch 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 youre not serving this for a party, or just dont want to go to all this trouble, mold the fish mixture into oiled custard cups and unmold on a plate of tomato slices.
