Ingredients

    1 can mackerel (15 oz.) or 1 mackerel cooked and deboned
    1 c. sweet onion (red or vidalia), chopped
    1 c. celery, chopped
    1 c. cucumber, chopped (1 small)
    4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
    1/4 c. mayonnaise, light
    1/4 c. parsley
    1 to 2 T. lemon juice
    1 to 2 T. fresh dill (about 5 sprigs)
    1 to 2 T. fresh basil
    salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

If fish is fresh, poach, let cool and debone (greatly increasing the cooking time). Otherwise, chop the veggies, remove the backbones from the canned mackerel (if necessary), then mix ingredients together. Edible immediately, but flavors blend best if left in refrigerator a couple of hours before serving. Herb amounts vary greatly due to taste and availability of fresh herbs. Remember to decrease amount to 1/3 if using dried herbs, and that seasoning can easily be added to taste but adjusting down is tough.
