I would rate this higher than a 5 if I could. The combination of fruit, fish, spices & Herbs is perfect. When I made the dip and tasted it I thought "it's okay" but after it mellowed for a couple of housrs and in combination with everything else it is perfect. There is a computer error - it reads 5-5 1/2 ounce fish filets I am sure that is meant as 5 1/2 ounce filets - that is what I used and it was perfect for 3 cushionsI did not take off a star becaue of this simply because I enjoyed the recipe so much I used a fork to crimp the edges to tightly seal the cushions. They sealed perfectly. Used a whole chili pepper. This recipe is a bit work intensive but well worth every bit of it -I served it as an appetizer with my Sunday Martini Mmmm I wish you luck in the contest this is a winning recipe

This has great potential. I just loved the little "pillows." I can think of many ways to adapt this.I had difficulty with the directions. Was the fish suppossed to be 5 fillets that weighed 5 1/2 ozs each, or was it one fillet that weighed between 5 ozs and 5 1/2 ozs?(of course it's not hard for me to get confused!) I used white sandwich bread, but not sure if that was what the creator intended. I ended up with so much fish (because of above noted confusion) I ended up using almost an entire loaf of bread to use up it all up. On step #7 it said to "use also the fluid," I was not sure what that meant. Despite those points, I think this cook is onto a terrific idea and with tweaking could have a terrific recipe.
