3-4 lb. piece of ono, tuna or other large ocean fish
1 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 large dill pickles, chopped fine
3 Tbsp. chives, chopped
Mix these ingredients and paint the fish liberally inside and out. We use ti leaves in Hawaii to wrap the fish, or you may use commercial foil if you wish. Be sure to use a generous hand in applying the tartar sauce mixture so the fish will absorb some of the fat. Bake 12 minutes to the pound in a 350 degrees F oven. If you like, put the foil or ti -wrapped fish on the barbecue grill and roast about 15 minutes to the pound. Test fish before serving to be sure that it is cooked through. This recipe is really for Hawaiian-developed tastes as we don't like our fish overdone, but cooked only until flesh is firmly set and flaky.
