RSJ’s Smoked Yellowfin Tuna Dip
The smoked tuna dip at Harbor docks is, by far, the best in the area. Actually, it’s the best I have ever tasted.

After several failed attempts, and facing a cookbook deadline, I finally worked up a recipe for smoked crab dip, which is excellent, though my wife still prefers Harbor Docks smoked tuna dip.
