   2                    cucumbers
     1/2  cup           sour creme
   3      tablespoons   vinegar

   1      teaspoon      salt

Preparation:

Peel and chop cucumbers. Mix with other ingredients and chill for at least 2 hours. Slice smoked fish thinly. Place a slice of fish on a thin buttered slice of pumpernickel or a crisp cracker. Top with a spoonful of cucumber dip as a canape; or serve in a bowl with a plate of crackers and a plate of dipping-side pieces of smoked fish for do-it-yourself guests.
