In a deep bowl, mash the egg yolks with the milk until they form a
smooth paste. Add sugar, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice.
Then beat in the vegetable oil, a teaspoon or so at a time. Add the

cavities with the fish mixture. Garnish with pepper or pimento, and
pass around the remaining lime juice to sprinkle on individual
servings.
