Author Notes: These whimsical fish food sculptures are easy to make from citrus fruits.
Supplies: 2 lemons
1 lime
2 allspice berries

Instructions:

1. On work surface, position lemon on side to form fish body. If it rolls,
trim away a small slice to create a flat bottom.

2. Cut a round slice from second lemon. Towards back of fish body,

cut small slit; insert round slice to form fin.

3. Also from second lemon, cut small, quarter-moon-shaped slice

of rind. Make small incision in top of fish; insert rind to form head.

toothpicks to form fins.

to form eyes. In centers, attach allspice berries.
