  I’m not sure if you are looking for more of a “fish” filet, but this recipe for
  ‘tuna’ salad is awesome

  1(15 oz.) can chick-peas, drained (or 1.5 c. cooked)
  1/8 - 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise (I agree that the original recipe calls for way too much mayo. I only used about 2 tablespoons (1/8 cup) for mine, so just add it a spoonful at a time until you’ve added however much works for you.)
  1/3 cup minced celery
  2.5 Tablespoons minced dill pickle or kosher dill relish (about 1 pickle-slice, give or take)
  1/2 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
  1 green onion, chopped
  1 teaspoon soy sauce
  1/2 teaspoon kelp powder or dulse flakes
  pepper, to taste

  In a medium bowl, mash the chick-peas coarsely with a fork. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Eat on crackers or on a sandwich.

  1/2 tbsp. poppy seeds

  1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  1/2 cup celery, chopped

  Also, there are some good vegetarian fish alternatives out there. Check your local health food store (the fake salmon is especially nice!)
