1. Chill a metal 6-cup fish mold in the freezer. Sprinkle gelatin over ¼ cup cold water to soften. Add the boiling water and stir until gelatin dissolves. Put in the refrigerator to cool, about 5 minutes. (Do not allow gelatin to set.)

|
3. Pour ½ cup of gelatin liquid into fish mold and tip it to spread into all the crevices. Arrange olive and pimiento slices as scales, eyes, and tail. Place mold in freezer for 15 minutes. Pour ¼ cup more of gelatin mixture into mold and return to freezer.
|
4. Beat or blend cream cheese and add remaining ½ cup gelatin liquid to it. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Do not let it set completely. Spread cheese mixture over bottom and sides of mold.
