Mrs. Markovitz's Stuffed Fish Roll

When I lived in Pittsburgh, Mrs. Markovitz was my downstairs neighbor, landlord, and a great cook. My family ate these fish rolls at her house for dinner one night. When I asked her for the recipe she said she did not have one! She invited me to watch her make it the next time and this is roughly what I came up with.
