Here is quote from NYT "Duke’s mayonnaise, which is free of sweeteners and tangier than most factory versions, is my favorite, but it is available only in stores in the Southern states. (It can also be ordered online.) I like to add crème fraîche or sour cream for chicken salad, which fluffs the texture of the dressing; mayonnaise alone can be greasy.
I hate skin on fish and sometimes you can't find skinless. I need to try this...you spread the mayo on the skin, then cook and you can just pull the skin off? Wow...I love that.
