3 fl oz whole milk, optional
   
2 cup water, optional

1. If the fish fillets are excessively smoky, place in a bowl with the milk and water for 20 minutes. Drain them, rinse, and pat dry. Cut the fillets into 1/4-inch dice and toss with the oil, lemon juice, and black pepper.

2. Wash, drain, and finely shred the radicchio. Toss with the fish cubes and sprinkle with pepper. Let stand at room temperature 10 to 20 minutes before serving.
