    Prepare the Tuna

    If you haven't already, smoke the yellow fin tuna until fully cooked and flaky, then allow it to cool before flaking it into smaller pieces.

    Mix the Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.

    Add Tuna and Seasoning

    Fold in the flaked smoked yellow fin tuna, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, chopped dill, and chopped chives into the cream cheese mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly incorporated.

    Chill the Dip

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
