Smoked Trout Dip

Use this dip for crackers or bread as an appetizer, or serve it with celery sticks. Or both. Any oily fish works, but I prefer this with late trout. See headnotes for alternative fish.

Instructions

  1. Remove any skin or bones from the smoked fish and put into a bowl. Add all the other ingredients and pound and mash everything until it becomes a rough spread. Tinker with the seasonings as you like and serve cool over bread or crackers, or celery stalks.

Notes

  • As I mention, I use hot smoked lake trout here, but any hot smoked fish will work. 
  • Start with good smoked fish. Any will do, but trout, salmon or whitefish are my favorites. 
  • Use my recipe as a guide, not gospel. Tinker with the seasonings to suit your taste. It's all cooked already so you can taste as you go. 
  • Try adding some minced pickles to the mix for extra sour crunch. 
  • You can also go 50-50 smoked fish with leftover cooked fish and it will work well. 
  • Store in a covered container in the fridge up to a week.
