Were not all Luvvers of smoked fish so its good to know that the following
recipe is both tasty and easy to make for a snack.
INGREDIENTS
2 mackerel Filleted and pin boned.
2 pints of Fish stock
75g of butter
3 tbsp of crème fraîche
1/2 tsp horseradish
1 pinch of smoked paprika
salt and pepper
To poach the mackerel, place the fish stock and the mackerel fillets into a wide pan. Bring up to a simmer and cook for 3—5 minutes until just firm. Remove from the heat and leave the mackerel to cool in the stock. Once cooled, discard the fish stock and separate the flesh from the mackerel skin
just make sure you check for any small pin bones left over....
Combine all of the ingredients with a fork, until the mackerel has broken up into fine strands, and season.....at this stage you can add additional ingredients if you prefer it more fiery etc....once happy.....cover and chill in the fridge.
transfer some Pate to a bowl.............
Serve with Crackers of your choosing
