  • salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  • Remove any skin and bones from the mackerel. 
  • In a bowl combine the lemon juice and crème cheese. (1 teaspoon horseradish optional) Stir well. Now flake in the smoked mackerel. At this stage, if you prefer a smooth paste, you can puree the mixture. For a coarser texture just flake bigger chunks with a fork.

  • Before serving sprinkle the remaining teaspoon chives on top. 
  • Serve with bread, pastry or crackers. For an appetizer serve with cucumber, blinis or pumpernickel.
