spread a little joy with fast + easy smoked bluefish paté
it’s a wild, crazy, busy time of year for many of us right now, especially those of us in retail or the food business. not much time for entertaining or partying right now. we busy folks need an arsenal of quick appetizers for friends and family or things that can be easily carted off to a “bring a dish” holiday get together.
smoked bluefish paté is a winning crowd pleaser that can be prepared in minutes and is absolutely deelish. we’ve been singing the praises of fresh bluefish for years now. the same flavorful, fatty, moist flesh that we love in so many dishes, from salt crusted to teriyaki style to grilled, makes it a fine fish for smoking. the fullness of flavor and the fat content holds up to the smoke, doesn’t dry out like leaner fish and it keeps its flavor when mixed with the ingredients in this paté. this dish can be made days ahead of time, which really helps in these hurried times. we like to serve it with matzo crackers but any mild flavor cracker will do. give this recipe a try. i bet you’ll add it to your appetizer arsenal too!
