check it out...
use your favorite hot-smoked fish... i like Salmon or Trout. We have some beautiful mountain trout here in GA.
needs to be hot-smoked, cold smoked fish doesn't do the trick, too slimy.
let's say about a cup's worth of smoked fish, like a large tunafish can.
add:
1 tbsp greek yogurt
.5 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon/flat-leaf parsley... evenly split.
1 tbsp capers (chopped if you like, or not)
.5 tsp minced shallots
1 tsp lemon juice
salt and black pepper to taste.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Here's my favorite smoked trout salad type recipe

1 container spreadable cream cheese or brick left at room temp to soften
1 whole smoked trout, skinned and deboned (or you could use packaged fillets I guess)
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
2 chopped green onions
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper
pinch of cayenne
1 tablespoon dill or parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
1. Reserve about 1/4 of the fish meat and flake it roughly.
2. Place the remaining ingredients except the herbs in a food processor and work until smooth.
3. Check for seasonings and maybe add a little more lemon juice.
4. Add the herbs and pulse briefly.
5. Scrape into a bowl, fold through the reserved fish and refrigerate covered until required.
6. Spoon into serving dishes and serve with turkish bread, crackers and/or fresh veggie sticks.
