Smoked Fish

[Jarrod32]

So I have some fish (some white bass) in the smoker this afternoon. I have a couple ideas/recipes for some smoked fish dip/spread, and will probably make some patties for a "fish burger". Any other ideas? What do you guys do with your smoked fish?

i basicly like smoked fish on good crackers. i am thinking of mixing some in with my next batch of stuffed jalapenos. care to share your recepie? thanks good luck.

Here is one that I use for Salmon but it should work for most smoked fish. It will have a better flavor if it sits for a day. I have not used any of the options and I use two packs of cream cheese. If you don't soften the cheese it will break up your chunks of fish. I also like using green onions and 8 oz of sour cream.

1 lb. of smoked salmon

1/2 bunch of parsley

1 can of black olives

1 medium onion or 2 bunches of green onions

2-3 heaping spoonfuls of rough cut horseraddish

8oz. to 16oz. of sourcream(filler)

2-3 jalapenos

2-3 pks. of creamcheese soften(nuked slowly)--the creamcheese is not part of optional

mix together

optional--- dash of liquid smoke--waterchestnuts---1/2lb.pecans---dash of lemon juice for what ?

that certainly looks very tasty. are you talking fresh horseradish shredded from the root itself? or can you use straight horseradish out of the jar? thanks. good luck.

[Jim Almquist]

I just had the out of the jar in the house but it was the hotter version.

[reinhard1]

ok, kind of thought that. i remember when i was a kid we had an italian neighbor who grew horseradish. it made me think of that. man that stuff was hot. if you had congestion in the nose it would quickly be gone . good luck.

Here's (roughly) the one I use for a dip/spread:

Ingredients

2 cups flaked smoked whitefish

2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise

4 tablespoons fat-free sour cream

4 drops hot pepper sauce, or to taste

3 drops Worcestershire sauce, or to taste

3 drops liquid smoke flavoring (optional)

cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Place whitefish, mayonnaise, and sour cream in the bowl of a food processor. Season with hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and cracked black pepper. Blend all ingredients until consistency reaches a spread.

Or, some simple fish patties:

Ingredients

2 cups of flaked fish ( canned or leftovers )

1 cup bread or cracker crumbs

2 eggs, fork beaten

1 tbs minced onion

salt and pepper to taste

butter to saute

Smoke the fish; Cool and mix with remaining ingredients to from patties.

Fry patties in hot butter until golden brown each side.

Serve with a white sauce or in hamburger buns with lettuce, tomatoes etc.

The recipe I use is.

Ground smoked fish

Diced onion

Diced celery

pickle relish

Mayo

I don't measure.Just add what looks right.It is important to grind up your smoked fish in a blender or food processor.It should be light and fluffy before you add anything.

+1 we normally use smoked salmon for it but at the holiday dinners it never last more then 10 minutes, my only change is fresh dill and diced pecans.
