Steps:
- Remove and discard any skin on the fish. Place the fish in a medium sized bowl and flake it with a fork. Add the cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of the mayo and stir until well blended , and the pate is a consitency of your liking (we like ours quite chunky -- almost requiring a spoon) adding more mayo or cream cheese as needed.
- Fold in celery, 1/4 cup of parsley and the onion. Add the lemon juice and hot pepper sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon into serving dish, cover and chill until serving time (at least 1-2 horus up to 48 hours).
- Remove and garnish with additional parsley and capers if using.
- Servie with crackers or for a chunkier pate, use toast points.
Tips:
- Use high-quality smoked whitefish. This is the star ingredient of the pâté, so it's important to use the best you can find.
- Don't overmix the pâté. Overmixing will make the pâté tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the pâté before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the pâté easier to spread.
- Serve the pâté with your favorite crackers or bread. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a dip for vegetables.
