Ingredients

  • 180 g smoked peppered mackerel
  • 250 g cream cheese (full cream or medium fat, whichever you grab first)
  • 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice (you may want to add an extra 1⁄2 T, taste it and then decide)
  • Baby carrots, for serving
  • Crackers, for serving

Cooking Instructions

Scrape the pepper and spices off the fish with a spoon, remove the skin and carefully break the fish into tiny pieces, being extra vigilant about removing any bones.

Mix the cream cheese, the mackerel and lemon juice in a blender (a handheld one is perfect.)

Serve with baby carrots, cucumber or bite-sized savoury crackers.
