Smoked Trout Dip…here we go!

You’ll need to start with 8 ounces of smoked trout, or any smoked fish you can get your hands on.

Tear into the flesh of the fish with two forks and pull it apart as you would with pulled pork.

Place flaked fish into a large bowl…

add 1/4 cup softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream and 1 tablespoon heavy cream…

mix together with a fork…

finely chop 1 tablespoon fresh dill and 2 tablespoons fresh chives…

add to mixture in bowl…

grab one medium size clove of garlic…

grate it over the delicious contents of the bowl.

Combine with the forks.

Cut a lemon in half.

Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of the lemon in with the fish…

add 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (oh yeah!  There’s seafood in this dish and I’m from New England, so… of course!)…

1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper…

a couple of dashes of tabasco and a couple of dashes of worcestershire sauce, and then a couple more dashes.

Combine all ingredients with the 2 forks, taste to make certain that it is adequately seasoned…

serve with crackers….

and Ta Da!  A glorious appetizer to wow your guests!

Bon Appétit, Ma Chérie!
