Smoked Fish Dip
There’s a restaurant in Round Rock, Texas called Salt Traders. That’s where I first had smoked fish dip. It’s also where I’ve watched my youngest kid crush fish dip like a champ – the waiters love it every time. This is a riff on their version. My kids also like my version, and I think you will too.
Smoked Fish Dip
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Season the fish filets with the blackening spice.
-
Smoke over very low heat until just cooked through. Allow to cool.
-
Flake the fish into small pieces. Set aside.
-
Combine mayo, cream cheese, and sour cream.
-
Add the lemon zest and juice, celery, shallot, pickle, capers, parsley, worcestershire, hot sauce, and blackening spice.
-
Gently combine so the fish doesn't turn to total mush - this leaves more texture to the dip.
-
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Serve with crackers, crostinis, or my favorite: salt and vinegar kettle chips.
