Smoked fish is always popular for brunch, lunch or at cocktail time. In the All The Best kitchen we use local smoked trout to create a variety of deliciously flavourful appetizers and party snacks. In this recipe we turn the smoked fish into a tasty spread. Serve with crisp cornichons, cucumber rounds or spears of Belgian endive and a basket of pumpernickel bread or sesame toasts.
