If this isn’t the quickest, easiest, most delicious-ist pâté you’ve ever had then I’ll happily eat my trilby (proof required before hat-eating will commence).
Take a smoked mackerel fillet.
Remove the skin
Flake the fish into a bowl.
Mash it up with the back of a fork.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a tablespoon of mayonnaise (or plain yoghurt if you are feeling the pull of the health-side). Season with black pepper (go easy on the salt).
Stir the whole tasty lot together and serve with oatcakes, perhaps?

I make this exact same recipe so often you wouldn't believe! Although I like mine on rye bread. Sometimes I throw in a few spring onion shreds or capers too - yum.
This is one of my 'go to' recipes too, and it never disappoints.
A good pinch of cayenne is great if you can get away with it.

I love smoked mackerel. I'll make it a point to pick up a fillet soon and make this.
Ahh, I wish I could get a decently priced smoked mackerel around here. Or maybe I should get off my rump and smoke my own!
Sounds delicious.
That's what I call a quick fix. I just came across your blog through the UKFBA and like it a lot.
dang, I love this! great stuff. I have been meaning to do a mackerel pate for blooming ages, and this might just be the ticket.
Great recipe of a home made spread!
