While you can find a zillion recipes that add creme fraiche and other things, the real deal is just 3 ingredients: smoked fish (usually haddock or whiting), mayonnaise, lemon juice.&nbsp; Where did I learn this - from the folks at <a rel="nofollow" href="https://acmesmokedfish.com/">Acme</a>.</p> <p>S - those same brilliant Acme folks smoke sable too and you're so right - it is NOT cheap (9.99 for 3 onces).</p> <p>There is a story I have told here before, about a time in 1989 when my first husband and I - newlyweds and poor as church mice - invited married friends to our apartment for a classic Jewish brunch: bagels, lox, whitefish salad, sour tomatoes, etc.&nbsp; We had a small piece of sable that we spent a fortune on so we could entertain them in style.&nbsp; But no, they gave their one-year-old daughter THE ENTIRE THING, commenting on how much she loved smoked sable.&nbsp; The first Mr. A did not have a poker face and I never saw him look so dismayed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-holiday-food#post-2347792 Thu, 21 Dec 2023 21:26:33 +0000 Sloper 2347792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting!! &nbsp;I’ve never had Finnan Haddie. &nbsp;Because of my Jewish heritage, I grew up eating lox, kippered herring, and sable. &nbsp;Sable especially seems so expensive now.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks for the link. &nbsp;I hope your family enjoys this special treat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-holiday-food#post-2347787 Thu, 21 Dec 2023 17:45:18 +0000 Jules 2347787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yum! I didn’t grow up with deli whitefish salad but smoked whitefish is a local treat at my husband’s family cottage (Great Lakes area). I love to make a simple dip with sour cream and green onion (scallion) which I imagine is similar to the salad? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-holiday-food#post-2347781 Thu, 21 Dec 2023 15:15:24 +0000 April 2347781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, just placed my order for 5 pounds of Finnan Haddie from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.stoningtonseafood.com/">my buddy Richard Penfold.</a></p> <p>No point in buying less - the resident gentlemen can eat their way through a pound of smoked whitefish salad in a couple of days.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Last time I ordered 2 pounds of boneless kippers as well and shared a pound of those and a pound of Finnan Haddie with my friend Alistair, who grew up in a fishing village in Scotland.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I forgive him for the fact that both gifts are still in the freezer.&nbsp; Their son will be home for Christmas and they will thaw and cook both.&nbsp; Or so they say.&nbsp; ;)</p> <p> </p>
