I've been given a pack of mixed smoked fish from Morrison's in Gibraltar & I'm not sure how to serve it! - it has plain salmon & salmon with onion & red pepper and plain mackerel and peppered mackerel .

I was just going to serve it cold with salad but it's blooming freezing here in 'sunny' Spain tonight and fancy something warm - any suggestions guys?

We had smoked haddock with mash and peas the other night, it was amazing. We thought it was going to be dry and horrible but it was so nice, and I really do not like fish normally,

You could smash some of it up with Philadelphia, creme fraish etc to make a nice pate.

Thanks for all the suggestions but I ended up keeping it simple after all! Cold with some salad leaves, cherry toms and goat's cheese with warm, crusty baguette - it was delish

How much have you got of each? I absolutely love smoked mackerel pate with a bit of rocket, lemon wedges and toasted french bread.

Shared it with OH - so not a lot left but I have some Philly cheese so may mash it together tomorrow & have it on toast for lunch.

I was originally thinking of combining it hot with some Philly to make a kind of pasta sauce - anyone think that would have worked?

I tend to have warmed New Potatos in herbs with my fish.

Don't forget to add a teaspoon of horseradish sauce. Makes all the difference.

hmmm - never seen that out here - will have to travel to an 'English' shop to see if they stock it.

I have five more packs of both plain and smoked mackerel in the freezer to use so thanks for all the ideas

Horseradish & mackerel is a great combo - add some beetroot and it's even better!

Eat it. Lifes not that complicated.
