Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Don’t over-mix so it goes mushy. It’s nice to have visible bits of fish for texture.

2 Garnish with parsley or dill. Serve with crackers.

Variations

I’ve made many variations of this dip based on last-minute pantry scrambles. These combinations work a treat:

canned tuna, lime juice, chilli flakes
canned salmon, basil, a chopped tomato
smoked fish, smoked paprika, preserved lemon
canned tuna, chopped avocado, wasabi
