Description

One of our most popular appetizers, bluefish pâté has been on the menu for many years. We serve it with Kalamata olives and commercial pickled cipollinis (bulbs of grape hyacinths that taste like pickled onions). Pickled onions are a fine substitute.

Ingredients

1 pound smoked bluefish fillets
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons Cognac
3 tablespoons minced onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt
Freshly milled black pepper
Chopped toasted walnuts or hazelnuts (optional)

Directions

  1. Puree the bluefish, cream cheese, butter, and Cognac in a food processor. Add the onion, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Pulse the machine on and off until the ingredients are combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Pack into a serving dish and sprinkle with the nuts, if using.
