what can I do with smoked trout, please?

[Ponders]

I got 3 packets from Waitrose today, reduced to 99p from £4.99

I have to stick them in the freezer for now but what can I do with them, please????

I think you can make some sort of dip or pate with them...try googling that? Have also seen it used as a filling for jackets mixed with creme fraiche, I think. Sorry...a bit vague.

oh don't worry, Popbiscuit, I'm even vaguer

I have had smoked trout pate before (I think - may be getting confused with mackerel though...)

The jacket thing sounds lovely, I will look for that, thanks

I have a lovely trout starter recipe - hold on I'll hunt it out - I'm sure it would work just as well with smoked

Trout Cocktail

2 poached trout
4oz crushed pineapple
4oz cooked peeled prawns
4oz chopped celery

Dressing

2 tbsp mayo
1 dessert spoon horseradish
1 dessert spoon tom ketchup

mix all well together

dust paprika and use lemon to garnish

thank you, rosie (or should I call you fuckmepink??? )

Either is fine

Warm them up, sprinkle with pepper and eat with brown bread and butter. fuckmepinkandcallmerosie - what a great name!

loads of good ideas here

And thank you RedBin

Trout fishcakes?

Boil some potatoes and mash up. Add sauted onion, garlic, pepper, salt and add trout. Form into cakes and fry or bake. Lovely.

ooooh, lovely suggestions, thanks all

Ooh! I LOVE smoked trout! I'd make a salad with it. Flake the trout and mix with some peppery salad leaves (watercress, rocket, mizuna, mustard greens - -whatever floats your boat), some warm new potatoes and pearl beetroot (M&S do these and they are delish). Finish with a dressing made of 3 tbsp of mayonnaise mixed with 2 tsp of horseradish, the zest of 1/2 a lemon and a try generous grind of black pepper.
