Classic Deli Style White Fish Salad (on a Bagel) | Building Feasts

My very English version of a NewYork Deli classic….. Whitefish salad on a fresh bagel....squint and you could be on the Lower East Side of Manhattan at your favourite appetising store. Or just make this in the comfort of your home for a little old school nostaligia. It does not disappoint.

And if you would prefer this as a dip rather than a schmear, I highly recommend eating it on a crinkle crisp. White Fish Salad (on a bagel…obvs) If your bagels are not same day fresh (or you have some doubt about their quality) make sure you toast them first - it makes the world of difference. I like to top mine with sliced pickles (because I'm a purist) but feel free to shred some lettuce, slice some cucumbers and/or red onion and even a sliced tomato for full Americana (I personally don't get the tomato at all but you do you). 500g smoked trout (or white freshwater fish) 2 tbsp mayonaise 1 tbsp creme fraiche 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp chopped dill & chives Juice of 1/2 lemon a couple of splashes of hot sauce Optional Extras: 1 celery rib, chopped finely2 spring onions or 1 small shallot finely chopped1 tbsp capers, rinsed & roughly choppedsour cream instead of creme fraiche Flake the smoked trout into a bowl, making sure you remove all the bones. Mix in all the remaining ingredients (and any extra you want to throw in there) Schmear on the freshest bagel you can get your hands on and top with sliced pickles.
