This week’s #SundaySupper features cool recipes ideas to get you out of the kitchen and #beattheheat!
I was privilaged to work in a family owned deli for 13 years. The thing is, the same family didn’t own it the entire 13 years! In reality, over the years there were 6 different families: 1 Jewish, 1 Irish, 3 German and one Greek! Talk about culture shock! I learned a wealth of techniques, recipes and traditions all in one place. I was truly blessed!
When we first opened we carried a line of popular fishes; Nova and belly lox, kippered salmon, herring, sable, carp and smoked whitefish, which was usually sturgeon. Whitefish salad was a popular item to put on our freshly baked bagels (yes, I learned how to make those too). Nothing tastes quite like it, salty and smoky, mild yet bold.
That was where I learned to clean fish too! Wow 30 years later I still remember!
Smoked fish is part of so many cultures. If you have never had it, try it sometime!
I replaced the traditional mayo with sour cream, although the sour cream version has been around a long time!
Smoked Whitefish Salad Bagel Bites
Smoked whitefish is a great change from tuna or salmon salad. Check your deli department for flaked whitefish, a great time saver!
3 cups smoked whitefish, flaked
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp dill weed
12 each bagel, mini
1. Add whitefish, celery and scallions to a medium-size bowl. Mix.
2. In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, lemon juice and dill.
3. Add dressing to fish mixture and fold in. Serve on a bagel or a salad plate.

What a wonderful experience working in that deli must have been! I had smoked fish dip for the first time a year or so ago and loved it. Now you've inspired me to try and make it.
I just did a post last week on something similar-ish – Whitebait! This is a cool looking recipe, I love smoked fish! Thank you so much for sharing!
xoxo,
Cheri

Look delicious!! I love whitefish but I've never had it smoked (That I can remember) so need to try that! Great recipe!
Thanks Nicole!

It's a bummer that I never see smoked fish around here
It definitely looks interesting!

Oh my gosh Cindy this brings back so many memories! My grandmother used to serve smoked whitefish and/or mackerel with Sunday breakfast. She would smoke the fish on Saturday, so delicious. I introduced my husband to lox and cream cheese. Now he's a smoked fish fan too.
Have a wonderful week!
What a very beautiful delicious healthy food up there! :O

Thanks for stopping by Carla! I'd rather buy some fish whole like trout and do it myself!
This is a wonderful recipe. I love fish but don't buy whitefish enough.
Thanks Kim! Every once in a while I indulge with it myself!
