SMOKED FISH DIP

Smoked Fish Dip image

This recipe for smoked fish dip is world class, puts most others to shame, and is served in several prominent restaurants on the gulf coast of Florida. We used smoked whitefish, well boned, but any other smoked fish should work. Serve with crackers, lemon or lime wedges, and capers.

SMOKED CATFISH AND CRAWFISH TAIL SPREAD

Smoked Catfish and Crawfish Tail Spread image

If you don't have a smoker to smoke your catfish filets, I have had some success with oven-smoke bags that you can get at the grocery store. These bags come complete with wood chips and instructions. Simply place your fish in the bag, and bake according to the directions. You can find crawfish tail meat already cooked and frozen in 1-pound packages in your supermarket freezer section.
