3 1/2fl oz (100 mls) soured cream

Method
Make sure all the small bones and skin are removed from the mackerel fillets.

Flake the fish and place in the bowl of a food processor with the soured cream, cottage cheese and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth and taste for seasoning, remembering smoked fish can be quite salty.
