Smoked Mackerel Paté

This is such a simple, satisfying and tasty dish which works as well as a starter, the centre piece of a salad, or for guests to nibble as they're having a drink. The oily fish is a great source of omega 3 fats and protein too, with the cream cheese clicking your calcium quota for the day too. Don't forget the horseradish!
