Method
1. Using a fork, flake the mackerel, drawing it off the skin little by little, into a bowl
2. Add the butter, horseradish sauce, lemon juice, zest and black pepper to taste
3. Gently mix together, until all is incorporated, you can make it as rough, or smooth, as you like
4. For extra ‘kick’, try adding a splash of vodka
5. Serve on Melba toast, or tiny crackers, topped with a little lemon zest, or parsley
Try a light Italian wine such as Frascati, Pinot Grigio, Soave with these canapés, or a very dry sherry, a Tio Pepe or Fino
