Smoked trout dip recipe?

[doughboyb]

Wondering if anyone would be willing to share a smoked trout dip recipe? I've got a ton of it in the freezer from a fishing trip to Lake Superior. I've grilled some, and it's great, just looking for a different way to use it up. Thanks.

I have a customer that comes into my shop for repairs on his vehicle about twice a year. He is a WWll marine vet. He would take a trip to Canada every year and fish for salmon. He would smoke a ton of it and make dip with it. Always brought some to the shop for all my guys to share. I wish I knew the recipe. He would never come off of it. And he has not been able to make it for the last few years as he is getting up there in age now. I'm going to follow this because I would love to find something like what he made us. Although even if it's the exact recipe I'm not sure it would ever be the same. It's that whole nostalgia thing. Kind of like when you have a dish your grandma made and make it the same way she did....still not the same.

Exactly what I was looking for, I like the hot sauce addition. Thank you very much!

It's different because you are eating savory then you bite into the Ginger and get a sweet hit with a sharp finish. More of a Pinch than a burn. Look for Australian Candied Ginger. It has the best flavor, but even the jar from McCormick, which is Sharper, is better than nothing...JJ
