Easy Mackerel Dip

Recipe Description

I adore Hanukkah food and this Mackerel Dip is no exception. Every year I make a batch of this creamy, savory dip to enjoy slathered on toasted flatbread or with celery sticks. It is one of my easy Hanukkah appetizer recipes and I’m sure you’ll love it too.

To make this delicious dip, start by removing any skin and bones from the mackerel. Mix the mackerel with onion and hot pepper sauce using a fork to break the fish into small pieces. Add mayonnaise and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover the dip and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

To make my Mackerel Dip, you will need the following ingredients:
