Smoked fish paté? Think tuna salad from France on steroids. You can serve this like a dip for chips, a spread for crackers or toast points, make a sandwich with a tomato and melted cheese, plop it on top of a green salad, mix it with elbow pasta, rollups, serve accompanied by a platter of cured meats, and/or a cheese board…
Serve smoked fish with a crisp, high-acid, dry white wine. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc-based wines such as French Chablis or white Burgundies (Chardonnay) or White Bordeaux or Pouilly Fume (both Sauvignon Blanc) are classics. Champagne is also a winner.

Notes
About the smoked fish. I have done this with salmon and white fish. Works for both. The link above is to a smoked salmon recipe but you could substitute another fish if you wish.
