If you spend any time in bars in South Florida, you are bound to come across Smoked Fish Dip. The place I liked the best in Ft. Lauderdale made one with shark and it was so good, I used to buy a container of it to bring home after scarfing down more than my fair share of it at the bar when I lived in Florida many years ago. It’s hard to find shark in Utah, or any really good fish that you don’t catch yourself, so I made this with smoked salmon and it was as good as you can get this far inland. Wash it down with a few gin and tonics and you’ll feel like you’re sitting outside at a seaside bar on the Atlantic Ocean, watching the waves roll in. I have a pretty lively imagination, so maybe you’ll just feel like you’re eating something really yummy wherever you happen to be!
Florida Smoked Fish Dip
Ingredients
4 ounces of smoked salmon or whitefish
3 T mayo
3 T sour cream
1 T cream cheese
juice of one lemon
1 t lemon zest
1 t chopped cilantro
3 dashes of hot sauce
3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
Flake the fish in a large bowl

You can use a food processor, but I like the texture better when it’s hand mixed
Serve with crackers and pickled vegetables.
Yum – very nice! I’ll make this for sure. Thanks. PS Do you have adequate snow on the ground?
Hi Barb,
Nice to hear from you!
We do not have enough snow at all! I took a drive up into the high Unitas yesterday and it’s pretty scary how little snow is up there.
