  I made this for an 'all female' dinner party & it went down really well. It was extremely easy to prepare & I will definitely try it again. I made it with salmon, but I'm keen to try it with trout too.

  Made this quick and easy recipe night before big family meal. Went down a treat, not too rich leaving room for next course. Used philadelphia cream cheese with chives already in rather than both separately. Delicious.

  So easy to make and very tasty. I purchased some mini kilner jars from lakeland as they suggested and this makes it look like you've put lots of effort in!! This has now been firmly added to my list of starters!

  Absolutely delicious, and so easy to make. I think the lemon was a bit big as I felt it was a bit lemony. Easily rectified next time

  This is lovely, I also make this with any leftover sour cream, natural yoghurt or creme fraiche. Does anyone know if leftovers will freeze?

METHOD. Place the mackerel, cream, horseradish sauce and lemon juice in a blender and blend to a smooth puree. Put the chicken stock in a saucepan, bring to a simmer, put the drained gelatine into the hot stock and stir until dissolved. Whisk it into the mackerel mix until well combined. Place in the fridge for 3 hours to set........ Brilliant on toast/ crackers etc.

  I made this as part of a buffet and served it with homemade wholemeal pitta crisps to dip. It was so delicious and easy to make. I polished off the leftovers for my lunch the next day! Will definitely make again.

  Made this with hot-smoked salmon, with some extra lemon - a perfect recipe. Used Philadelphia with chives as recommended by Hellsbells. So easy to make and everyone loved it.

  Does anyone know how long this will last in the fridge? I am making it for Christmas day starter and it would be handy to make in advance and save the left overs for boxing day lunch.
