This fatty freshwater fish is smoked to silky perfection before being carefully blended with quality olive oil for a luxurious mouthfeel and decadent taste.

Pate is not only an excellent way to use all parts of the fish. This timeless technique pulls deep and unique flavor from otherwise unappreciated (and often wasted) pieces of meat. Both sustainable and delicious, this makes the perfect cracker snack. Pair it with a favorite flatbread or crusty loaf alongside some pickles and you’ve built yourself a treat.
