Mackerel Spread

One of my staple foods, I make this a couple of times a month (not more so as not to get sick of it!!)
Extreeeemly simple and oh so good:

Tinned mackerel (in olive oil or just plain/grilled/smoked- just check the ingredients!)
OR fresh smoked mackerel
1 or 2 tspns Tahini (optional - I am now allergic so don't use!)
3 tspns Mustard (grainy mustard!)
Olive oil (until desired consistency and taste)
salt and pepper
Whatever else you want depending on allergies etc. (ex. paprika,celery salt, lemon juice)
Fresh herbs as desired

Just mush it all up together with a fork, add olive oil and season to taste! If you are allergic to sesame paste, use another such as almond paste (delicious!...those were the days..!) - or just leave it out!
Alternatively, mix it in a food processor - mix most of it but keep back some lovely flakes of fish to mix into/ sprinkle over the super fine paste after - makes it all pretty with a sprig of fresh herbs or fresh chopped herbs sprinkled over. Mmmmmm :p
Enjoy on 100 % Buckwheat crackers, on a baked sweet potato, with cucumber, on buckwheat pancakes, savoury scones etc. or with salad! Y.U.M.
