I will never forget my parents’ restaurants, the now defunct Cananna Country Kitchen and Oak Pond Restaurant here in Maine. At both places, trout was always served for breakfast, and it was constantly sold out. Pan fried trout, or trout in any manner has faded into history. But luckily you can still purchase smoked trout in many supermarkets and most seafood vendors.
The flavor is out of this world, as is this recipe for Oak Pond Smoked Trout Spread. Try this in place of canned tuna sometime. I enjoy a little substance to my spreads and dips, but you can also puree this to make it smoother if desired. But regardless, grab something to dip with and have at it!
Yield: approximately a cup and a half.
