Before moving to Florida I had never heard of a mullet other than the ‘Joe Dirt’ haircut… so I had no clue what people were going on and on about. It wasn’t until last year that I actually tried mullet for the first time and boy was it good!

Mr. Awesome has long raved about a mullet dip that a friend would make but he could never get the recipe. We worked together to try to recreate the recipe that he remembered and he says that this is pretty darn close and everyone else agrees. We have used this to make a Smoked Salmon recipe as well and it was pretty good too!

Smoked Mullet Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 smoked mullet or about a pound of any smoked fish
• 4-6 oz cream cheese or kefir cheese
• 2-4 T mayo
• 1 T. celery salt
• 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced or 1-2 T. dried chives
• 1 t. lime juice
• 2 T. lemon juice
• Fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Hot sauce, if desired
• Crackers for serving

Directions:

Carefully remove all the bones from the smoked fish.

Place the cheese, mayo, celery salt, onions, lime, and lemon juice in the food processor and blend together. (You could also mix this  together with a hand mixer,)

Add the fish and pulse a few times until mixed well. You can also just stir it in after you dump it into a container so that it doesn’t turn to complete mush.

Add the salt, pepper, and hot sauce to your liking and you can add a little more lemon juice if you like.

Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

It is best to chill for about an hour but we usually eat it right away and it is great!
