Steps:
- 1. Place the fillets of mackerel in suitable dish and heat thought in a microwave until they are hot, but still touchable. Whilst still hot peel / scrap the skin off each fillet and check for bones. Put one fillet to one side.

- 3. Taste and if required add more lemon juice until you are happy. Then spoon pate back into the bowl. Shred the remaining mackerel fillet and add to the pate, mix well and chill in a covered container.
- 4. You can either serve this in a bowl with crudities or on top of https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/snack/snack-crackers/crostini-2.html?p=19 decorated with some fresh dill.
