Click the picture and take a good look at it.
Say someone dropped this off for you on your desk. Would you take the chance that maybe their dog licked it or there was kitty litter mixed in?
They tell me it’s bluefish pate. I got as far as to bring it inches from my mouth but as I was looking at that grey mound of goop, I just couldn’t bring myself to eat it.
So how bout you?
If someone you know and like dropped this off for you and told you it was Bluefish Pate, would you try it?
Good Morning Gloucester 
Would I eat it? No. Sorry.
It’s looks a lot like the spackle compound I use on walls.

No way, Jose, er Joey. Not my favorite fish anyway, but I do love smoked Bluefish and it looks nothing like that glop.

I would be suspicious that someone was tryin to trick me. You first then maybe. Did you at least sniff it? Ha, no wheat for me either!

This looks exactly like the bluefish pate I had at EJ’s Khan Gallery after Mug Up Sunday. THAT bluefish pate was delicious. If it’s the same stuff, dig in and enjoy!

You Photoshopped that with the most unappealing filter imaginable even the Wheat Thins look inedible. How you figured out that Stella the Wonder Dog licked the sample that went to the dock into a softserve point is beyond me. You must have a good sniffer.
There will be fresh (caught last week off Gay Head, smoked yesterday) bluefish at 9AM Mug Up next Sunday if we are going to have one. I have to get through Father’s Day Breakfast and my best Father’s Day present turns sweet sixteen so the calendar is filling.
Ed ate it right? Ed likes Stella. Stella likes Ed. A lot. (He drops stuff.)

The Secret: There is Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey in that patè. That kills anything. Even a good JJ JingleNuts kitty licking after she has been working over the kibbles and bits would have been vanquished. Well, not if she had kitty litter dingle berries. Nothing works on that.

I think that it is great that Paul and RD Catch the fish, then smoke it, finally preparing the spread (pate)…I do it also,the bluefish must be “hot” smoked, as opposed to the “cold” smoke process that we use for salmon…if you told your readers that it was Paul’s then would be more positive comments…I am sorry that you didn’t like it…

You’re probably right Toby but it does look like low tide at the head of the harbor 40 or so years ago.
