Smoke on very low heat in a smoker or grill over Hickory nuts or Hickory wood till done (don’t over cook, you do not want it crunchy)

 

Let cool and chop very fine

 

Take one pack cream cheese

 

8 oz of sour cream

 

Chop some chives or green onions

Salt to taste

 

Note from "Soup": Ok I made this on 10-24-02 from some mackerel I caught in Destin, FL. What I did was after I grilled it I took it off the grill then I soak it in Balsamic vinegar for about 10 min. Then I chopped it up. That help take some of the fish taste out of it. I put in some black pepper and garlic powder as well. Just to taste. This recipe turned out good!
