What it is
This is a prepared salad featuring flaked smoked whitefish. It is typically mixed with mayonnaise and seasonings to create a spreadable, flavorful salad. The whitefish is smoked, which imparts a distinct savory and slightly sweet taste. The texture is usually tender and flaky from the fish, combined with the creaminess of the dressing. It is ready to eat straight from the container.
