PREPARATION

1. Using your fingers, pick the meat off the skeleton of the fish, shredding it into a bowl. Discard bones and skin. If using fillets, use your fingers to coarsely shred the meat. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Gently fold fish into cream mixture until well combined. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. 3. Before serving, taste and add more onion, mustard or pepper if needed.
