With so much snoek in the Cape waters, few tastes capture Cape Town as tastefully as smoked snoek pâté.
It makes it a common dish for those living in and around Cape Town and along the coast.
It’s usually best eaten with crackers or melba toast!

Hi Shafika
I have also used smoked mackerel and smoked salmon.
