Questions about Fish paste
What is fish paste, and how is it different from fish pâté?
Fish paste is finely mashed or blended fish, usually seasoned and sold as a spread. Fish pâté is generally richer and smoother, often with added butter, cream or oil; the names can overlap on product labels.
How do you use fish paste in a sandwich?
Spread a thin layer on bread or toast, then add cucumber, lettuce or sliced tomato. It is salty and savoury, so you usually do not need much extra seasoning.
Can you cook with fish paste?
Yes. Stir a spoonful into a white sauce for fish pie, or mix it into mashed potato before shaping fish cakes; add it near the end so its flavour stays distinct.
How should you store fish paste after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use a clean knife or spoon each time. Follow the pack’s storage and use-by instructions, and discard it if it has been left unrefrigerated or shows signs of spoilage.
Can you freeze fish paste?
Freezing can make a smooth fish paste grainy or watery when thawed. If you do freeze it, seal it in a small airtight container and thaw it in the fridge; use it in a cooked sauce rather than as a spread.
Is fish paste suitable for someone with a fish allergy?
No. Fish paste contains fish, so avoid it if you have a fish allergy; check the ingredients for other allergens too, as recipes can include ingredients such as milk or egg.
