- Select a large whole filet of the best quality smoked fish you can afford.
- If the sauce is too thick to pipe easily, add one tablespoon of warm water or enough to achieve a consistency that makes it easy to create a decorative pattern yet keeps it firm enough to hold a shape.
- Other accompaniments to a fish platter can be halved cherry tomatoes, sprigs of fresh chives or parsley, salmon mousse, raw oysters or smoked salmon.
