- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1/2 medium red onion, minced
- 4 to 6 dashes of hot sauce
- 1/4 cup minced chives
- 1/2 pound skinless, boneless smoked bluefish, flaked
- Toasts or crackers, for serving

MAKE AHEAD
The pâté can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

ew cardinal rules here: This must be made the night before you plan to drink it, so it can sit overnight. Otherwise, the flavors just don’t come together. And while it looks like a long ingredient list, odds are half of them are in your fridge or spice cabinet already.
