My smoked trout dip

No really seafood but it was a huge hit at our 4th of July party.
I used a food processor to blend the trout and cream cheese.
I then stirred in the rest of the items to get the crunchy texture and the taste I was looking for.
I purposely went light on the salt because I supplied salted crackers for dipping.
Lots of guests used items from the veggie tray to dip into the trout dip.
I kinda just used what we had on site.
If we had capers they would have found their way in it too (y).

1 - good half pound or so of smoked red meat trout but may be substituted with smoked salmon
1 - foil of smoked cream cheese
1/2 - foil non smoked cream cheeses
1 - stick of chopped celery
3/4 - can of chop water chestnuts
2- Tbs chopped dill start with one then add to suit
1/2 -cup chopped red onion
2 - minced garlic cloves
3 - chopped up green onions
2 - Tbs chopped chives
3 - Tbs sour cream
2 - or so dashes of kosher salt and ground pepper
2 - tsp of red chili flakes
2 - tsp paprika
served with parsley and chives for garnish

Can you taste the trout!?
might be great but, not what I’d do with good smoked fish.
I’m off to good fresh fish territory, will make some notes about what I do.
Just how much is a “foil”? Typo for TBSP? Just curious.
 
Yes it does taste like trout.

Yeah my spelling and shorthand slang conversion sucks.
A foil is what I call a container of cream cheese I think it’s 16 oz maybe?
I don’t have one so I can’t check the actual weight.

I live dead smack in the heart of good fish territory.
I do like simple pan fried trout fillets basted in butter with lemon possibly better but for a side dish dip I prefer this or a ceviche over anything else.
