Kipper Pate

3 large juicy kippers
juice of 2 lemons
100 gr butter, melted over a low heat
freshly ground black pepper
1 heaped tbsp finely chopped parsley
Poach the kippers in a frying pan half full of water for 7-10 minutes. Turn the kippers over as they cook. Remove from the water on to a dish covered with absorbent paper and cool. Then flake the flesh from the bones and skin, picking out as many of the bones as you can. Put the flesh into a food processor. Blend and whiz the kipper flesh, adding the butter slowly until it is all used up. Then slowly add the lemon juice, tasting as you go to see it is not too sharp for your liking. Season with plenty of pepper, and the parsley.
Skoop the pate into a serving dish cover with cling film and keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.
