This snoek pâté is smoky, creamy, bright with lemon, and lifted by fresh parsley and a gentle chilli kick. It is quick to make, deeply savoury, and perfect spread over crisp toast or crackers for an easy classic starter.

This simple breakfast pairs flaky smoked snoek with hot buttered toast and a glossy layer of apricot jam. The result is an unmistakably South African sweet-salty bite: smoky fish, rich butter, bright lemon, and crisp toast in perfect contrast.
