Smoked Fish Log

2 cups flaked, smoked fish
8-oz package cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp fresh minced onion (finely chopped)
2 tsp prepared horseradish
1 tsp liquid smoke (if not using pre-smoked fish)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup chopped pecans

If smoked fish is not available, pan saute plain fresh fillets with no seasoning or breading. After cooking, chop fish to fine consistency and set aside.

Combine cheese, lemon juice, onion, horseradish, liquid smoke, salt and cayenne pepper. Stir in cooked fish and mix thoroughly. Chill mixture for several hours. Shape fish mixture into log shape and roll in chopped pecans. Serve as hors d'oeuvre with assorted crackers.
