Smoked Whitefish Salad Stuffed Kataifi
By: Acme Smoked Fish
This is Chef Maylin Chávez's creative take on kataifi, a traditional dish of the Eastern Mediterannean. This dish can be sweet or savory, but Chef Maylin's version, made with Acme Smoked Fish's smoked whitefish salad, makes for a distinctly savory appetizer when served on its own, or a filling entree when paired with an herb salad. Kataifi is a popular regional snack, but has particular cultural importance in Greece and Turkey. The origins of kataifi are unclear, but certain sources attribute the dish to Armenian vendors in Eastern Turkey, where it is now popularly served during Ramadan. With the addition of smoked whitefish salad, this classic dish gets a distinctly fresh spin.
