About

This unusual fish pâté has every advantage. Firstly, it is delicious. It is easy to make and inexpensive. It freezes well or can be made and chilled in the fridge a day in advance. Lastly, with its dark green parsley and butter top, it has an extremely impressive appearance. It is perfect either as a first course or as an accompaniment to cold meats.
