Mat's Fish (Get Your Mind Out Of The Gutter) Spread, aka "Stalkers' Fish Bone 'Crack' Spread"

"Here's one of my all time favorites... a great app/starter, perfect for game day, or any day and simply a classic staple in the south.... Smoked Fish Spread! 

Ingredients  (You can substitute if you must, but try to seek out these ingredients for best results....)

6-8 ounces smoked fish*
8 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese
1/3 cup Dukes mayo (more or less, depending on how wet you want your spread)
Zest and Juice of one Myer Lemon.
2 Tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce ( I like Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce or Daves Insanity Hot Sauce)
1 Jalapeno minced
6-8 Green onions minced
kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste

*I like to use Mullet, King Fish, Spanish Mackeral, or Trout. If your local fish market doesn't have these fish, try using whiting, basa, pollock, or tilapia (ALTHOUGH FOR BEST RESULTS USE ONE OF THE FIRST FOUR FISH I MENTIONED). If you need to clean your fish, remove heads, gut them out [editor's note: if you use fish from Boise, Idaho, you can ignore this step; things from Boise have no guts], and butterfly them open, then rub them down with Everglades Heat**, an all purpose rub with a little kick to it. Smoke the fish at 250 degrees for about an hour and half or until the meat starts to separate from the bones. I smoke my fish with citrus wood, but any hard wood will do.
[**editor's note: Mat, leave us comment telling us what "Everglades Heat" is. As far as I know, it's the special forces unit that runs more or less constant stings on University of Miami boosters.]

Steps:

1. Remove skin and bones from smoked fish and flake with a fork.
2. Combine fish, and the rest of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix thoroughly.
4. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. Overnight chilling improves flavor.
5. Serve with wheat thin crackers, or saltines.
6. Garnish with hot sauce (optional)

I call this "Stalkers Fish Bone Spread" even though it shouldn't have bones in it. Guys at work call it "Crack Spread" I can't really come up with a funny name for it... [editor's note: Mat doesn't think "Crack Spread" is funny enough????!!]"
