Smoked trout

No idea what to do with it.
Thought it might be yummy as a treat.
The people eating it are very conservative, use to garlic/ ginger/ soy sauce kind of favours.
But i'll really consider any suggestions

Ooh, YUM!!!

You can use it in a similar way to smoked salmon - it goes well with flavours like capers, cream cheese, carrot, cucumber, egg, peas, potatoes, dill, yoghurt...

How much have you got, and how many people? Is it a mains or entree or appetiser-sized serving? Can you shop for special ingredients, or do you need to use what you already have in the cupboard and fridge?

Will be using what we have. Cucumbers, capers, sour cream, potatoes.
Maybe I cut it up and have several dips?
It will be part of a Chinese dinner

I've seen an asian-style appetiser that had smoked salmon wrapped around a short stick of cucumber, then rolled in sesame seeds. I reckon if this was drizzled with soy sauce you'd be onto a winner.

I've also seen cucumber cut into fat rounds, some of the seeds scooped out to make a shallow cup, and filled with a filling of some sort - maybe chopped trout, capers and a little sour cream to hold it together? I don't think sour cream is very asian, though!
