For a fun and tasty appetizer or finger food, this is a cute little twist on the term ‘fish and chips’. It uses smoked salmon as the fish and packaged potato chips as the serving vessel.
It’s elegant enough to be served at a special event or fancy picnic, but my kids thought it was just super funny and ate them all up.
The hardest part about preparing fish and chips with smoked salmon is finding and then keeping the potato chips in one piece. The cream cheese in the photos is piped as this is a quick way to do a lot, but when camping or doing a few for just us we simply dollop on with a spoon.
